Month: May 2012

This week, I’m reading a new book I got at a used book store, so I guess it’s one of those “new to me” books, actually. It’s titled Sizzle and Burn, and the author is Jayne Ann Krentz. It’s great to pick up something at the used book store for only 50 cents and have something new to read. Even if I don’t like the book I don’t have all that much money invested in it and I can trade it back in for another one.

From the jacket cover and the information about the author, apparently she writes under other names also. Amanda Quick and Jayne Castle. She has written more than 50 New York Times bestsellers, everything from contemporary romantic suspense novels to futuristic and historical romance novels.

I’m not much into romance novels, but so far even though I’m only on page 106, this book is indeed a page turner. I’ll save the recommendation if I have one, until I finish, but for now…this seems to be well written and also very interesting.

First thing in the morning is coffee. I’m totally dependent on coffee to wake up and get myself in gear.

This morning I woke up early as usual, but wasn’t quite “with it” when I went into the kitchen to make my morning cup of coffee. I had forgotten to empty the coffee filter since I was in a hurry yesterday, and when I grabbed the basket out of the coffee maker, coffee grounds flew all over my kitchen. What a mess. If anyone has ever tried to clean up wet coffee grounds, they will tell you that it’s super hard to do. I should have just let them dry and swept them up.

Never again will I ever forget to empty the coffee filter basket before going to bed for the night.
