As I promised to tell you about the Trials experience, I am back with a (belated) update to interest you while I work like a madwoman to get some things together during NaNoWriMo. (No, I don't know who won the Trials yet... Results are due this week, if rumors are to be believed.) The purpose …
The Liebster Award??
I was tagged/given this award by the Sisters Three! Upon doing some research on this award, I found out the name comes from the German word "Lieb", or "love": this is a way of "showing the love" to other bloggers, which I thought was pretty neat! Thanks very much, and hope my answers are interesting, …
Ever feel the same?
What I did this weekNever seemed like enough.Always running behind,Though I didn't slack off. Tried to juggle the duties,Commitments, and breatheWhen one falls by the wayside,There's no end of grief. Don't misunderstand: Nobody's telling me I didn't doOr making a demandBut I'm drowning in a slew. It's my own standards I'm failing to meet.When did …

Book Review: The Winter King, by Christine Cohen
This book looked delightfully scary. (For those of you who know me, I'm a sucker for cover art, I'm a massive chicken, and one of my sisters likes scary things.) So I picked it up, under the impression it was a dark fantasy novel that might be something scary enough for her tastes, but something …
