Can you believe January is half over? I can’t! I swear, I need 24 more hours in each day. But I did complete the TBR challenge for January and we have a few more participants who also met the challenge. Including Suisan who hated just about every moment. I tried to tell her the point [...]
Title: Code Name: Princess Author: Christina Skye Year published: 2004 Why did you get this book?I’ve always enjoyed Christina Skye, both as a historical and a contemporary writer. Although I do wish she’d return to Draycott Abbey and do a few more books there! Do you like the cover? It’s just okay, nothing special. Did [...]
I did something different this weekend. I joined my local Y. I have said that my resolution for the year is to look good in a bikini. I never make resolutions, mostly because I know I’m not likely to keep them. But this is a goal I wanted to stick to. I know I should [...]
Yesterday I got an IM from a friend, regarding the Preditors & Editors poll. She wondered if I’d ever heard of a book called Laser Kill by Robert N. Lee. As it happened, I hadn’t. She had just voted in the poll, for her favorite book, and saw that Laser Kill was number one in [...]
Shamelessly swiped from Alyssa’s blog (I steal from her alot, huh?) because it made me laugh out loud. You will perish of fits. Repeat this to yourself: “Things can work out even if I don’t get my way. Things can work out even….” What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die? brought to you by [...]
That a column on reviews would spawn so many comments. Although, I must say it’s gratifying to have my last RTB column be one that generates so much discussion and so many spin-off blogs (links to be posted at the bottom of this post). Whoo! And yes, that’s my not-so-subtle way of saying I resigned [...]
I have a post up on RTB today, A Question of Credibility, discussing the credibility of reviews on not only review sites but also on Amazon. Ironically, I was working on this post before Keishon discovered her review had been removed (and subsequently reinstated) on Amazon. Since the column was nearly done, I used her [...]
And just when I’m ready to settle in for a good sulk, optimism has a way of reasserting itself. Dang it, don’t you hate it when that happens? It’s like when I was little and soooo mad at my dad and he’d say “don’t smile…oh, I think I see the corners of your mouth turning [...]
That’s all. Just really cranky. I think a big portion of it has to do with not enough sleep and feeling tired (now I know how Brianna feels sometimes, eh?) and I am irritated easily this evening. I’m feeling tired and frustrated and depressed about the turn some things took and just…blah. I could point [...]
