Fighting PCOS Naturally

 I sort of forgot to post this update on June 1st. Oops. Oh well, I'm still quite satisfied at how many points I got. Too bad I missed the deadline for the link-up.  15 points: Read a book with "light" or "dark" in the title. (Or "lightness" or "darkness.") Dark Fire, Christine Feehan, 4 stars 20 points: Read a book with an animal on the cover. Dark Blood, Christine Feehan, 5 stars. With all of Christine's books, there are some awesome sex scenes. If you don't like reading these types of scenes, this series is definitely not for you. But with this book, there was a HUGE fight, and it was very well planned before written. It was very detailed, and you could almost feel the intensity of the battles. 25 points: Read a book that is part of a series with at least four books. Dark Melody, Christine Feehan, 4 stars 25 points: Read a book that is longer than 500 pages long. The Face, Dean Koontz, 679 pg , 5 stars. This book wa...

I've spent a lot of time in bed lately, due to serious pain flares. It has not been fun. Having the guys at home to hang out with has been some help, but I'm still so frustrated by the lack of ability to do anything. So I've been reading books. Lots of books. I think I've finished 3 in the last week or two. When Angie posted about this book challenge she is doing, I decided I must do it as well! I just recently won two of Angie's blog giveaways, so I'm kinda hooked on her blog lol. I've always loved books as a way to disappear into another world. Books are movies on steroids. For less than the cost of one movie ticket, I can get hours and hours of video in my head. I can put myself in the movie, playing the main character. I can be the good guy, the bad guy, or the one you aren't so sure about.  I feel bad for the people that say they hate reading, or the ones who haven't picked up a book since some of the crappy ones we were forced to read in school...

I want to keep these simple so I don't get too frustrated too early in the year :) Read 5 books (already read 1 - I love being a fast reader!) Use all the produce that comes in the house - no waste! Fill my mp3 player with good music and head to the gym! No fast food! Ok, this one isn't as simple, but I'm ready to try it! I think that these goals will be a success and make a great start to the year. Here's to 2014! You can join us in this month's goal link-up! Enter below!

I love books. I can finish a novel in a single day, given enough free time to do it. Usually I can get through it in 2-4 days if I have less time on my hands, or I only read after I get in bed. I've always been a HUGE fan of Dean Koontz. I have a goal to read and own a copy of every book he's written. Yeah, I love his books that much. But while Koontz is amazing, sometimes I need a break. A change of pace. Even a change in species. Hubs likes the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton. When I was buying the set for him for Christmas, I snagged a few of books from her Merry Gentry series. I'm a sucker for faeries, so the Merry Gentry series wasn't something I would turn down. I read the entire series in a couple of weeks. But what was I to do after finishing those novels? Well, a neighbor solved that problem for me and introduced me to Anne Bishop and the Black Jewels Trilogy . Oh Em Gee. Suspenseful, thrilling, intriguing, novels that I couldn...
