My Last Trip To The Library

My Last Trip To The Library

I did it, my last trip to my local library before I moved.  I bypassed the new shelf, paid my fine and walked out the door.  No tears or long good-bye, as I defiantly will not miss the 40 minute walk to get there.  In other words, it is time to move on. My library card […]

Custom Domain Name?

Custom Domain Name?

Lately I’ve been thinking, should I get a custom domain name?  I got on Go Daddy and it is a lot cheaper than I thought it would be, but I’m a little nervous or hesitant on the matter.  I’ve looked at tutorials and it seems to be relatively easy (and I’m sure they have Custom […]

Review: The Fortune Hunter

Review: The Fortune Hunter

Novels that involve famed persons tend to be told through a female’s eye I did not find that to be the case in The Fortune Hunter.  Daisy Goodwin’s book is one of a love triangle and is aptly told by all three participant’s point of view.  It could very easily be told through the eyes […]

Austen in August 2014

Austen in August 2014

  Misty at The Book Rat is hosting her yearly Austen in August and I couldn’t be more thrilled.  I’ll be out of town for this event but still plan to read along with The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet by Bernie Su and Kate Rorick.  As an obvious Jane Austen fan this novel has […]

The Giver Movie Trailer

The Giver Movie Trailer

Last week I saw Transformers.  Right when you walked in the theater there was a poster for The Giver. Oh no! It is a Twilight wannabe. Maybe they’re trying to draw teens who didn’t grow up in the 90s. Yeah, that must be it.  But then I saw the trailer… Disappointment began. First off there […]

Sidebars Or Lack Thereof

Sidebars Or Lack Thereof

For Bloggiesta I mainly focused on the appearance of my blog.  I created a page for my archived posts and labels, fiddled with the background and added social icons to match.  I also created title banners for each of my gadgets on my sidebar.  I then realized I didn’t like them.  For some reason they […]
