I gave up on Merely Magic, at least for the time being. After the first 100 pages, the book just didn't hold my interest any more. I just didn't care about it. I really didn't care whether Drogo and Ninian ended up together or not. I may try it again on a future date, but I need to move on. Reading isn't fun if you have to force yourself to finish a book. There's too many good books out there.
Update:
I think I'm just not in the mood to read. I've picked up 5 books, read the first few paragraphs, and put them back right away. Instead, I think I'm going to kick back and watch a few hours of:
Nothing is guaranteed to get me out of my reading funk better than a few hours of Colin Firth, er.....Pride and Prejudice.

I spoke too soon. I went to bed last night and decided if I'm going to watch P&P, I want to watch the whole thing. So, I nixed that idea opened up another book ~ not hoping for much, but I figured I'd read for 1/2 hour and then go to sleep.
I was mistaken. The book I picked up was Mr. Perfect by Linda Howard. I could not put the book down. I think I finally turned off the light about 12:30 and that was only because I found myself getting foggy and I didn't want to miss one single word in the book. Can I just say I want Sam Donovan, the hero, for myself?!
Now, I just want to go home so I can finish it ~ only 7 hours and 45 minutes to go...... -

Zeek ~ Sarah's Child was the first LH I read. It was good but I didn't really get excited over it. This one ~ I just want to jump into the pages and become a part of the story. To be honest, I just want Sam. I am definitely twitterpated by that guy.
DC ~ What Zeek said. The A&E (BBC) version is the best. The movie that came out last year was just barely passable ~ they cut out a lot of the story and took liberties with the ending, which doesn't incline me to want to see it again. -

That's what I'm in the process of doing, that is, if I ever get around to finishing cleaning out my piles. I'm either going to half.com, paperback swap, UBS, or donate them to the library. They're just taking up room and collectect dust otherwise. Besides, somebody else might really like them.
I just recently finished the book (P&P) and I really loved it. I think I'll check out the movie sometime soon. And I can totally understand about not being in the mood to read. I was hoping to get some reading done myself this weekend but nope. LOL.
