Day 15: A fanfic

Fan fiction. I'm sure we all have one of these... even if we haven't read it any in years.
I think my favorite Fanfic series was Goosebumps by R. L. Stine. It was a great series!! I always had fun reading it. They were a little bit creepy, a little spooky, but always a great read.
Of course, this series is supposed to be for kids, so I haven't read any in quite a while. I think I may try to get my kids interested in them tho. See if I can get Monkey a little more interested in reading. We try to pick books that are just slightly above his reading level to give him a little bit of a challenge. Maybe some Goosebumps books will do that for him! I guess we will have to see.

On another note, I'm half way done with the 30 Days of Me. I should be way more done than that, but, some days I forget, some days I don't feel like it. I started my diet and exercise program over. The July 4th holiday was NOT good to my weight! I gained back the 3 pounds that I had lost the week before. I guess that means that I need to get a little more serious with my work out! Tomorrow I'm taking my friend Hannah to the airport, then I will go to Britts and work out. I'm trying to get the gumption to work out today. I really need to. I know I need to. The kids are up, and I just can't get the motivation to pop in that DVD!

Day 14: A non-fictional book

Wow.... non-fiction. Not my favorite genre to read. I'm a fiction kinda girl. I've read a few tho.

I think that my favorite non-fiction book would have to be the autobiography of Jim Morrison. I read it in about 2 weeks. Yeah, I know, that sounds like a long time, but, I was in school at the time as well, and by school, I mean high school!
I know I really should read more non-fiction, but, I simply don't. What more can I say?!

Day 13: A fictional book

Wow. I have to pick ONE?!

Okay. Here's the problem with that. I love to read. I love that I can pick up a fictional book, and be magically transformed from my home to some far away land at a different time where nobody even knows I'm there! How in the world am I supposed to pick just one book?! There are so many good ones!!

Wow. I really know know what my favorite fiction book is. I guess I will just start with something I've read recently. I really liked The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It was a very good book! I read it in a couple of days, and it was a thought invoker. It's worth a read.
