I finished my first round of edits on RED. I am getting ready to print out the book, so that I can take it with me. (Dh and I are heading out for a few.) I’m actually looking forward to the change of scenery. Even resort areas get old, if you’ve been there too long. Not sure how much blogging I’ll get done while I’m away. (Won’t have regular access to a computer.) Normally, that would bum me out, but I’m kind of looking forward to it.
Now of course comes the real hard part…which books do I pack to read??? I have so many on my TBR pile that I’m just not sure. Will I be in the mood for a paranormal? Historical? Graphic Novel? Contemporary? UGH! I just don’t know. I’ve been jumping all over the place lately. I know I won’t have time to read more than two novels because I don’t read fast enough. Did I mention that I also have a ton of magazines that I haven’t gotten around to reading yet? At last count, I was four RWR (Romance Writer’s of America mags), five Novelist Inc. newsletters, and two Romantic Times Magazines behind. (Stop staring at that stack of seven Discover magazines in the corner. *g*) This is what happens when editing takes over ones world.
I realized something else that’s kind of sad. I won’t actually get to work on a new book until the end of July, if all the edits I have due come in on time. 
That’s just not right.
As you can tell, I have nothing to really say. If you have some suggestions for books I should take, shout them out. In all likelihood, I own them. (wg) I would like to congratulate my girl, Catherine. She entered and completed her first triathlon. Mega cool news. Please stop by and congratulate her.

I’m kind of looking forward to NOT working on a new book for at least five minutes. *g* Enjoy your time away and offline! It’s good to unplug once in a while.
I’m sure you’ll find something to read, and since you will need to have whatever you’re really in the mood for, I’m sure you’ll be packing more than 2 books!

Do not tempt me. It’s ugly already. *ggg*

by Jordan June 11th, 2007 at 10:42 pmEnjoy the time away. Read lots, recharge, and relax!!
Maybe even write a little in a notebook if the urge strikes. LOL.. Have fun!
by Sasha June 11th, 2007 at 11:21 pmSasha, I have the notebook and the books…along with my edited manuscript. This will definitely be a reading trip for me, even if it’s not all fun. *ggg*

by Jeaniene June 12th, 2007 at 4:03 pmHave a nice time, Jordan. I just read Nightlife, by Rob Thurman (Roc Fantasy), and it’s really great!

And have a great time. Which books did you end up bringing?

by Jordan June 13th, 2007 at 6:11 pmCathryn, Thanks! I LOVE Rob Thurman’s books. She’s one of my favorites.
by Jordan June 13th, 2007 at 6:12 pmCatherine, You deserve it. You did great.
I ended up with Karen Chance’s latest, an Alison Kent book and a Jill Shalvis Blaze. 
I also brought ‘The Horror Associations’ On Writing book.
