Okay,
so now we’re in 2012. A brand new year for new
drama, killings, issues, divorces, sexual abuse, and
the list goes on and on. I find myself hoping that this
year will be better than last year. I always tell myself
that I will do the things that I didn’t do in
2011. My health will be in remission, and I will do
some traveling. Again, I don’t plan on making
new years resolutions because I can never fulfill them.
I just hope and pray that I will be able to accomplish
my goals and dreams in 2012. Right now, I am so thrilled
to be alive, and my family, friends, and co-workers
are alive and well too.
Of
course the financial, health, relationships, unemployment,
and evil issues are still bordering on our sanity, but
we will handle them the same way we handled them in
2011. But this year is going to be better for readers,
and books. This is the age for the nook, ipad, kindle
fire, tablets, and kobo readers, and the list goes on.
Therefore, people will be doing a lot more reading,
and the books of romance will be added to their e-reader
device. There were a lot of electronics given for Christmas
gifts last year, mostly iPod's, but there were a lot
of e-readers and tablets also under the Christmas tree.
So
I believe the world will move toward reading and spending
more time with books instead of watching reality shows,
and the nonsense that’s parading the television
these days. Things have changed so much for television
with the dismissal of All My Children and now One Life
to live this month. I grew up with these shows, so it’s
sad to see them being dismissed probably because of
too many reality shows. Television is not like it used
to be, believe me. It’s time for us to turn the
button on television off, and turn on those Kindle
and Nook,
and start reading our magazines and our books of mystery
and romance.
I spent a lot of time on my holiday vacation catching
up on my reading, and I have read some fantastic books
including:
• Taste
of Desire by Kayla Perrin
• Fractured
by Wendy Byrne
• Everything
in Between by Crystal Hubbard
• Winter
Kisses by A.C. Arthur
• A
Compromising Affair by Gwynne Foster
I
can go on and on, but I was thrilled that I got to spend
my time doing what I love best, and that is reading,
reading, and reading romance, which is my passion. I
have to admit that I read other books too like James
Patterson, and Jackie Collins; but there’s nothing
like a man and woman meeting across the room, and finding
love in all the right places. The two main characters
fighting their innermost demons and then finding true
love against all odds.
So
let’s begin 2012 in a positive light because the
violence and the evil will continue as it did last year.
If we can escape for a moment, let’s dive into
a book of romance and feel the joy and passion that
we can in this horrific world. This is only the beginning
of a new year with many surprises and tragedies, which
we can’t control or understand.
Take
a ride with me and romance, and enjoy the ride. It’s
a great way to start off 2012. Why not? |
