an update

I know, I know. I haven't posted in a while. My bad.

Well, I have been busy reading. I finished Dead is the New Black by Harper Allen. This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed it. It is the last book in a series, but the first one I have read. It wasn't my ideal ending, but one I could live with - I like happy endings (ha-ha!) I plan to read the other two and will look for them on PBS website and the used bookstore.

I also finished Nina Bangs A Taste of Darkness - shapeshifters and vampires. My favorite combination! Sparkle Stardust is such a fun character and I was glad to see her back in this book.

And I have also recently read The Passion by Donna Boyd. I did not enjoy this one, it was a very dark book, moreso than any other book I have recently read.

Another Invitation to Murder: A Cardmaking Mystery by Elizabeth Bright was a very good book. One that was a different kind of read for me - a mystery. It was funny to read a book centered around a hobby - cardmaking. The character opens a cardmaking store down the street from her sister that has a scrapbooking store, and the storyline revolves around a murder mystery.

I have just been doing my regular things, nothing new and exciting. It has been very hot lately so I haven't done much of anything outside. LeeAnn finished up her online class - Science - with a "B". She is just anxiously waiting for school to start back up on Aug 20.

I will try and write again soon.

Hump day

I have made it to hump day, some weeks I really wonder if I will make it. My job isn't hard, I just want to do something else. That is why I am looking into going back for a Master's. I would like to work in a library or bookstore, that would be my ideal job. Something to do with books. Too bad I can't figure out how to get paid what I get paid now and stay home.
