HAPPY FRIDAY!

I'm terrible about posting much of anything lately because I've been caught up in the fun of a new romance. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
But I won't forget my F56. Hopefully I'll find some free time soon to post about all the wonderful books I've been reading and listening to!
This week's selection comes from The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan. Yes, these books are all sitting on my desk right now, that's why I keep posting from them.

Min sagged in amazement, letting herself lurch with the cart's slow motion. "You intend to run away, then come back in a few years and hand yourself over to Bryne?"

Welcome to all the new people who've been playing lately! I'm so happy to have you!

Well, I haven't been posting much lately because I am still making my way through The Wheel of Time. I am on book 4, The Shadow Rising so that's where this week's selection comes from.

This is Perrin speaking to Faile.

She raised her chin and shifted her shoulders, but she did not say anything. He went on. "I think I am part of Rand's destiny, somehow."

De-Lurking the blogs!

I saw a funny post over at It's All About Books describing how Thursday was De-Lurking day. I love this because I am a notorious lurker, not that any of you would know. That's the point right? You come, you read, you leave without a trace! I am trying to make more of an effort to leave comments when I read other people's blogs, but sometimes I simply have nothing to say (can you believe it?). If you are like me, it's time to come out of the lurking closet. Leave a comment and have fun answering some of these questions:

Who's your favorite author?
Who's your favorite singer? I had to include this one because I love any chance I get to describe my undying love for Elvis Costello. 
If you could go ANYWHERE in the universe, real or not, where would go?
Do you have animals? Tell me about them! And take a moment to watch my babies at the top of the screen!

The Being Honest Award

I received the Honest Scrap Award the other day from Aye.Me? over at Reversing the Monotony. Thanks! This is one of those awards that requires you do actually do something, so thanks for giving me homework! hehehe

The rules say I have to tell 10 honest things about myself
1. I have to be in the mood for chocolate (like my period). It takes me a week (or more) to make it through a large chocolate bar but when I am in the mood I will go out of my way to find it RIGHT NOW!

2. I love weird cheese, like camembert and brie and speadable goat's cheese. It's the only reason this vegetarian has not gone vegan.

3. I would like a job where all I have to do all day is read books I want to read.

4. I am STILL a major Buffy fan(atic). I have all 7 seasons and still watch them on a regular basis.

5. I love to cook and am always looking for fun, new recipes

6. I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was in high school yet somehow ended up a music therapist. Weird.

7. When I was in college my favorite artist was Dali, then I discovered Magritte!

8. I have an undying love for Elvis Costello yet I have never had the chance to see him in concert. I'm hoping this is the year!

9. Halloween is my favorite day of the year. I start decorating for it in September (and have to make myself wait so I don't do it in August).

10. I try to be a good girl and read classic fiction but I begin to feel irritable if it's been too long since I read a fantasy novel.

Ok, passing this on to 10 bloggers. I wanted to something a little different and give some exposure to bloggers I have found outside the book blogging sphere. I think we book bloggers get stuck in a rut and forget there are other types of blogs out there that are worth reading. They are wonderful and some do not get the attention they deserve so head on over and read them!
