  • Last week I mentioned one of my favorite Angela Hunt series, The Theyn Chronicles. I was catching up on reading Angela's blog, and she had an entry on 8/25/05 discussing the first book in the series, Afton of Margate Cas…

  • Hello all!! Well, I am back from Gatlinburg, people, and I had a fantastic time. This was the best vacation / time away I've had in ages and it was long overdue. Thanks for all the comments ya'll left while I was gone! …

  • Altoids Tangerine Sours are YUMMY!! Yeah. Just thought I'd share that. Random, I know, but I like to think I specialize in that.More to the point...leaving for Gatlinburg tomorrow! YAY! Vacation time, hallelujah! Si…

  • The biggest thing that I accomplished yesterday after work was spending $$ at Kohl's on new clothes (they have the best sales!!). Two great sweaters, some shirts...nah, I won't bore you with the list. LOL! That was prob…

  • I am trying to keep a promise I made on my other blog to listen to Sinatra's Capitol concept albums. So far I'm pretty much stuck on the ones FS recorded with Nelson Riddle. Thought I'd take a moment on this blog to wel…

  • I started my first-ever counted cross stitching project tonight (am I a glutton for punishment or what?)!! I find it to be a strangely addictive craft...it's a nice little Tuscan scene (only 5X7 so it's not too much of …

  • I really have nothing thrilling & exciting to blog about today. Yet I feel the need to post something. So since nothing specific is on my mind, I will pass along a book recommendation or two. Here ya go: Danger In t…

  • So my attempt to sell books back at Mega Used Books didn't have really great results. They took like 4 books. Really rather pathetic if you ask me. I have one or two other avenues to pursue before making a trip to the du…

  • My desk looks like a bomb's exploded on it...a dirty bomb...as in mounds of loose papers and faxes and confirmations and who knows what else. Argh! Took some books to Mega Used Books with Lori over lunch and we go back …

  • It's lunch time and I'm bored. Really bored. So I thought I'd do something that I hadn't done in a while - browse my favorite author websites and share any interesting bits of information I might find. So here you go:…

  • Here's the rundown on six new releases that I'm looking forward to including the back cover copy (most are releasing within the next month or so):Shadow Over Kiriath, Legends of the Guardian-King #3 by Karen Hancock: …

  • Since I've been going through my books this weekend, I thought I'd make a top ten list of my favorite series starters (for a top ten list of my favorite musicals, visit my other blog). So here you go...these are really i…

  • So I took today off from work to try to...well, let me rephrase that. The primary reason I took today off was because I wanted to enjoy a day away from work. The secondary reason was that I also wanted to try to, oh I do…

  • WOOHOO! Went to a really cool used bookstore at lunch today, Mega Used Books, and found an out of print Bodie Thoene fiction series...The Shiloh Legacy (In My Father's House, A Thousand Shall Fall, and Say To This Mounta…

  • So Bride & Prejudice has inspired me to revisit my favorite Jane Austen film adaptations. We'll start with the best (in my opinion, of course...this list is totally and completely biased I'm happy to admit, LOL!)...P…

  • If you like Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice, I highly recommend checking out the film Bride & Prejudice. It's a very inventive and highly enjoyable retelling of the classic Elizabeth Bennet - Mr. Darcy love s…

  • Forgot that I've been meaning to post two Harry Potter forum links here. Fidelius-Forum and Gimmaulde-Place I post as HermioneG on both forums. They are pretty fun & there's some good people who participate. Mor…

  • I am such a sap. I've been reading Vienna Prelude and I kid you not, that book makes me want to cry. It positively oozes history. It's amazing, phenomenal writing. (I was thinking about this last night, and there are thr…

  • Just have time for a quick note...finished reading The Frog Princess by E. D. Baker...very cute book that doesn't take a lot of concentration to finish (which is what I needed this weekend!). There are two sequels -- Dra…
