I have been sitting here staring at this blank page for 5 minutes wondering what to post about and my mind is blank. This is something that has been happening a lot lately, I have all of these ideas and none of them will transfer themselves on to paper, or computer in this case. Why must there be this thing known as writer's block? I thought I was past this but now it is just haunting me daily.
I guess I will tell you about the books I got this week. On Tuesday I went to Little Rock with my borhter and sister and future bro-in-law so Skip(brother) could get fitted for his tuxedo for Savannah and Jared's wedding (sis and bro-in-law). Afterwards Skip and I went out own seperate way and he took me to this cute store called Garden Ridge. It is this home decor store with other random items, and they had marked down the majority of thei rbooks to $0.25, so I dug my way through three tables full of books looking for ones that caught my eye. After about an hour or so and coming across countless repeated books I finally resurfaced with six books. I don't remember the titles of all of them but I will name all that I can remember. Novel, Matches, Desert Crossing, Liberation, Sweetness in the Belly, and Irish Sports Page. Oh wow I did remember them all.
Last night I read Desert Crossing and it was different, interesting, but overall it was good. It started off with these three teens, two boys who were eighteen (Jamie and Kit) and a fourteen year old girl (Lucy) who was Jamie's sister. Kit is Jamie's best friend. They are passing through New Mexico on their way to spend spring break with Jamie and Lucy's father, Kit is along because his parents were away. Anyway they are passing through the desert and it gets dark all of a sudden and starts raining and they can't see out of the window very well and they hit something, after turning back they find a girl's dead body and think they have run her over, they didn't they actually hit a coyote. They stay at this woman's, Emily, house while they are waiting on the police to see if they actually hit her or not. Jamie has an affair with Emily which made it very disturbing, the author didn't go in to detail. Kit and Lucy end up kissing a couple of times while trying to figure out who acutally left the girl there dead, they find this guy who had date raped the girl but he gave her a pill which caused the girl to have a heart attack and he actually confesses to the police. Kit tells Lucy that they can't be a couple, although she had been telling him all along, and he kept wanting to kiss her, but since they are going home he said that it wouldn't happen then, but who's to say if they will get together eventually. The book ends with them starting to go back home and a coyote runs out in front of them again, but they put their brakes on in time this time.
I started reading Matches today and I just threw it away, it had the F word all throughout it and I didn't want to read that, so I just threw it in the trash. So that was my venture in to my books so far, hopefully the other ones won't be so full of cuss words, although I normally just take a pen to the page and mark them out if needed, but there was just too much in that book.
