Life Pegs

I think of life as needing pegs.  Pegs are habits or disciplines.  They have to be in place to string the rest of life across them.  Life strings can be beautiful or messy and sometimes both.  But you have to have the pegs in place, or you'll just be a tangled clump on the floor.  A few years ago I wrote out a list of pegs I needed to instill in my life.  I'm still working on most of them.  Hoping this blog keeps me more motivated. 

Pegs I desire:
Time in the Word with God
Prayer time
Household chores - dishes, laundry, clean bathroom ect.
Exercise
Healthy eating

There's a lot more, but I want to keep it small at first.

A lot has happened in the last 2 years.  No kidding!  It's been 2 years!  I'm a horrible blogger.  I'm just doing this (blogging) for my own benefit, and since no one really cares I'm going to completely change my blog.  It's no longer a book blog.  It's a Tiffany blog.  I'm just going to blog about whatever I care about that day.  This is gonna be fun.

Lapse of time

It's been a really long time since I've posted anything.  I started becoming obsessed with reading, unable to balance other important thing, and decided to take a break.  I'm going to give it another go now that I'm working full time.  Right now I'm reading the 5th book in the Mortal Instruments series.  Will post a review when I've finished it.

Cry Wolf (Alpha & Omega #1) by Patricia Briggs - audio book

I listened to Cry Wolf on audio book. Definitely not the same as reading a book, but I get a lot much cleaning and exercising done listening to a book than reading one.  I thoroughly enjoyed this werewolf book by Patricia Briggs.  I can't analyze the writing style as well since I only listened to it.  But I greatly enjoyed the story line and character development.  Quite an enjoyable book throughout much cleaning and many walks.

Boundless by Cynthia Hand

This third book by Cynthia Hand kept my interest.  Largely the same as the other two books I read.  Overall I loved it, but wished for more information on Christian Prescott in the end.  Perhaps another book is coming his way.  Satisfactory ending to Clara Gardner's story.

Uglies by Scott Westerfield

The world in this book by Scott Westerfield is quite believable for me.  The idea that eventually everyone undergoes extensive plastic surgery doesn't seem too wild to conceive. I really enjoyed this idea behind the book, but the actual writing of the story really turned me off. This book unlike most of these types of books coming out was not written in first person.  Which was not necessarily a bad decision, but I truly believe it was executed poorly.  I love to get lost in a book when I'm reading it.  This book I would start to get lost in it, then I'd be throw out by the awkward wording in some placing.  The problem was that so much of the book was from Tally's perspective that when I read Tally did this or that, I would just get confused.  I still plan on getting the second book in this series, but overall I was not impressed by this book. Hopefully as I get more accustomed to Scott Westerfield's writing style, I'll be able to dive into his stories completely.

Hallowed by Cynthia Hand

This second book by Cynthia Hand kept my interest.  The main thing I didn't like about it was that I figured out who was going to die long before the main character put it all together.  I enjoy it when a book surprises me; Hallowed did not meet that desire.  However, I still gobbled up this book, because I really enjoy Cynthia Hand's style of writing.  I can't wait to dive into Boundless, the third book in this series.
