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 […]

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 […]
My library supports Overdrive allowing ereaders to checkout books and this week they just added Kindle! I was super excited to hear this as I have mention my library is moving and this option will help fill the void. The site actually reminds me a lot of Netflix as you can hold/save/checkout “books”.

Not to brag, but as quickly as I signed up for Carl’s R.I.P. VI Challenge is as quickly as I finished. Granted, I only signed up for R.I.P. the Second (read 2 books between September 1 – October 31) but still, I honestly wasn’t aware I could read that fast. My Scary Stories The Stranger […]
