To Read or Not To Read posed an interesting question.
Who was your first supernatural/paranormal crush?

Mine would have to be ***drum roll please******

My first supernatural/paranormal crush was...Eric Draven from the movie The Crow! I was about 13 or 14 when this came out and I loved it! That was my movie for so long! I still love it! I was saddened to hear that he died during the filming. I think that makes the movie's story even more tragic.

Read Your Own Books Read-a-Thon Update 2



Well yesterday was kinda suckish, but today I plan on getting more reading time in! I did finish one awesome book! I LOVED Numbers by Rachel Ward! So look for the review coming soon!

Here are my plans for today!

  • The Replacement
  • The Tree
I want to finish these two by the end of the night! The Replacement is starting off pretty well so I don't think I'll have a problem getting into it! I don't have to work much today but I will probably have to take a break for that!

Book Total so far: 1 book, 235 pages, approx. 4 hours total read.

Now off to the reading! I'll check in every few hours if I can!

It's Monday What are you Reading and Weekly Plans

So, like my previous post said I didn't get much reading done last week. I did however finish House of Leaves! So I'm really kinda proud of myself. That book was wicked hard to follow at times but sooo good! I liked it a lot!

Today my son goes off to start the 1st grade so that leaves me home alone for a HUGE chunk of hours! I'm so mixed up emotionally right now. I'm happy for him but sad I won't see my little buddy all day! I am happy to finally have some free time to read a LOT now! Woot! So here is my list for this week! Crossing my fingers I get some good reading done!

  1. Princess of Glass
  2. The Replacement
  3. Crescendo
  4. Numbers
That would be an awesome chunk of books to read in one week! I'm gonna try!

What about you?

Read-a-Thon!


Monica over at the Bibliophilic Book Blog will be hosting a Read-a-Thon from 9am Friday August 13th and go until 9am Monday the 16th of August! (Click the button to sign up!)

You all know how much of a slut I am for Read-a-Thons! I LOVE them! So I'm all in on this one! i have a ton of books that I need to read! I'm gonna try and read about 8 hours a day every day of the "thon."


UPDATE!!!

The Read-a-Thon starts tomorrow and I will have to work some but I will still try and get my reading in! I'm not going to post a list yet but I will update as I go along! I'm going to aim for 3 books read but I won't cap myself on that! I'm going to use this post as my starting line!

1st Book: Numbers-Rachel Ward (page 325)
Started this book a bit later than I wanted. My husband stayed home sick so I had to play nurse, then the power went out because of a storm! Fun times man! So I read when I could and finally finished at about 8:30pm! So I would say I got about (estimated) 4 hours of reading done.

ZZZzzzz...


This is totally me right now! My new job is awesome-sauce but I have to get used to my new schedule. I'm working from 7pm-10pm, which isn't a lot BUT I have to get up at 5am (ish) to get Mr. Boy ready for school and out to the bus. So since school starts next Monday, we've been "practicing" getting up early. So yeah, I'm zonked and a half. I should be fine once he actually gets in school because I can take a nap during the day but til then I think I'm going to be running on auto-pilot.
Basically, this post is to warn you guys that I may be M.I.A for a few days while I adjust.

Review: Infinite Days


I went into this book with very few expectations. I've read some good reviews and some not so good reviews. I have to say that the cover is simply gorgeous! I'm not exactly sure how it matches the actual story but it is very pretty. With that said, I'll make this short and sweet. I liked it. It wasn't the best I've ever read but it is good. I enjoyed the story and definitely liked the characters. I had a few nagging little things that kept this from being a GREAT story. For one, I thought that the romance between Lenah and Justin moved rather quickly. I mean there she is grieving over Rhode and then boom! She's in love again! Also, I wished there was more about the other vampires in her coven. I thought that would have made the story so much more interesting, but that's just my opinion.

All in all, I do like this book. I enjoyed it and would recommend it.

It's Monday What are you Reading and Weekly Plans

This week I figured that I would take it easy. I started my new job last night and since school is about to start (next week) I will be zonked with trying to get Little Man ready! So I'll take it slow on the reading front.

Here are my plans:
  • continue-House of Leaves
  • The Wolf Of Tebron-C.S.Lakin
  • Crescendo
