Today...

I'm over at the Samhain Weblog talking about NaNoWriMo . Well, yesterday, I sent out my November/December Newsletter . That's right, it'll be the last one for this year. And while I'm at it, I've also decided that I'm going to change the format of how/when …

It's dark outside

Yep, looks like another overcast/rainy day. Which totally sucks when it's a weekday and I have to take my daughter to school, and then go for my walk in the puddles. Sucky, much? lol. I haven't minded the rain so much lately, but because of it yesterday afternoon I lost my…

Just thinkin'

You guys already know about my fascination with 30STM , right? But I'm not sure if you know that I have a very similar fascination with MCR . There's just something about these two bands that gets my creative juices totally flowing! It's awesome. So when I drop my daughte…

On an UF roll...

Well, as you can see below , I finished reading another awesome book yesterday. It capped off a weekend of awesome reading for me, so when I went over to my bookshelves (after adding the 2 Jane True and 2 Corine Solomon books to my UF keeper shelf) to pick the next book to read, I th…

Last week of October

Do you ever (actually) look at the rain? I do. It's something I've done since I was a kid. I have to admit that I've never been a fan of the rain. For starters, it makes my hair go curly. Not a nice curly, either. It also means that I have to carry an umbrella, which I rea…

WINTERGIRLS by Laurie Halse Anderson

Reading & Planning

Well, I'm having an awesome time reading TEMPEST RISING by Nicole Peeler . OM Gosh , it's so darn good! It's got all my fave UF ingredients in it. I'm absolutely loving it, and have just over 100 pages left to read. I'm hoping to finish it later today or tomorrow, b…

The Mind of the Restless

Yeah, that's been me for most of this week. I've been a little restless and unable to concentrate on the one thing. So I've been taking it easy, catching up on reviews, sorting my TBReviewed bookshelf, and making lists. Anyway. Yesterday,  Tim Marquitz posted an Author Spotl…

Y'know...

No matter how many times it happens, I'm still surprised when one day it can be warm and super sunny all day. Then the next, you wake up and it's raining. :/ That's exactly what happened this morning, lol. I have to admit that although I don't mind walking in the rain…

Good morning to ya, Monday!

Firstly, I just wanted to wish my daughter a HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY again. Sure, it was yesterday and I told her about a hundred times, but I just wanted it to be on my blog, too. She had an awesome day, and so did we. :) Well, here we are again. At the beginning of yet another week. Not…

Lots o' stuff on my mind...
