I have been sewing up a storm, reading a ton of books, and even had a friend come to the area and stay for two weeks. It has been a crazy June. I also turned '40'.... ::cough::

Books, Books, and More Books!

I have been having a Reading Fest the past few days!  Granted getting a $5.00 coupon plus 30% off at Borders helps a whole lot!!!  So for $17.00 I was able to nab three books

• Ecstasy by Jacquelyn Frank
  
• Veil of Midnight by Lara Adrian
  
• Any Given Doomsday by Lori Handeland
  

Granted that did not include the books I had already read before this date...

• At Graves End by Jeaniene Frost
• Zen and the Art of Vampires by Katie MacAlister
• Midnight's Daughter by Karen Chance
• Dark Magic by Cheyenne McCray
• Primal Needs by Susan Sizemore
• One Foot In the Grave by Jeaniene Frost (Reread)

And of course my audiobooks while I drive!

• Naked in Death by JD Robb
• Glory in Death by JD Robb
• From Dead to Worse by Charlaine Harris

Before this I was reading a few other books during my Christmas knitting frenzy, some of which were the Mona Lisa series by Sunny.  Mona Lisa Awakening, Blossoming, and Craving.  I also read another new author Lilith Saintcrow's series Working for the Devil, Dead Man Rising, The Devil's Right Hand, Saint City Sinners, and To Hell and Back.  Both have strong female leads and some complicated storylines which I really like.

Tomorrow I am heading to Tampa, FL with my hubby and sis.  Together we are going to meet Janet Evanovich at the Barnes and Noble and have a great time!  I can not wait.

Have an awesome evening.

City of Souls (Zodiac Series, Book 4) by Vicki Pettersson

~Wierdlings

Tuesday Releases - 12/02/08

Eating through two books in one evening is a bit tough, especially so when you do not get home until 8pm. Needless to say, once I started to read Zen and the Art of Vampires, I could not put it down. Pia, the mc (main character) was fun, witty, and down right charming! She had me laughing with all her inappropriate bursts of saying what she didn't mean to say. Kristoff and Alec, all I can say is wowsers and where is my Dark One now!!!

My main frustration though is not in the writing or the characters, but in the story! The other Dark Ones novels end finitely within their own respective books, this one though, seems to drag onto at least one more... gah.. I will pull my hair out if its more than that! I want to know the end of 'their' story and I want it now... not to wait until May to find out.

Granted I understand it in other series.. but at least you are told up front by the author's styles if that is where they are going to take you. While there is some cross visiting from other characters briefly from other books, this one is gonna make you wait. ::le sigh:: Is it May yet?!

Second of the 'Tales of an Urban Werewolf' series, it truly delivers a great time with Sophie Garou and all of her lost designer shoes, clothing, and unlimited supply of Lady Bic razors.

Sophie has been found in the Houston packs territory and while she has been there for years and years, now the pack knows she is there. Dealing with them is just one of the situations she finds herself dealing with not to mention an uber-hottie by the name of Mark, who just happens to be the president of her newest and biggest auditing account. His sweet smoky scent drives her nuts, but what about her BF Heath? What about Tom?! Her life and your nerves run a rollercoaster ride of adrenalin to see what is going to happen next!

I give them both a FIVE on my Sheep-A-Meter!!!

ACK! Time has flown!!!

So sorry for the lapse in writing. I have been camera-less for the past few weeks, because I can not find the cord to download pictures onto my computer. Worse, I have to have the hubby dl them, put them on a thumb drive and then load them... le sigh!

I did not want my posts to be pictureless.. so I waited and waited and waited and waited! Finally I said to myself, "To heck with this!" and as of tonight will start to post again. Filling in later with pictures of stuff which has already happened and stuff I want to do. ::grin::

Let's see... what has happened?

LETTERBOXING!!!

I have not started it persay.... but I did find the materials needed to make a stamp, purchased the carving tools and rubber medium, and also purchased some E6000 glue along with plain wooden blocks to glue the stamps to.

In this endeavor, I took the hubby to a local privately owned coffee shop here in Orlando which was supposed to sport a hidden letterbox, alas everywhere we looked we could not find the bugger! Not to say its not there, BUT we could not locate it. So I will have to go back again when I have our stamps made and really tear the place apart. ::hehe::

2008 BOOKLIST!

I need to enter the books read/listened to for the months of September and October. I really did not read much in October to tell the truth because I was horrible sick and nothing was coming out at all!!!! Granted that did not stop me from finding a few new authors... but really knitting was my focus!

KNITTING!!!

Gosh.... for the very first time... Christmas knitting has reared its ugly head in my stash, time, and pattern collecting. Three cowls down, one more on the needles... two bounce hats, one on the needles... I have some gorgeous yarn from YarnPirate, Duet Yarns, and some sweeeeet knitting bags from GoodtobeGirl! (Again... pics are a hassle because of the missing cord, but I hope to post them very soon!

Lastly for this blog! The newest pattern from MochiMochiland.com ..... ELVES!!! Anna is so awesome, she even created Christmas Gift Tags that can be downloaded and printed for holiday giving... and when I get paid next week her ELVES pattern shall be mine mine mine!

21. and still reading books! So many coming out on the 29th!

Woot for new series!!!

I just love to get involved in a series which already has a few books under its belt. I normally walk in at the beginning of a string of books and have to wait FOREVER for the installments, which I am sure happens to so many of us. But every once in a while I walk into a series which I have missed and am so stoked to find there are at least 3-4 to gobble up at once.... with perhaps a new one out soon.

