September Reading List

Happy September!!!

So I was looking at my bookshelf yesterday and it's freakin bursting at the seams.  Literally.  RAW is this month (Sept 19-21) and I've been trying to read as many authors as I can.  This means that I'm getting quite a few books from the library and reading a lot of ebooks.  This is great but is it getting any of the books off of my shelf? NO!  Has that stopped me from going to the book store and buying more books? NO!  I feel like I'm drowing...but damn what a way to go! lol

Don't forget you can always visit me at my blogger blog ahhhhhromance.

Rating System Snafoo

Ok - so I moved my little rating stars into a different folder in Photobucket because there was so much stuff in the original folder that it was getting harder and harder to find the little buggers.  Guess what happened?  That's right...all my blog ratings are FUBAR!!  Arg. 

So the end result is I will attempt to fix the problem if I have the time.  What an effin drag!

August Reading List

Hello there!

Well I had a fun filled end of July by heading up to San Francisco.  I had so much fun meeting my blogging friends!  I wish I could have stayed for the conference but it didn't work out this time.  Next year I will definitely be attending.  I blogged about my adventures here as well as posted some fun pictures.

August is due to bring some fun things as well.  My kids will be back in school again by the middle of the month...didn't they just get out? lol  I will also attend the wedding of my friend Andrew and I'm very much looking forward to that as well.

I started a new blog

Alright!  Enough people!  You ask, you ask, you ask and you drive me bonkers!!!  (not really, but it sounds good! )

I've been asked more than several times to start a blog that is not on myspace.  Well I've finally gone and done it.  My friends who've asked want me to review at least some of the books I've read.  Let me be the first one to say...I'm just not that good with words.  Sarcasm?  I've no problem with that.  That being said, just don't expect much.

Anyway you can find my new blog here: Ahhhhh Romance.  Enjoy.  Oh, and no snarky comments allowed! lol.  (Ok, maybe a few since I really do enjoy them.)

Have a great day!!

April Read List
Category: Life

"The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year."
-   Mark Twain

I think Mark Twain wasn't too far off on this one! lol

Happy April to all my friends,

Life has been pretty boring around this household the past month, but that's ok.  As I told a friend....I may not be doing anything too exciting but I'm doing what I love...spending time with my family, reading, spending time with my family, reading and the list goes on and on *snort*.

A friend of mine and I decided to go to Lora Leigh's RAW in September and I'm trying to make an effort to read at least one of the books by each author that is attending (which has usually turned into more than 1).  Some of the authors I've never read before but so far I haven't been disappointed - which is great!

I hope you all have a wonderful month!

Heir to the Shadows (The Black Jewels Trilogy book 2) by Anne Bishop  another one that goes way beyond 5 stars IMO.

Queen of the Darkness (The Black Jewels Trilogy book 3) by Anne Bishop  Unfreakin-believably good!   I will definitely be reading more of Ms. Bishop's books!
