I Sound Like A Broken Record...

Again, I have to admit to not posting much on this blog. Nothing really to admit to, since it's plainly obvious. Could it be that blogging was just a phase, a trend? Maybe for me. I hope I jump back on the wagon, though, since I do like the idea of blogging. It's just getting around to actually doing it that's a problem. There's a huge, seemingly unavoidable, expanse in my mind, between ideas and actions. Like those giant puddles on every street corner in Toronto, after a snowstorm followed by a rise in temperature followed by a rain shower (such weird weather we have). Meh!

Anyways- I'm posting today about Canada Reads! The books have been announced, and I've chosen one for our next book. The Outlander, by Gil Adamson. I read the summaries for each book, and this one seemed the most interesting to me. Plus, it shares a name with one of my all-time favourite books, Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I don't think the books will share much else than that, though.

I'm hoping to get through all of the five chosen books for this year's Canada Reads debate. I've never been able to do it before- I've never even gotten close (probably because I haven't really tried). This year, though, will be different. Ha! Luckily, there are a couple lighter reads, mixed in with some of the daunting, heavier ones (literally, and subject-ively speaking).

Oh, if anyone is struggling to think of a gift for me, you can pick me up all five books at a discount from CBC... just thought I'd throw that out there! LOL!
