Because I am always "going to" ...

Another reason I am committing myself to my New Year's resolution of reading one to two novels per month, is because I have many books sitting in my book shelf that I haven't actually read, despite owning them for some time now. I am one of those "I am going to" type of girls, and then I get distracted by something else that's bright and shiney, often things get put to the way-side. But not anymore! It's all about to change, especially considering that upon inspecting my bookshelves tonight, I discovered 10 books I have never read.

I have MANY more books I want to buy and read, so if I want to buy, I need to actually read these 10 "new" books I have already purchased in the past 12 months. I have:

• Jayne Ayre by Charlotte Bronte : I am yet to read a classic ... did I just admit that in type?
• Tell Me Where It Hurts by Dr. Nick Trout : again, a book with a dog on the front cover. I said it before, and I'll say it again ... sucker!
• Eva Luna by Isabel Allende : I purchased this book based on the fact that my dog's name is Luna and my brother's dog's name is Eva. Dog related!
• White Gardenia by Belinda Alexandra : have no idea what this book is actually about - a gift I purchased a while back for my husband's sister, that didn't end up going to her for some reason.
• Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice : I am addicted to anything relating to fantasy, magic and the supernatural (and don't say I didn't warn you!).
• The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman : loved the movie, must read this!
• Atonement by Ian McEwen : I refuse to see the movie before reading.
• Vampire Academy: Frostbite by Richelle Mead : the second book in the Vampire Academy series. Love!
• Dexter; An Omnibus by Jeff Lindsay : Dexter is one of my favourite TV shows ever!
• Trueblood Omnibus by Charlaine Harris : what did I say about the supernatural?

Got a LOT of reading to do by the looks of it, and with my wishlist growing daily: The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold; Marley & Me by John Grogan; and Fallen by Lauren Kate; along with series books (got to LOVE a series) such as His Dark Materials; Vampire Academy; Trueblood; and Evernight by Claudia Grey; I have my work cut out for me!

Maybe I should make this "resolution" last a lifetime! Put it this way, my husband would forever be happy cos with a lifetime of reading I am not going to have time to go shopping!
