Here's my five:
Thoughts from others who have read it?
(I'd have no problem letting my son read it when he wants to. And I am totally the kind of person who avoids serial killer movies and stuff like that these days.)

2) So I'm the proud new owner of not only a new ice maker, but new springs and cables for my garage door opener. The ice maker was easy - did it myself. The garage door stuff - I didn't even try. I took one look at the snapped cable and broken spring and looked in the phone book (yes, the actually book version).
Some things I will do. Some things I won't.

So now I'm starting The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl by Barry Lyga. Anyone read it?

4) So I tried something for the first time on Tuesday. I'd been wrapping up revisions on a project, so I printed it out and headed to the public library. I got there when they opened, found a table, and read the entire thing. No computer. No laundry or dishes. No changing errors as I found them. I marked them and kept reading.
Really, it's amazing how much different my manuscript looked. I could see word repetitions, bad transitions, all sorts of stuff. And this is on something I had read just the day before on the computer! I bet I marked 500 different things.
Totally, totally try this!

5) Huge computer improvement today. I bought and installed Registry Mechanic and Spyware Doctor. My computer would start running so slowly I wanted to chunk my mouse through the monitor. But the sane part of me realized that wouldn't help, so I followed my mom's advice and bought the software. It's great.
(Sidenote - if I'd followed my dad's advice, I would have started using my Mac full time.)
How's everyone's reading for the year going, BTW????? I'm so enjoying it!
Hope you guys all have a great weekend!
