I have been in a major reader’s funk, I’ve had trouble becoming interested in one single novel or holding my attention. For me this is very rare! To the point of being concerned. Unfortunately, The Hunchback of Notre Dame had to fall in the period. Several years ago I had a friend who had applied […]
Dracula is bone-chilling! My neck prickles just thinking about it. Turtlenecks are a new staple in my wardrobe. In short, its like taking a shower after watching Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. Dracula, by Bram Stoker is a horror romance of sorts as Count Dracula become obsessed with his victims which always happen to be girls and […]
Well that’s all folks! My library officially closed today, only to be reopened on October 26 at their new “unwalkable” location. Until this moment I thought there might have been a chance that they would change their mind, but that was only wishful thinking. The old library building is sold and will be used for […]
Well, I will start out by saying the weather was incredible all of last week and so I tried to spend as much time outside as I could, but that means I didn’t get as much reading done as I would have liked for the Frightful Fall Read-a-Thon hosted by Michelle at Castle Macabre. Read-a-Thon […]
Regency & Victorian Reads Challenge hosted by Royal Reviews The itch for joining challenges is starting to creep back and while I have promised myself to to be selective in 2012 I couldn’t resist this one. The objective/rules for this challenge are easy peasy, read books that are either set or written in the […]

This week, I’ve been participating in the Frightful Fall Read-a-Thon hosted by Michelle at Castle Macabre I have not gotten as much reading done as I would have liked because the weather has been so nice (70 degrees everyday this week). Obviously, I want to take advantage while I still can. Anyway, here is my […]
Flavia is one of the reasons why I have recently fallen in love with mysteries. She is like a cat, quick on her feet, mischievous and plays by her own rules. Although Flavia is most like a cat in her cleverness, she is smart with being precocious or an 11-year-old know it all, instead she […]
I’m participating in the Frightful Fall Read-a-Thon hosted by Michelle at Castle Macabre starting today through October 9th. I’m not sure how much reading I’ll get done, but the point is to have fun (and read at least one spooky book). Potential Reads: The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo Dracula by Bram Stoker […]
