2013 Challenges!
It’s that time again! Time for the 2013 Standalone Reading Challenge! I participated in this last year and, although I succeeded, I really didn’t get the full experience since I was too busy to really track things. So, this year I’m determined to not only read the books but also to track them every month! The Goal: Read 15 standalone books that are published between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013. ********** Next up I’ll be participating in the 2013 Audio Book Challenge! I was a part of this one this year too, but it took me a while…

Things I’m thankful for…
I wasn’t going to put up a post today, but I feel like it’s important to take a quick moment and list some things I’m thankful for this year! I think with all the food, friends, and craziness, we forget to step back and take a look at how many good things are in our lives. So without further ado… * My crazy, wonderful and totally supportive family. It doesn’t matter what happens between us, we are always an unbreakable unit. I don’t know where I’d be without them. * Brandon. My loving, and silly husband. He and I constantly…

A hug for all of you!
Hi all! This is me giving you a big hug, for a lot of reasons really, but mostly for being patient with me. I know things have slowed down a lot and, despite the ravenous pace at which I’m reading, reviews are behind. Thanks for believing in me! I’m working a week of 10 hour days, so needless to say I pretty much only sleep at the end of the day. I’ll work to catch up this weekend and get your more awesome reviews next week. In the meantime, don’t forget to check out the reviews this week AND enter…

Quick Update
Hi lovely readers! You may have noticed that I’ve been pretty scarce this week, so this is me letting you know that I’m not gone! Our wedding is a mere 3 months away (I know, I’m excited too!) and this just happens to be crunch time week. Registries had to be made, invitations addressed, millions of envelopes licked…bleh. Well anyway I’m still here, just a little busy. Don’t worry! Next week will go back to normal. That being said please make sure to stop by tomorrow and Friday! Tomorrow my review of Once by Anna Carey (follow up to Eve) will…
