Book Mail & Top Ten Bookish Gifts! Double Post Love!

Now that I'm out of school and have stopped Christmas shopping for the day, I wanted to do a little update, especially since I haven't finished the current book I'm reading, Wanderer. It's a book I got on Edelweiss as a Read Now title when I first signed up, and I thought maybe I should …

My Dream Panel – It’s My Party and I’ll Invite Who I Want To!

Sooo... So it's time for me to answer the big question: All true bookworms have their dream list of authors they’d love to meet, but what if you could plan your perfect panel of authors (or even characters) you’d love to hear speak at a conference?  Hmm. Great question. Who would I invite? Veronica Rossi …

November 1st: Let’s Do This!!

So the end of October came, along with Halloween, my least favorite holiday... What? How can I dislike Halloween, you ask? Well, I can't trick-or-treat because I'm too old, and when I dress up I usually have nowhere to go. This Halloween, I had my back upper left tooth removed; it SUCKED. So I'm happy …
