Books for Christmas

If you are anything like me, then you have a list of books you would like to see under the tree for Christmas!  Or better yet, how about an eReader under the tree with the books you want?  I am all for being environmental and saving trees and reading on my Nook instead of actually getting books, but I will admit there is just something about a big book wrapped under the tree that makes the Christmas tree sparkle and glow like it has a secret!

Quote of the Day

He puzzled and puzzled until his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. Maybe Christmas, he thought ... doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps ... means a little bit more!

NaNoWriMo

This past month with the prompting from my sister, I decided to try my hand at National Novel Writing Month.  I am proud to announce that I made it to the 50,000 word goal two days before the deadline and validated my novel.  I am still working on editing my work and may post some excerpts from the novel at times.

If you don't know much, or anything, about NaNoWriMo, check out the website, so maybe next year you can participate as well!
