Ugh.

I say that for two reasons:  

1. seriously, where did October go? Has it really been a month since my last post?! Geez.

2. The reason for this post...you know how sometimes you just really want to like something, but you can't get into it? Well, add "I'll Never Write my Memoirs" to the list including all audible books not narrated by Tina Fey, Mindy Kaling and Joe Morton, as well as "Americanah." I tried. Or as my beloved friend tells me #triedit. I gave myself a month. Well, guess I'll add it to my library in hopes that one day I'll revisit it. Maybe. Probably not. 

At at least the Royals won the World Series!  

February, it's only 3 weeks away!

It's never too soon to plan for the future right?  

I'm still not finished with January's "Fire Shut Up in My Bones," and my goal is to complete it this weekend, but I need to start thinking about what I will read next month.  

I'm one of those people who likes themes, so I'm basing my decision on February's theme.  The question is: Which theme should I choose?  Should I go with Black History Month, Love and Romance, or Feminism (I'll explain later)?

Black History Month Picks: 

• "A Chosen Exile" by Allyson Hobbs
• "Bad Feminist" by Roxane Gay 

Feminism.  I chose feminism because Feminism and February both begin with the letter f.  Does it work?  Yes.

• "Bad Feminist"
• "An Untamed State" by Roxane Gay

Oddly enough, I don't have any picks at all for the love and romance category.  This bothers me because I fancy myself a full-on romantic.  Perhaps one of my many readers (insert sarcasm here) has suggestions?  

Or should I save Feminism for March?  

Let the indecisiveness set in!!! Hey, at least I'm consistent.  

Happy reading!  

Begin.

So, here I am, sitting at my cubicle, crafting what could either be the best decision of my life or a waste of $120.  Only time will tell.  

My challenge between now and Thursday is to find a book that I want to read for January.  The issue with that though is that I'm the kind of person who can really get lost in a book store, physical or online, and/or library.  Instead of just picking one title, rocking with it, and moving on, I agonize over the decision, and before I know it, I've spent no less than 2 hours with nothing to show for it.  

Wish me luck!
