kittiwake. . . were mostly book related.
I discovered the The![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
50bookchallenge community at the end of January and have used it to keep track of my reading this year. Reading reviews by other members has also meant that my Amazon wish list has dramatically increased in size. I'm currently reading "the Devil in the White City: Murder, Madness and Magic at the Fair That Changed America", having been lured by reviews by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
politzania amongst others.
Although I joined Book Crossing at the end of 2002, my interest has increased since I joined the BookCrossingUK Yahoo Group and started swapping books with the other members. Apart from book trading, the group's main interests appear to be doing quizzes, posting pictures of their pets, organising unofficial meet-ups and teasing the Americans on The Other List. All good fun.
Unfortunately the project I am currently working on at work is very demanding and has meant lots of working late and at weekends. As well as cutting down on cinema visits and trips to the gym, it has meant that I've missed the last eight Wednesday evening meditation and Buddhism sessions, mostly because I've been overtired from work and couldn't face anything except a bit of TV & the Internet when I finally got home.
I must make more of an effort in the New Year, as I really feel in need of addressing both my physical and spiritual sides. More about that in another post. I think I'll go and have a cup of coffee and finish writing my New Year Resolutions now as I'm getting back-ache from sitting at the computer for too long.
