SMOKIN' SEVENTEEN by Janet Evanovich

Break out a cold drink and slap on some sunscreen, because everyone's favourite bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is going to warm up your winter in her next adventure SMOKIN' SEVENTEEN!
Where there's smoke there's fire, and no one knows this better than New Jersey bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum. The bail bonds office has burned to the ground, and bodies are turning up in the empty construction lot. To make matters worse, Stephanie is working out of a motor home she shares with a dancing bear, and...

It's the weekend!

This panda is so adorable. And he's super excited, too.
Well, as the title for this blog post states: it's the weekend! But hubby went to work really early this morning, so I sat down in front of the computer and read the last few chapters I added yesterday during my frantic get-to-the-end writing session. Phew. 
I'm very excited to say that I just finished Alex Wales #2. Yay.
The first draft word count is 56,535, which is awesome because I know there'll be things to add during the next two...

Lovin' the sun!

Today is actually a beautiful day. Seriously, it's sunny and warm. For just a moment, I can even try to forget that it's still winter. lol. Only when the sun goes down is it impossible to forget the season. *cold*
Anyway. The last few days have been super busy, and I've tried to juggle adding new words to Alex Wales #2 with getting other stuff done. So today, I was determined to get as much writing as I could.
I ended up adding another 4,903 new words. This brings the total word count up to...

Bad blogger

Yeah, I've been terrible the last few days. :( Time's been slipping away from me so quickly.
Why is there always so much to do? lol
Anyway. Today started out bright and sunny, but before I realised what was happening, the sky filled with dark clouds and a violent wind kicked up. It got seriously cold too. I nearly got blown away when I walked over to pick my daughter up from school. At least we came home right away and have been warm and indoors ever since. Cool!
So. I didn't add as many words ...

SHADY LADY by Ann Aguirre

Whenever Corine Solomon touches an object, she immediately knows its history. But her own future concerns her more and more. Now back in Mexico, she's running her pawnshop and trying to get a handle on her strange new powers, for she might need them. And soon.
Then former ally Kel Ferguson walks through her door. Heavily muscled and tattooed, Kel looks like a convict but calls himself a holy warrior. This time, he carries a warning for Corine: the Montoya cartel is coming for her - but they...

Happy Weekend!

Okay, today we have Weekend WeeMee.
Let me just mention that I don't wear dresses. Actually, the last time I wore a dress was probably on my wedding day... which was almost 12 years ago. But this is so cute! I think this dress totally suits me, and I'd love to wear it to the beach. :)
BTW, my daughter loves making these cute versions of me. Wish I could use one of them for my passport. Seriously. I had my passport photo taken yesterday and those things are just so unflattering. O_o
I have to...

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EMILY by Robyn Bachar

Magic, matchmaking and murder... Lord Willowbrook's spring ball is supposed to be a magical celebration, but Miss Emily Wright is bored. The only outlet allowed for her magic is matchmaking—for others, not herself. Why bother? The only man she wants, Michael Black, is a man she can never have. Suddenly the guests are abuzz with news of a young sorceress found drained of blood in the parlor. The mystery calls to her, and since she is the only available seer in all England, she jumps at the...

Will this rain ever end??

Here I am again! This time, I'm having a hot cup of tea just after getting back from a nice--but cold--walk by the river. ;)
Very cute.

So, I had a strange day yesterday.

For some reason, the very cool Blogger template I'm using (which I love very much!) decided to go wonky on me. I thought maybe there was something up with it, but it turns out there wasn't. I actually contacted the person who 'Bloggerized' it, and he told me it was fine. Plus gave me a link to re-download it. Which I did...

It's a WeeWorld out there...

This is a WeeMee that my daughter made of me. lol.

Apparently, I've just come up with a brilliant new idea, while holding a hot cup of coffee and a laptop. Not sure how I'm supposed to get any writing done, with my hands full and no couch, desk, counter, or chair anywhere.

I think I can manage, though. ;)

Isn't it cute? My daughter went a bit nuts and made a whole bunch of them. I might share some other ones later on this week.

Well, I'm still super excited about the news I shared yesterday...

ONE HUNDRED CANDLES by Mara Purnhagen

It's taken a long time for me to feel like a normal teenager. But now that I'm settled in a new school, where people know me as more than Charlotte Silver of the infamous Silver family paranormal investigators, it feels like everything is falling into place. And what better way to be normal than to go on a date with a popular football star like Harris Abbott? After all, it's not as if Noah is anything more than a friend….
But my new life takes a disturbing turn when Harris brings me to a...
