Things I Read Thursday – Bad Romance

November 27, 2014 By Food Retro

 

Funny girl with book on white

Most of my reading the last little bit has been taken up with reading and shopping for cookbooks, which is SUPER exciting, I know! Mostly it involves looking for ideas that haven’t been done to death for a new twist or an old classic, especially now that I’m writing for YMC.

Oh, right, I have to link post… Tomorrow, I promise. I will link post once I figure out how to log in and make a small change to my post. NOTE TO SELF: read manual for logging in on Drupal… or just get Jeni or Candace or someone to give me “The Idiot’s Guide To:” version for now.

Needless to say, I’ve been hopping, and by the time I stop working, I’ve not got a lot of steam for my usual online haunts and complicated reads.

So I’ve been reading romance on my Kobo e-reader. Bad romance. The sort of downloadable library books that are generously described as “books” at 80 pages long, and have a plot thinner than a skimpy negligee. 

Don’t judge. I can’t keep my brain on ALL 18 hours a day when I’m working 12 of them! And for that very reason (cause I’m slightly ashamed) I am also not letting you know the titles. Even my own inner nerd mocks them sometimes.

But you know what, it’s fine. I read science papers for research sometimes, for Zeus’ sake.

I think I’m covered.

Anyway.

I’m not sure what’s more embarrassing, the fact that I read these books, or the fact that I usually fall asleep after reading about three pages when I read in bed.

Seriously, they’re great snooze material.

And it’s not like I’m falling asleep in the middle of anything important.

They’re perfectly easy to just pick up again.

I can go read something thought provoking tomorrow.

Maybe.
