So THIS Is A Weekend

I had completely forgot what the meaning of a weekend was. I have to say that I’m enjoying it though I don’t know what to do with myself really…I feel like I should be working still :/ I’m trying to finish The Folk of the Fringe by Orson Scott Card so that I can complete [...]

The Tides Are Turning (All For The Better)

Well it’s been a really long few days since I’ve posted. It feels like it was about a year ago since I’ve last posted here but in reality it’s been a little under a week. Amazing how time slows down when you’re not having fun. But that’s behind us now. Dad’s open heart surgery went [...]

The Book of Ballads by Charles Vess

The Book of Ballads is a book that I think should be in the collection of any lover of folklore, fairy tales, ballads, myths, legends, and fantasy. It’s one of the most well compiled collections I’ve seen in a long time and it’s presented in such an amazing format with a lovely introduction by Terri [...]

Random Ramblings and Weekly Geeks #4

Summer is definitely here in New Orleans…or almost here at least as we’re managing to climb over 90 and that wave of heat is radiating out of my car everytime I open the door…don’t you hate that? My favorite place to read is my back patio, even at night, but I can’t read there at [...]

The Dead and The Gone by Susan Beth Pfeffer

The Dead and The Gone is a companion novel to Susan Beth Pfeffer’s Life as We Knew It that gives a terrifying account of a young family in New York City as the moon strikes a little closer to home. Unlike Life as We Knew It, we jump almost right into the disastorous event with [...]

The Bone Doll’s Twin by Lynn Flewelling

Where do I even begin with this book? This one has been sitting on my TBR shelf for a little over a year now and it was one of those books that I was never really in a rush to get to. I felt sort of apathetic towards it. I hadn’t heard much about it, [...]

Stuff, Stuff, and More Stuff

First Stuff to take care of: I was tagged by Kim for this great meme that she came up with for blogging tips! I always love reading new blogging tips because I’m always looking for new ways to improve my blog. I don’t know that I have a whole lot to add and I don’t [...]

What I’m Thinking About Books Right Now…

First off, I’m sorry I haven’t been responding to individual comments like I usually do…things have been chaos here lately, but I’m going to try to get back on track to responding as of today!! I like to converse with everyone and I really miss it when I can’t
Time to go back to [...]

Riding The Waves

I got the jo-ob! I got the jo-ob! I’m now officially the new admissions counselor at a private psychiatric hospital down here in New Orleans. The very same place that I’ve been wanting to work at since I graduated. So good things really do come to those who wait. It only took a year… [...]