Thus is the case with author Jennifer Rardin series featuring Jaz Parks. A totally new kick ass heroine who has a world of new and interesting vampires, magic, and techie-geeks. One thing I did differently when purchasing the first book, Once Bitten, Twice Shy. I only bought the one. I held off on the others just to make sure I did like it. Last year I decided to try a new author and bought the first five books of her series and couldn't get through the first one at all. Now I am stuck with the books.. le sigh. Orlando do not have any really good trade-in book stores around. ::eesh::

Anyway! ?I found them to be refreshing and attention grabbing. Ate this one down within three hours and even now am attempting NOT to go back to Borders (10:25 pm) to buy the second and third installments. The fourth book is due out in August! ::Wooot::

So go. Go now! And buy this series!

Happy 2008!!!

Dear Friends,

The happiest and best warm wishes to you and yours for this new year! May your needles be fruitful and your life exciting. Most of all happiness and health to you all!!!

In answer to this, I myself am undertaking a new and never before done diet for myself. I can't harp on others in my family for not taking care of themselves, when I myself need to do so too. Sooooo... as of Thursday, well it actually started before that, more like Christmas, I have purchased a good set of walking shoes, an Nike+ kit, a small new ipod nano to use with the Nike+ kit, some actual working out clothes and a bunch of food.

If you want to know what a Nike+ kit is.. go here.. http://nikeplus.nike.com/nikeplus/#tutorials and check it out. It is so awesome! You do not need their shoes, I bought a pouch from Marware via Amazon... http://www.marware.com/PRODUCTS is their main website.

Granted I am walking and not running, not yet or maybe not ever, but still, getting out of the house for a good 20 mins cardio is still less time then on my arse in front of the computer. ::hehe::

If you are Lime and Violet fans like me, you will know what Letterboxing is... well I hope to start to do that soon too as soon I as I design my stamp and get a plan together.

Finally, I have challenged myself to see how many books I can read for the year. Yes, most of them will be romance/paranormal ones, but then again I may surprise you. Currently next to my bed is 'You Living Longer'. Very interesting and chuck full of stuff I never knew.

Well I shall be writing more of my exercise and fitness routine as well as my knitting and reading goals for 2008.

Bless you all!

Ate my way through....

This week I have started to knitted a scarf for my youngest brother for Christmas. It is from the website of http://mochimochiland.com/. It is her Toliet Paper pattern, and if you knew my brother, who can be a POOP, you would get the ironic-ness of the gift!

Recent Reading has been fruitful this week... in reverse order...

1. Dancing with werewolves, by Carole Nelson Douglas
2. Midnight Alley, The Morganville Vampires Book 3, by Rachel Caine
3. Holy Smokes, by Katie MacAlister
4. Creation in Death, (25th book) by JD Robb aka Nora Roberts

Reread...

1. Naked in Death, (1st book) by JD Robb aka Nora Roberts
2. The Diamond Throne, by David Eddings
3. Night Embrace, A Dark-Hunter Novel, by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Not to mention, I have coughed up $25.00 to Library Thing so that I can have a lifetime membership and post more than 200+ books. I plan to add my knitting books next week sometime.

~Wierdlings

ZOMG!!!!!

Okies... so then I read voraciously as you can tell from the left.. my Librarything is full of all sorts of paranormal reading and there are some great great authors there.. anyway I am the sort that reads as soon as it comes out and then are left high and dry for a year until the next arrives.

Patricia Briggs is one such author.. her Mercy Thompson series has me hanging on every word and never lets me loose until the story is done. Thereby torturing me for another 11 months and 29 days until the next book is available.

I have her site marked and routinely go through my favorites once a week or so. Well the third book arrives in the stores in January and as I was crusing through I saw she was offering shirts similar to the ones that Mercy wears on the cover of the third book! I HAD TO HAVE ONE... well three actually... ::cough cough:: HEY! One is for my sister.. the other two are for me. So I placed the order right then and there.

A few weeks later I write and ask about the status, normally they notifiy you within a few days. I had fallen through the cracks accidently. They were in the process of reording and would have them sent out soon. I was corresponding to her husband, who was the nicest guy possible.

TODAY they arrived!!! Not only are they so very awesome, but she sent me a gift too! A signed copy of Bloodbound! The second in the series, she even autographed and personalized it for me! I am so very stoked!!! (pictures below)

So now I am even more anxious for it to come out and can not wait!

For A Few Demons More

I totally consumed that book yesterday! Picked it up from Borders and ate my way through it in about 4 hours. My hubby is a bit miffed because now he has to hear me lament until the next is published. ::le sigh::

It was too good though and I am going to have to reread it this weekend to see if I missed anything.

Next on my list? The last of the Red Hot Vampires by Katie MacAlister...

The Last of the Red Hot Vampires
Signet
April 3, 2007
ISBN 978-0451220851

Physicist Portia Harding's life is grounded in facts. There's nothing that can't be explained by logic and science...until she travels with her best friend to England and accidentally summons an ethereal virtue who bequeaths her gift of weather control to Portia.

Now Portia is walking around with a literal cloud over her head, and a heart stoppingly handsome maniac trying to kidnap her. But Theo North is no run-of-the-mill lunatic. He's a nephilim - the son of an angel - who needs Portia's help to change his fate. Problem is, Portia's down-to-earth attitude frustrates beings from both heavenly and hellish realms, and gets Theo turned into a vampire. But at least he has Portia to satisfy his newfound hungers...and possibly save his soul.
