Crazy Book Numbers

Date October 28, 2008

Something everyone may not know about me is that I tend to be a little too organized with my files.  That kind of includes books, CDs, DVDs, comics, etc.  Anything collectible.  I have all of our books, cds, dvds, video games, and comic books (well, I’m still working on this) in a database.  Each category [...]

Lotsa Lovin’ Going On

Date October 4, 2008

Amber received an I Love Your Blog award and was sweet enough to nominate me as well! This means I get to spread the love and nominate seven blogs that I simply adore.
Here are the rules:

Add the logo of the award to your blog (I so swiped this version from Marta over at [...]

I’ve been tagged for Banned Books Week

Date October 2, 2008

Did you know that we’re getting towards the end of Banned Book Week?
I was just tagged by Alpha Heroes for this week’s Banned Books Meme.  It’s going to be interesting, because I don’t think I really read that many banned books. Not because they are banned, but because they are part of genres I don’t [...]

90 to 430

Date September 30, 2008

I was just going through some of my older posts while I was trying to come up with my Top 10 Books of 2008 and I saw where I finalized my TBR list.  Okay, so maybe I was a little premature on saying the list was finalized.  After all, as of September 21st, my list [...]

Calling All Book Junkies

Date September 28, 2008

One of the members in my paranormal group needs some help.  She’s looking for a book, but she can’t remember the title or the author.  She’s given a pretty good description of the plot, so maybe that might trigger someones memories?  Here’s what she said:
I remember little, but this is what I remember. A 17 [...]

Bloodfever by KM Moning

Date September 25, 2008

I just finished Bloodfever by Karen Marie Moning and it basically picks up pretty much right after Darkfever.  MacKayla is still searching to find out who she is and she’s given a few more hints with the surprise appearance from her father and another sidhe-seer.  She gets to learn a little more about Barrons and [...]

TBR Over Obsessive?

Date September 21, 2008

Okay, I have to ask everyone out there…what’s your TBR list like?  I added the fever novels by Karen Marie Moning and I just noticed the count on my list.  It’s a good thing I keep it in Excel, otherwise I would have never realized that there are 413 books on my list.  413 books!  [...]

Amazon Kindle

Date September 16, 2008

Okay, so I have to ask. Does anyone have a Kindle? My husband is literally foaming at the mouth wanting to get one of these. Me, personally, I’m not crazy about e-readers. I just read Dark Harvest by Lynda Hilburn as an e-book and I so didn’t get as much enjoyment [...]

Gotta Share the Love

Date September 15, 2008

It’s exciting…today is the first day of the Book Blogger Appreciation Week and Literary Escapism is participating. I have five different contests I’m running this week plus a couple of interviews (Karen Chance and Jayel Gibson) so I’m hoping to expand my reader base a little. On the flip side, I’m a blog [...]
