Getting Twiggy With It

Yesterday I caved and went to Borders after work. Damn you book bloggers/twitterers for getting me hooked on two new-to-me series with huge back lists *shaking fist at you* and no libraries in the DC area carry paranormal romance apparently. Harumph. So. There I was at the bookstore, walking in with a smile on my [...]

When Our Powers Combine

Back when hubby and I were dating we would talk about where our relationship was headed in the future by saying “when our powers combine…” We both felt that so many aspects of our lives and our relationship would only improve once we were totally and irrevocably combined. We were right. This weekend we celebrated [...]

Guest Dare Post

Morning y’all! Today I am blogging over at the puppetmasters who pull my book buying strings – The Book Smugglers! When they dared me to read a comic book of all things I don’t think they envisioned me talking about kama sutra, where’s waldo, and making new friends on the metro…at the very least we’ll [...]

Could I wear these if I wasn’t Tardy for the Party?

I watched Episode 8 from this season’s Real House Wives of Atlanta this weekend and admired Kim’s dress choice. Yes you read that right, the nut job with a blonde wig. I loved her pastel pink, flowing, floor length, billowing, tight ruched bodice with black ribbon details, boobs pushed up-and-out dress. Don’t get me wrong [...]

I should really just give my credit card to The Book Smugglers

The book loving blogosphere is celebrating Book Blogger Apperciation Week (BBAW) through awards, blog topics, memes and interviews. Today’s blog discussion asks us to name a book you read only because another blogger recommended it. Oddly enough I already had most of this post typed up in an email to two of my favorite bloggers anways. [...]

Book Tower: nice looking yet distressing

  Today dmbosstone thought of moi upon seeing this “arrangement” of books…      My first response was, “Oooooh pretty, precious books! *gazing in wonder* Sooo many of them. Want. Them. All! *slobber/drool* Must touch, must hold, must have!” Then I envisioned my trembling-in-awe fingers reaching out, unable to stop myself before the Book Jenga of all [...]

A Feast For Your Eyes

There has been a dearth of curvy leading ladies in my reading choices of late. They are thin, willowy, slender, trim, petite, etc. Sometimes they are described as such in a negative way, like “she hated being thin, she was awkward and gangly, she looked like a boy, men dismissed her upon a glance,” but STILL I haven’t [...]

August Reading List

I wanted to get this post up yesterday, but as I was explaining to mylittlebecky on twitter, we only have the one computadora at home and hubby HOGS IT. When he sees me in my google reader taking avid notes on book rec’s from KB, Ana and Thea etc…, or giggling over lilu’s latest he’s all, “Look [...]

Movin on up

I haven’t read one book this week. SAD FACE to the max :( Our closing on the new house was delayed due to paperwork problems, we found a leak our first day after moving in, the shower heads don’t work, and the closet is too shallow to fit a hanger. So I’ve been a little [...]
