Can you believe it?

Can you believe that Heroes is almost over for the season? I’m dying to know what is going to happen next week. Any guesses? Well, I have a love/hate relationship with series television. When I find a show that I really get into (like General Hospital when I was a teenager) I can’t stand time [...]

Not Winning Nano

I’m very disappointed in myself. I’m not going to win nano this year. I have a million excuses but I just took on too much this month. I’m in countdown to graduating with my BA in English. I need to decide if I’m going for my Masters. I had a test in all five of [...]

Suggested Reading

As I posted recently, I’m out of books. None of the books on my buy list are available. It’s quite a predicament. I might have to actually accomplish some work around the house and/or get that head start on cooking dinner if I don’t get a few pieces of suggested reading. I love romance. I hate Regency. [...]

Nine Lives

      I’m officially out of books! Yes, that’s right. As of ten o’clock last night I’m out of fresh fiction in the house. Today is definitely a Borders kind of day. The last book in my stack was Sharon Sala’s Nine Lives.
