Below you’ll find my various blog posts about books I've been reading. I don't keep up with this tag very well, so there's not much here.

Kindle
So year before last, the whole family went in together and got my grandma a Kindle. She reads a TON, and ends up with a giant stack of books she gives away or donates every month. So we all thought she’d really like a Kindle – we could set up wifi for her, and she could buy and read books…

OMG
Something today made me think of The Heavenly Horse from the Outermost West by Mary Stanton. I was OBSESSED with that book, and it’s sequel as a kid. I was digging around on deviantart today and there’s actually FANART. Not a lot, but it’s there. The 9 year old in me is overjoyed. I think I need to dig up…

All Clear
I finished reading Connie Willis’ “All Clear” last night. It was SO GOOD. Seriously I know people who have read the first book, Blackout, but nobody else has read All Clear yet so I have no one to talk about it with!! I wanted to send the author a message saying how much I enjoyed it but she doesn’t appear…

Tim Gunn quotes
These are quotes that stood out to me from Tim Gunn’s book “Gunn’s Golden Rules.” A lot of them really struck a chord with me so I wanted to share. “I reflect on manners, or the lack of them, each and everyday. There are times when I want to stop the world for a moment and ask certain people some…

sims 3, photos, reading, etc
I’ve been reading Tim Gunn’s “Gunn’s Golden Rules” this week, I got it for Christmas and it’s really good. I actually broke out the highlighter and have been highlighting parts I like, so I can post some of my fav quotes here when I’m done. In my office I’ve been planning on having a little collage of some of my…

Random geeky thoughts
So I still haven’t finished Season 4 of Doctor Who. We watched half of “Stolen Earth” last week and that’s the last we’ve seen. Between New Year’s and being sick we just haven’t felt up to it – that and I knowing there’s not much left makes me sad and makes me want to stretch it out LOL But I…

The Lightning Thief
As I posted before, last weekend we went to see The Lightning Thief. Ash loaned me her copy of the first book to read, and I finished it today. I would have ADORED this book as a kid. I would have totally been into it – probably would have been playing “Olympians” with my cousins after school and drawing Percy,…

So today we moved the office! The new office is grand, I have not one, but two desks of my own, and a brand new computer! When I got to work this morning, I was thinking we would be spending a few hours at the old office packing stuff up, but when I get there they already have everything packed…

when i read the pern novels
Dad fixed the light in my closet last night, so I can finally clean it out. With no light in there for AGES it’s gotten to be a royal mess. I got started on it last night but didn’t finish. As a result my room looks like a bomb hit it. I just recently finished reading all of Anne McCaffrey’s…

when i read the princess diaries
I really, really love Meg Cabot’s The Princess Diaries series. It’s not exactly my normal reading material, but the movie was a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, so I ended up buying the second book in the series while in Jackson last month. Well, if you go read the books now, make sure you read the FIRST one…
