    A day of rest.

    This morning when I woke up I looked like this. So, since I refuse to be sick again so soon, I spent the day doing pretty much nothing. Yes I did some cleaning, spread out over multiple hours :). I also did some reading and video gaming. It was quite the relaxing day! Tomorrow my blogging resumes as normal. Plus yes, next week I’ll vlog again :). I know there are some of you out there that miss it when I don’t! Much love.

    In which, the zombies really do walk.

    Zombies. Those undead suckers just so happen to be some of my favorite fodder for television shows, movies and of course books! Why? Well when zombies attack our survival instincts take over. People are at their weakest, and yet at their strongest at the same time. Complete strangers bond together. Oh, and did I mention there’s a whole lot of target practice? Yes, I’m a little morbid sometimes. I admit it! Anyway I digress. Last weekend Long Beach had it’s yearly zombie walk and the BF went out to capture some of them on camera. It was truly surreal how…

    HOME!

    Yes, I’m home! Well, in a sense. I mean I’m in my place of residence but unfortunately I miss camp like crazy. I miss the people I spent time with this weekend. They inspire me, and without them I wouldn’t be able to live my life half as well as I do. OH  I realized I put up the wrong vlog! SORRY GUYS! I was really busy on Friday and flustered. I’m uploading the correct one as I write this, and it’ll be posted in a matter of minutes. Sorry :(. I hope you’ll still stop by soon to watch…

    Mental Sanity Weekend

    This is a quick note to let you all know that I’m off to the mountains for the weekend!  I won’t be posting tomorrow (unless trees suddenly develop wireless capabilities) however I DID record a vlog that I’ve scheduled to go up on Sunday! Yup, now you won’t miss me as much ;). There was a post that was supposed to fill this spot, but I know that the author has been ill and likely hasn’t had the time to answer my interview questions. As a person who just got better, I feel that. Therefore I will simply post it…

    Time to do some hopping and following!

    Today’s question is: When you read a book that you just can’t get into, do you stick it out and keep reading or move to your next title? I subscribe to the rule that if I’m not smitten with a book within 100 pages, I put it aside in favor of another book! Why? There are way too many books out there that I want to read to slog through a book that I’m really not feeling. Don’t judge me….I see that look. Of course there have been exceptions for me, especially with ARC tours. If I’m given a book for…

    Blog Tour: The Ice Cream Theory – Steff Deschenes’ Guest Post

    Today I am more than pleased to welcome Steff Deschenes, author of The Ice Cream Theory, to my blog!  Her book is pure cuteness at the surface, but it has an underlying hard truth to it I loved! You’ll get the full review tomorrow so stop back by! For now though, I’ll give the floor to Steff and let her carry you away with her amazing wit and love of ice cream. I created something called The Ice Cream Theory when I was a teenager which became an twelve-time award winning book in my twenties. It was my own unique…

    Nightshade Cover Recreation Contest

    The Book Vixen is hosting a cover recreation contest! This time it’s for one of my new absolute favorite books, Nightshade, by Andrea Cremer. So of course you know I had to participate right? Here is the original book cover: and here is mine! What do you think? Yes, I know Calla doesn’t have purple hair. I took some creative license with that! I wanted her to stand out in front of the two men that she is torn over.  I’m going to have to say that although it’s not perfect, this is my favorite cover that I’ve done so…
