And thus….
The reason that I haven’t done an IMM post in two weeks. I had a birthday. For said birthday I got gift cards, which are my favorite type of gift, and I went on a book clearance sale buying spree! It was really fun. Then, all those books showed up at my door in three boxes over a week span, and along the way I received prize books and swap books and books, Books, BOOKS! I suddenly realized….I had no idea where they were going to go! So, after a lot of cleaning, a lot of rearranging, here are my…

Book Review: Prophet of the Pentacle
“A powerful ancient evil returns with only one thing standing in its way…” In ancient times, a great battle was fought between a ruthless evil, named Lord Jarden and a powerful sphinx, named Berecynthia.

In which I plan my move to WordPress.
A very short while ago, I decided that I was ready to upgrade from my Blogger space here. I’ve had a blog here in Blogger for an extremely long time, even before I decided to book blog. In all that time I’ve always been missing something. No matter what I do, I just can’t seem to make this space exactly what I want it to be. Long story short? I’m ready to move it on up. So, I purchased my own domain name and my own web host space and I’ll be moving over to WordPress software at the end…

Book Review: Don’t Know Where, Don’t Know When
What a nightmare. Hannah Dias, California Girl with Attitude, and Alex, her laid-back brother, have moved from exciting San Francisco to boring Snipesville, Georgia.

They learn so much more than they could…

Guest Post – A.S. Laing
Today I’m fortunate enough to have the fabulous A.S. Laing stop by my blog for a guest post! She is the author of Don’t Know Where, Don’t Know When which I very recently had the opportunity to devour and enjoy. I tell you what, this was the most fun I’ve ever had while learning something. Annette’s way of writing is completely fantastic! However I’m posting a review tomorrow, so let’s get down to her fabulous guest post shall we? Let me get one thing straight: I hate the word “educational”. Hate it. It conjures up visions of flash cards, study guides,…
