Ok, so it’s not that extravagant, but it’s a change! I’ve always been very intimidated by WordPress for some reason, but I like the look of it so much more and I really like the tabs at the top, so I decided to switch over here! Sorry for the inconvenience if it is one [...]

It’s all gone to shite! Anyone placed bets on my New Years resolution not even lasting a whole month? If you did, you won! To be honest, this is the longest a resolution has ever lasted I think, lol…sad, huh? A couple of days ago I thought I’d take “just a peek” over at bookcloseouts.com [...]

I’m exhausted from playing the tourist in my own city this weekend, but we had so much fun. I know Megan had a great time going to all of our favorite “New Orleans places” and we had a tad bit too much fun on Bourbon Street Saturday night which left us in bed for most [...]

This is just one of the most fun series I’ve read. Thanks to Carl, I discovered The Stainless Steel Rat last year and I have to say that I enjoyed the second book in the series even more.

I got this link in an email today and it angered me to no end! You can click here to read the article from Fox News. The same idiots who were protesting at soldiers’ funerals are now protesting at Heath Ledger’s memorial services because he played a gay man in Brokeback Mountain. And of course, [...]

I’ve been waiting patiently since early December to review this one, and now that there are only 2 more weeks until it’s released, I think it’s safe to release the review! Fans of Colleen’s first two books in the Gardella Vampire Chronicles will not be disappointed with The Bleeding Dusk…not at all! It hit me [...]

My first thought after finishing First Snow on Fuji is that I think I’d like to try one of Yasunari Kawabata’s novels. Like the other two books that I’ve read for the Japanese Reading Challenge, the language in this book was beautiful. Kawabata had a gift for capturing the fragility of human relationships and explores [...]

Gasp! I’m still alive…After a very exhausting five days of work, I’ve managed to get in 8 hours of sleep finally and I actually have a day off! I’m constantly talking about looking for a job and being out of work, but I do still have a job, it’s just not directly in my field, [...]

Just in case you can’t tell by the length of time it took me to read A Clash of Kings, this book is quite an epic! It’s the second book in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series and picks up where A Game of Thrones left off. I read A Game [...]
