I got SO MANY hours at work and it was awesome. On top of that, it was blissfully quiet where I was staying.
One of my besties, Faith moved into a new house in Mattawan. It's really cute and has this gorgeous living room and the whole place just has a lot of charm.
I'm still voting on them getting a pony. And a goat. And ... probably some chickens since there's a barn.
I finished that book 'Openly Straight' by Bill Konigsberg and am now on 'Rush' by Maya Banks, 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman, and 'Wolfsbane' by Andrea Cremer. Oh I know that I have a full plate ahead of me. I'm trying to create a small pile to put by the bed of ALL the books I have yet to read. There are some that I found from a LONG time ago that I just kinda forgot about. Whooops!
Why? Why? Why? Bibliophilia is both a blessing and a curse!
On another note, I'm sitting at the tea shop. Guess what?? POLLY MADE A NEW TEALATTE!!!!
It's called Pirate's Treasure! It's made from my fave tea, Glitter and Gold and has the vanilla syrup and a butter rum syrup, all steamed with nonfat milk. I'm. So. Happy.
I love tea.
I might have mentioned that before.
Especially on a day like this. For those NOT in Portage, Michigan ... the last several days have been nothing but cold, dreary rain. We got some relief on Saturday with some sunshine, but then it returned to the rain. So with nothing else to do, I grabbed my books and just started reading.
I have been looking forward to reading these for a while.
This book ------------->
I read book one, Nightshade, a WHILE ago and I remember getting SOOO mad at it because I wanted Calla (the main character) to come to her senses and return to Ren.
And when she didn't ... the love triangle continued and I put THIS book, Wolfsbane at the bottom of the pile. I finally decided to buck up and just read book two. So wish me luck that I don't get mad and throw THIS one against the wall.
I'm hoping for a nice week. After all, it's only Monday. I get a few days on the book floor this week, which only makes me smile more. :D You're just going to have to bear with me while I sort through all my books. And of course ... keep you suggestions coming.
I'll get to each of yours. In time.
In other news, I STILL have no word from that job in Alaska. But I'm still praying and hoping that something will come of that. I'd be an amazing copy editor for them. I'm sure of it. So please ... keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I continue to reach out to them about the position for the Anchorage Daily News.
Meanwhile, I suppose I shall continue working really hard this week and making myself look awesome on the book floor. For tomorrow. YES!
And I think I'm rambling.
Shall we move on? I think so.
I just wanted to mention ... again ... that Halloween is right around the corner and there are SO many more decorations hanging up on houses and in front yards. This year must be the graveyard theme. I've seen a TON on Romence road alone. And one looks like they put up this creepy gate to make it look like they're driving up into the cemetery. I wish I'd snagged a picture of it.
What do you guys like decorating with? Do you do themes? Or do you just kind of wing it?
This just looked kinda cool. I love the tombstone that says 'You're Next!' Hahahaha!
Sometimes, my mom will go all out for Halloween but this year, it's been a bit more difficult. Everyone has been super busy. So this year we have a really nice set of pumpkins on the front porch and these really Autumn-y colored mums. Our house never gets Trick or Treaters anyway, so we don't HAVE to go all out. That makes it nice.
Feel free to leave me any comments or questions! I love them and am happy to talk with any readers.
*winks* You know where you can find me. Just look at the back tables of Chocola-Tea and I'll be there, typing away.
I will see you all on Wednesday for the Writers Workshop. And I promise not to stand on my soapbox too long. I just get passionate about writing, books, and authors.
Be Open, Be Loving, Be Yourself,
Taryn
