Book Guilt

I have a confession to make:  I started a book several weeks ago and I have not finished it.  There, I said it.  But I still feel terrible.  I started it the night I was waiting for Jason to get home from training in California.

The book is called Dead People.  It isn't a bad book.  But it isn't great either.  I just can't seem to get attached to the characters.  I find my mind wondering while I read it.  But unless a book is just down right painfully suckish, I always finish. There are only 3 books I have never finished.

So here is the problem: Lover Unleashed, the next installment of Black Dagger Brotherhood comes out on the 29th.  I want to re-read the whole series before I get the new one.  But I can't start BDB until I finish Dead People cause, you know, I have book guilt.  Sounds stupid I know, but it's a little hang up of mine (yeah yeah I know I have lots of "little hang ups" but I have slight OCD so just deal!).

So last night I pulled out my nook and decided to get serious about finishing this book. Which is really hard to do since I have Zsadist and Vishous and Brotherhood awesomeness on the brain.  I open my nook and go to "reading now" and ...........nothing. What?!  It's completely frozen.  I fully charged it so I know that isn't the problem.  I restarted it.......nothing. NOOOOOOOO!  I restart it again.  This time my book comes up but it is frozen on a page, can't turn pages, black screen where the touch screen should be!  NOOOO!  Now I am in full on panic mode!  Not my nook!  Anything but my nook!  As I frantically try to figure out what is wrong, I am already running numbers in my head, trying to figure out what I can give up to afford to buy another one.  This is so not what my bank account needs right now.

Finally I got it working.  My heart rate is back to normal and after that scare, I will finish Dead People. Apparently, as my friend informed me, I really am a total spaz!
