Goodreads is a website were you can review books and discuss them with friends. You can build a collection of books that you've read, are currently reading, or want to read. It's easy to find other people who like similar books.
I just got a Barnes and Noble membership, so I'm looking for some good book recommendations that I can read during my lunch break. Something that I can carry into work without being embarrassed when the judge asks me what I'm reading. I know everyone hates the idea of signing up for another social website, but it is really a blast to comb though old books that you haven't thought about in years and tell everyone what you loved (or hated) about it.
Sign up and tell me what you like!

Magic Woes
Our life has been a pale shadow of what it once was since Becca left her magic cards at Shayne's house after the shin-dig. :( We hope to recover them next weekend.
Movin' On Up
To the North Side!!!
We have a tentative agreement to rent a duplex on the north side of Indianapolis. We are going to deliver the security deposit this Monday and will be getting the keys right away. Our lease won't actually start until August 1, but the landlord (who seems very cool) said that we could move in anytime we want, and he won't start charging us rent until the 1st.
This is a huge relief for Becca and I, as our lease here at the Lodge was running out at the end of July and we have already told them that we will not be renewing. Best of all we have almost 3 full weeks to move, so we don't have to hurry and move in a panicked rush.
The new place is just north of college and 465. We are only 1.1 miles from Ben's apartment (my little bro), so we expect to see him coming over to do laundry once or twice a week. We are also only about 1/2 mile from Becca's work. Becca is very excited to get bicycles as we will be within biking distance of
Other neat house stuff: Gas range (!!!), a BIG fridge, washer/dryer hookups, 2 bedrooms (i.e. 1 bedroom, 1 office), AT&T U-verse, and a yard! We are contemplating getting a doggy-dog.
BTW, if anyone has a couch in fair or better condition lying around we might like to make you an offer.
Work news: I'm getting a promotion starting the 21st. I've been doing the new job for a couple of weeks already, and I enjoy it. It's a bit more money and there is more variety in the stuff that I get to do. It's in the same office so I get work with the same people -- I've been consistently lucky in getting great co-workers in my work-life, and I'm glad that this job is no exception.
Sorry for the extraordinarily long break from blogging. I will be more productive (thanks for prodding me Megan! I need it once in a while!) If anyone would like my new address just shoot me an email and I will give you the co-ordinates.
