Hey, it's Thursday!

Well, this week may not be about the word count or the revision pages, but it's turning out to be pretty busy anyway. I've had a certain thing I've wanted to get done each day, and so far have been able to cross each one off as I go. It's a great feeling. And today was…

One step ahead

As you can see, my TBReviewed pile is getting smaller. But don't let this picture fool you, because I received another four books last week. lol. Looks like I'll be taking a new photo this week. You know, I was telling hubby the other day that summer was leaving us, that I could f…

OMGosh...

...I don't have any links to any guest spots today. It almost feels strange. Anyway, today I spent most of the day listening to This Is War because, you know, I felt like it. :) I've been working on so much revision lately that I haven't had a chance to listen to anything…

HORNS by Joe Hill

Ignatius Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke up the next morning with one hell of a hangover, a raging headache...and a pair of horns growing from his temples. Once, Ig lived the life of the blessed: born into privilege, the second son of a renowned American m…

I think I missed a day...

Yep. I did. :/ To make up for it, I'm posting a very posh pic of my kitty, Loki. I forgot to mention that he turned 3 last month. He's still a young man. lol. Which reminds me, yesterday I was interviewed by Meankitty . So, if you'd like to read it, you can here . There&…

Let's hope the whole week's this exciting...

As you can see, I've updated my TBReviewed pic. That's because I'm making some good reading progress. Yesterday I finished reading NIGHTFALL by Stephen Leather , which was outstanding. I love, love, loved it. Seriously. I can't say it enough. This afternoon I started re…

The heat is on

Let me start by saying that Day 4 of my Novelspot Behind the Scenes feature is now posted . Wow. I'm only three days away from finishing up the week. But today I actually finished writing all of it. The next three days are ready to post. Well, the next two are. I need to revise the…

Midweek thoughts

Wednesday is here already. Yikes! I say it every week, but where's the time go? Hubby's at work, daughter's back at school, and I've decided to squeeze in a quick blog entry before getting stuck into things. Today my interview has been posted at the BookWenches . I h…

Hello, new week!

Hachette review pile . Except, I hadn't marked anything on it. Now, I have. :) I thought it would be cool to post it every Monday until I've read every single one of the books on the pile. It's a way to keep tabs on it, as well as motivation to keep going. As you can see, I…

Thoughts about my current stay in Revision Land

As I mentioned on Monday, I've been working on the second draft of my NaNo novel. I started out pretty well, doing more than my daily goal, but then yesterday... I started to fall behind. I think the backend of the novel needs a little more work than the first half did. It's n…

Hello!

Reading & Revising

Hachette books that I have on my to-be-reviewed pile. Of course, I've already read (and loved!) THE DIGITAL PLAGUE and THE RUNAWAY . And at the moment I'm reading WAKE . Really enjoying it so far. There are some awesome books there. I can't wait to get my hands on them. Must…
