I realize it has been ages since I made a post on here and for that I apologize.  I got married over the summer and it was a lot of work to get everything put together in the timeframe I had.Anyhow, enough of that.  I'm back and hope to be posting more regularly, especially now that I am off the book buying ban!!!  To celebrate I splurged over at Bookcloseouts.ca and snapped up some books that

It has been 20 days since I put myself on a self-imposed book buying ban and dug out a stack of ten books to read.I have to admit that, now that I have the stack staring me in the face, I'm really not inclined to actually read the books I picked out.  I suppose it is the whole 'being forced' feel to it and I should just shelf them all and pull them out one at a time in random order so they don't

I've been watching videos on YouTube lately (and making my own as well) and one fellow that I watch put himself on a book buying ban.  I thought about it for a little while and then decided it was actually a good idea.So, I have put myself on a book buying ban for the summer.  I have over 50 books on my e-reader and a ton more on bookshelves and tables all over my house so it isn't like I am

So, out of the last library haul I posted I am only going to finish one book.  I took the others back because, to be honest, I just wasn't in the mood to read them.  I find that I get into these reading slumps after I've powered through a bunch of books.  Once I finish the last library book I have here, Soulless by Christopher Golden, I'll probably put the library on hold and concentrate on

If you click on the covers you'll be taken to the goodreads page for each book. I didn't take my own picture this time around simply because I'm feeling horribly lazy today.   This library haul starts with The Book of Joby by Mark J. Ferrari.  I put this one on hold because I read the summary on the library newsletter I get each week and it sounded like it would be an entertaining, funny read.

I love my local library, even though sometimes they never have what I want.  I adore being able to log into the system, find the books I'm after, putting them on hold and then just wandering over to pick them up when they arrive.  Sometimes I go in just to pick up my holds but then I end up roaming around and walk out with more than what I went in for.  Such was the case today.  I was only going

A bit ago I posted about my latest library haul where I ended up adding a few books to my already gigantic to be read pile.Out of the pile I've finished two and discovered that one of them I'd already read before.  I've never actually done that before; taken a book out of the library that I'd already read, but I blame myself for not writing down the actual titles of the books I was after.  I knew

Sometime back in February there was a twitter post on my feed that lead to YouTube and this video in particular where author Andrew Smith discusses books for boys, about boys, by boys.  I watched the entire thing and even watched a few of the response videos and then I sat down and wrote an email to Mr. Smith.  All I wanted to do was thank him for expressing and honest opinion about the apparent

My mom wanted to go to the library to look for some beginner Spanish tapes so we hopped into the van and off we went to the main branch since the one by the house doesn't have a lot in the way of audio media.Of course, this proved to be a rather large mistake since I had a big list of books to check for while I was there. Mom managed to find a decent Spanish CD and I came home with seven books

In the past couple of days I've stared at my bookshelf and couldn't decide what book I wanted to read next which is generally a good sign that my brain just isn't into reading anything 'heavy', so I went to the library and grabbed a couple of YA books to fill in the gap until I feel more up to tackling something like the new Tony Burgess book. Give up the Ghost by Megan Crewe is one that I

First time reading anything by Larry Brown and, despite the fact that I only found Fay to be OK, I'd be willing to try another book by him simply because his writing style is amazing.  Fay does read easily, but the situations and the main character just felt too much like a Lifetime movie and, no offense, but I really wasn't expecting that.The inside jacket information pretty much tells the

Just a quicky post to see if posting via email works or not. I realize I haven't updated in a while, but I'll get back to it asap.  I finished reading The Strain and I enjoyed it, however I totally forgot to write a review for it so... yeah.  Maybe I'll try and do one from memory or I'll wait until I've finished the trilogy (2011!) before posting a review on the series as a whole.

Title: Going Bovine Author: Libba Bray Publisher: Delacorte Press ISBN: 9780385733977 480 pgs Meet Cameron.  He's a sixteen year old high school student who's just getting by.  He doesn't try hard to succeed, he just sort of meanders his way through his life and that suits him just fine.  Then, one day, Cameron's body starts rebelling against him and the doctors give him dire news.  He's

Like the title says, it was a rather quiet weekend. Saturday was spent doing a lot of wandering around and window shopping at various stores. The Man is seriously contemplating a new television, which means we need to look at new television stands and a place for the guniea pig's cage to go. I've got no complaints in this department... a new television would rock. We spent some time at the

Title: Little Bee (also known as The Other Hand in some countries) Author: Chris Cleave Publisher: Doubleday Canada ISBN: 978-0-385-66530-8 266 pgs I picked up this book off one of my group's Potluck Book thread, which worked out well since I had it on my TBR list anyway. So, there is no typical blurb on this book to tell you what it is about.  Instead there is this: We don't want to tell you

Title: Pandemonium Author: Daryl Gregory Publisher: Del Ray ISBN: 978-0-345-50116-5 283 pages I'd classify this book as an alternate reality/science fiction mash up, to be honest. In a world like our own, demons have been possessing people since the 1950's and now people have just learned to accept it, wait it out and move on when the demon leaves. Del Pierce is one of these people.

Heh. I've been working on a single family in Sims 3 lately. The Jones family started out with Devon, single female who painted and gardened her way through life until she ended up pregnant by Stiles McGraw. She decided to keep the baby, but her relationship with Stiles never went anywhere... the two aren't even on speaking terms now.So, Devon raised Tiffany all on her own and, just recently,

I've been trying to potty train my son for a while now. He's been in pullups for a few months and hasn't made any progress so today we're switching tactics and stuffing him into regular underpants.We just had accident #1... should be interesting to see if this method works any faster than just leaving him in pullups to avoid the messes. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he'll hate the wet

Finally found a layout that I actually like for this blog. Got it working with very little difficulty, I must say.Still surrounded by piles of books that I absolutely must get read. Down to only one library book, which is awsome, though I did put another one on hold because I need it for a potluck read for Novel Ladies (one of the groups I belong to on Goodreads). My recommendation for April's

So. January may be almost over, but I figured I'd better start getting a few of my resolutions into gear.I've decided that blogger is going to be my platform of choice for the time being simply because it lets me play with flash widgets in my sidebars. LiveJournal and Wordpress don't seem to like to play nice with flash widgets :(.What you won't see here: deep, intellectual discussions about

I've updated my Goodreads widget to show the books I've read this year instead of last years, added my Twitter feed, and just did some behind the scenes adjustments.This will likely become my more used journaling device in the near future.Currently Reading: A Wolf at the Table - Augusten Burroughs

So ... Six Apart, the folks that created Moveable Type and all that fun stuff, has come up with a Facebook app that lets you post to all your blogs in one shot if you want to. Also includes the ability to update your daily status in Facebook, Twitter and Pounce if you use them as well.Nice to have a single place to post when I want to update all the blogs at once with the same news.(this post

I've been using Goodreads for a while now and it really has made it much easier for me to keep track of exactly what I'm reading in a given year. You'll notice the little widget on the sidebar there... that's my current list of books read for 2008 and it'll update as I add books to the shelf over at Goodreads.I'm not reading as much as I used to when I was younger, but I'm still managing my

Well, with LJ under new ownership that tends to make changes like a thief in the night, I thought it might be worth looking into new blogging options. I used to have a couple of blogger accounts waaaaay back in the day, but I can't remember the login info for them so I had to start over again.Things you might see here include random blathering, the occasional book or movie review (I am not a
