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 […]

After my disappointment in learning that I would be out of town during Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-A-Thon (October 22) I was fortunate enough to find the Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-Thon a weekend long event. The Read-a-Thon runs through the weekend of October 21 – 23 and is hosted by Bex @ Kindle Fever, Amanda @ Letters […]
Jonas lives in a world of Sameness. There is nothing to differentiate one person by the other, everything is seen in black and white with each year relinquishing a little of the individuality you possessed, following like a group of Lemmings. At your 12th year, you are given your assignment, and begin your training to […]
I can say one positive thing for French Lessons, it was a fast read, but that’s about all. The back cover proclaimed it as a “page-turner” I do agree with that but not for the same reason, which to be rid of the horrid story! I knew it was a romance but was expecting a […]
