Some of you may be familiar with David Sedaris. He’s frequently heard on NPR’s This American Life and he’s written quite a few books of essays on life and culture. This is the second book of his that I’ve read (for the Seconds challenge nonetheless!) and I loved it!
Sedaris’ writing can be enjoyed by just [...]

The Age of Innocence and me really just aren’t getting along, so I’m afraid that I’m dumping it and passing it along to the friends of the library. This is the second time I’ve tried to read it and I couldn’t get past page 34. I know so many people love this book, it’s just [...]

The Saints and LSU both take home huge victories this weekend, which put a big smile on my face Now, if Manning takes home a victory for the Colts, I’ll be one extremely happy camper. But I know there’s something else that everyone else is interested in! The three book giveaways ended [...]

So it seems that the gods are telling me that it’s time to give back, time to keep karma balanced. I’ve won two books lately! The first was Marked by PC and Kristin Cast from Eva and the second was an ARC of Colleen Gleason’s new book (not due until February [...]

I’m very whiny right now because the NaNoWriMo site is so frickin’ slow! And now it’s just completely gone down. All I want to do is update my word count It’s amazing how much you actually strive for that word count by the way once you do this. It’s fun to see [...]

Day 2 of NaNoWriMo has come and gone for me. I think I’m putting away my typing fingers for the afternoon after reaching 4,071 words today. I’m happy with what I’ve got done so far, so I’m taking the rest of the night off. 16 pages: a prologue, chapter 1, and chapter 2 complete…all rough [...]
