To celebrate a new year with a new blog (and to make things much easier for myself) I am moving my Good Reads blog to Blogger where our family blog is located. Please come visit at the new site here.
Today’s prompt from Sunday Scribblings is "Extreme."

I’m sure an acrostic is not extremely creative, but it was fun!
The Last Thing I Remember by Andrew Klavan was one of those books I picked up at my mom’s house. It was not the kind of book I would have picked, but I needed things to read, and there it was. I was caught up in the plot quickly. The writing was not very well done, but it was attention grabbing. Charlie West, a 17 year old high school student, went to sleep in his own bed one night and woke up strapped to a table in a torture chamber. The story was fast-paced and suspenseful. But the ending, which was definitely a cliff-hanger, ruined the story for me. This was the first book of a series, and I probably won’t be looking for the others.
White Chocolate Moments was a book I picked out. I have read books by Lori Wick before, but it has been quite a while, and I really couldn’t remember them. I was so unimpressed by White Chocolate Moments that I didn’t fully finish it! I hate to leave a book unfinished. I decided just to skim it. I thought it was not well-written. The characters were very flat. The plot was very predictable. The best things about the book was the title. who can resist white chocolate?
My 2009 reading list seemed a little sparse- probably due to the number of times I read Twilight. Let’s see how my 2010 reading list shapes up.
The Shivering Sands- Victoria Holt
The Last Thing I Remember- Andrew Klavan
Prairie Rose- Catherine Palmer
White Chocolate Moments- Lori Wick- I have to confess that I skimmed this one.
In addition to reading, I like to write every so often. I don’t fancy myself a great writer or even a good one. But, I have always enjoyed writing my thoughts down. I guess that is why I have two blogs! So, I am going to attempt to participate this year in Sunday Scribblings, writing prompts each week for fellow bloggers.
This week’s writing prompt is "New Leaf."
A new year, new week, new day,
New thoughts, new ideas, new beliefs,
New goals, new plans, new schedules,
New friends, new acquaintances, new relationships.
What remains the same?
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Because of Him, I can always turn over a new leaf.
