Reading

Wow, I haven't posted in such a long time. I've been so busy with work, and a whole bunch of projects that are just taking over my life.
I've still been reading though, although this week I haven't met the required reading this wek :(. oh well. I'll catch up sometime soon.
A lot has happened in True Believer, Jeremy Marsh is still in Boone Creek, where the mayor continues to welcome Jeremy and do special things for him, like a town party, buying his food, giving the best hotel room, in hopes of making his town famous with the ghost legends in the cemetry. While Jeremy goes to the library everyday to get more research information about the town, the landscape, the history, anything that might be able to explain the ghostly lights that appear in the fog around midnight or so. It just so happens that the librarian, Lexie Darnell, who is granddaughter of the town's psychic,Doris - the one who wrote Jeremy the letter, who is the town's attractive bachelorette. She continues to spend time with Jeremy, teaching him about the town and taking him around to show him all he needs to know about the lights.
As he and Lexie become to be closer friends, the mayor invites him to a town party, in which Jeremy is given a key to the city, showing how important he is. Jeremy is uneasy about going to the party alone, and the mayor suggests that he take Lexie. As Jeremy asks Lexie to company him at the party, she tells him that there will be fog tonight - which means lights will be there!
After the party, Jeremy is on his way taking Lexie back home and asks her if she would like to join him in the night at the cemetery. Now most people, especially me, would say no to that. Lexie reluctantly agrees, and Jeremy waits for her to change in her house and they go on their way to the cemetery.
When they get to the cemetry, Jeremy looks around and notices there are no connections between the surrounding buildings and landscapes to the lights. He does notice however that the cemetery is at a low poing in the landscape, so when the fog rolls in, it will be thick. Lexie and Jeremy go on to set up all the things they need to get proof of the light, with three different camcorders, night vision goggles, tape recorders, flashlights, etc. Jeremy says that if he acts like he's a ghost hunter with all the electronic equiptment, people will respect his story more and know he is doing the correct and accurate research materials.
Right now in the book I am at the part where they have everything set up and are waiting for the lights to come. I'm really excited to read about how the lights look and how Jeremy reacts to it. I'm also excited to see what happens when Jeremy and Lexie spend the night together in the cemetery, and I hope they are meant for eachother (;
What can I say, I'm a hopeless romantic.
