Smart Chicks Kick It Tour

I am going. Tonight. To the Smart Chicks Kick It Tour.   If this text has not adequately conveyed the extreme excitement I am feeling, let me just say this…   I am extremely and totally excited beyond what is probably rational for an adult going to a Young Adult author signing to be.  But there you […]

I’m beginning to -really- love the library.

I’ve developed this obsession (go figure) with library books.  Before two weeks ago, it had been -years- since I was a regular patron at a local library.  There wasn’t a reason, really, other than I simply did not have time to read all that much. Oh, and my city (Gulfport, MS…boy do I miss it!) […]

Oh, Christopher Pike, how I love thee…

One of my favorite authors as a young one was Christopher Pike.  Every birthday, each Christmas, I’d beg for his books.  My grandmother, indulgent lady that she was, would deliver each and every time.  Some of my favorites were The Tachyon Web, Remember Me, The Immortal, & The Starlight Crystal. My absolute, 100%, favorite of […]

Bookstore Bonanza, or…Oops, I spent too much.

The husband and I decided to have date night/day looking for books. Our first stop was a local (somewhat local, anyway) bookstore, Hicklebee’s. We’d never been, and I was desperate to buy Firelight today, so we decided to go. Alas, there was no Firelight to be had upon their shelves.  We did not leave empty […]

I love the idea, so when I stopped over at Parajunkee.com (via the Blog Hop) and saw the Follow Friday post, I knew I had to […]

Book Blogger Hop – Sep 10-13, 2010

It’s that time again… This weekend’s question/topic is from Anne at My Head is Full of Books: Post a link to a favorite post or book review that you have written in the past three months. Well, I suppose I can handle that… My favorite post recently is my review of Don’t Cry by Beverly […]

Booking Through Thursday – #1

Decided to participate in the Booking Through Thursday meme.  These things are getting addicting!  Today’s question is: “You’ve just dropped your favorite, out-of-print book into a bathtub, ruining it completely … What do you do now?” Well first of all…why did I have my favorite, out-of-print book near the bathtub?  That’s kind of silly.  But, […]

Oh, Library, how I love thee…sort of.

I went to the library today after class to pick up Wondrous Strange by Lesley Livingston, because my nifty hold request thing emailed me and said “Hey, Ree! The book you requested is here, come pick it up!” Of course while I was there, I decided to use the computers there to check for a […]
