Thursday Thirteen: 13 Random Tasty Bits of Eyecandy

Whoops! Time has gotten away from me, today - so I'm just going to have to throw together a quick Thursday Thirteen for y'all.

The reason I'm coming up short is that I've been writing and I've been watching the end of the Tour of Qatar stages every day. As a result, my scheduling has been a little wonky.

And so, this week, I shall present to you a few of my favorites, which I'm sure I've shared before, but I doubt you'll mind:

Let the Right One In

BLURB:
Oskar and Eli.  In very different ways, they were both victims.  Which is why, against the odds, they became friends. 

And how they came to depend on one another, for life itself.

Oskar is a 12 year old boy living with his mother on a dreary housing estate at the city's edge.  He...

Thursday Thirteen: 13 Chilly Excerpts from Ask Me if I'm Happy

When I was trying to come up with a post for today, I found myself thinking about the fact that it's now February, which, as it happens is one of my favorite months. It's usually cold, and we have some snow (in fact, this year it has actually been snowing virtually non-stop here in Reggio for two days), and my wedding anniversary comes up at the end. So what's not to love?

As a result of my affection for this particular month, my novel Ask Me if I'm Happy takes place primarily during...

Thursday Thirteen: 13 Photos (and Videos) of Sophie "Doodlebug" Menozzi

While I was considering topics to post this morning, I watched my kitty playing with her pet string. Yes, I said "pet string". She has an old shoelace she plays with, and when she's done playing with it, she takes it to the sink or to her food dish and leaves it there. I'm not sure if she's trying to feed it or what.

Anyway, I decided that I'd share some of my favorite photos of my beloved monster with you this week. So please, allow me to present to you:
