September Reading Schedule:
Print:
A Storm of Swords-George RR Martin  Good!
Revenge of the Wannabees-Lisi Harrison Great!  My only confusion was they acted more like HS girls than 7th graders!
The A-List-Zoey Dean  Very good, but disliked ending.  Why spend 3/4 of the book on one 24 hour period, then wrap everything up in the last chapter?  Hope this continues in the next book in the series, if I ever find it.
Everybody Needs To Forgive Somebody-Allen R. Hunt Good!  Spouse really needs to read this...
Prep-Curtis Sittenfeld  Was rather disappointed in the last chapter/ending.  Still, liked the fact that there is a brief description of everyone ten years later.


E-book:
Drive Me Crazy-Mysti Parker  Very enjoyable!  RR:)
Big Bad Wolf-Elle Doolittle  Enjoyable, but what drove me crazy was they would just begin to discuss their pasts when all of a sudden, they'd stop.  WTH???

Karaoke Songs:
Thurs:
Wide Open Spaces-Dixie Chicks Not too bad!
No One Is To Blame-Howard Jones Nailed it!
Wild One-Faith Hill Did well, even though I was out of breath half the time!
Wild Thing-The Troggs  Not too bad!
No Air-Jordin Sparks/Chris Brown  There were parts that I hit, and others that were waaay off!


Sat:
Promises In The Dark-Pat Benetar  Did well!
Proud Mary-CCR  Nailed it!
Puff The Magic Dragon-Peter, Paul and Mary Started off slightly too low, but not too bad!
Puppy Love-Paul Anka Bleh.  Waaaay too low.
Purple Rain-Prince  Goofed a few times, but overall, not too bad!
Push-Matchbox 20  Ugh....waaaay too low, though Kelly liked it!
Proud Mary-Tina Turner Not too bad!
Put A Little Love In Your Heart-Jackie DeShannon  Nailed it:)
Put Your Head On My Shoulder-Paul Anka Slightly low, but not too bad...
Perfect-Ed Sheerhan  Also low, but made it through....even though had to stop due to 911 call!  Did well on restart, and cracked up some people with my quip about having 911 called about my singing!
Que Sera Sera-Doris Day  Nailed it!
Queen of Hearts-Juice Newton Only flubbed two lines; my tongue got twisted!
Quit Playing Games w/My Heart-Back Street Boys  Did well:)
