R.I.P. VIII: Wrap Up

 

Hosted by Stainless Steel Dropping

This was my first time participating in the R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril VIII Challenge and boy...whew... I have really outdone myself.  Originally, I was planning on just reading two books.  The first one was Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake (audiobook) as well as The Wolf Gift by Anne Rice.  I was really focused on getting a few books read for my Dusty Bookshelf Challenge and I didn't think I would be ale to read more than those two since they were 400+ pages each.  AGH!  By the way, I have a chunky book fear.  

Here is my original post.

Dystopian Giveaway Hop 2013

Welcome to my first but not the first Dystopian Giveaway Hop! Thank you to host of this event My Shelf Confessions and I Am a Reader, Not a Writer for this great hop!

I just started reading Dystopian novels when I started blogging almost 2 years ago.  Honestly, I never really heard of the genre at all before that time.  Then a few book started popping up here and there.  Now I love them.  I haven't read that many but the ones I have read have been great.

For this giveaway I am going to make it easy.  Promise!

Happy Halloween 2013

Halloween Pocketbooks

I love Halloween!  For basically two reasons, one the dress up and the candy!  That sounds like a perfectly good reason to celebrate to me!  Hehehehe!   This year I am having a hard time settling on a costume.  I think I might be a witch like I always do but completely go over board with it this year.  This is still a maybe.  *thinking*

Last year I posted a few post about purses and Halloween.  And this year I am going to do the same.  As I was jumping around the world wide web I ran across a few over the top and hot mess pocketbooks that would make great additions to your costumes.  Conversation pieces in a whole new light.  LOL!  Bags that NO ONE will have!  EVER!

First.... from last year

Commenting Confessions

This post is basically, more or less a rant confession about my commenting on your blog (and others)

First, let me say that I have a job.  A full time, one hour commute to work and one and half hour commute home, along with a work out schedule, a weekly dance class and a national book club to run and this blog.  I'm kinda busy!  And well...I don't comment...well...enough.  Heck, I rarely read other blogs on a regular bases.  I have my blog roll that I hit but the other day I noticed on another blog there were over 15 links to other blog post from the week.  When I click on the links there was a comment from them on each and every single one.  And I can't remember the blog at all right now.  ARGH!!
