So glad I have books to keep me company. I have just added a few to my reading list. I can’t wait to get them in-hand so I can begin the journey through the pages. I have decided against reading any more of “Buttercup’s Baby” (sequel to The Princess Bride). I read a few pages in and it totally didn’t grab me. So that one is out. I am going to try and read these:

  • Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen
  • Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire
  • Lost in the Mirror by Richard A. Moskovitz
  • I Hate You, Don’t Leave Me by Jerold J. Kreisman
  • Pope Joan by Donna Woolfolk Cross
  • Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
  • Crispin by Avi

Avi is a childhood favorite author of mine. Wicked comes highly recommended from a friend. The I Hate You book is the predecessor to Sometimes I act Crazy, which I own and have already read. The others are just books I have an interest in reading for myself. I will probably end up reviewing the I Hate You and Lost in the Mirror books on my mental health blog. The others will more likely go here or my vox blog.

I could wash the dishes

or unload the dishwasher

or fold clothes

….

eh.

I could prepost stuff for Friday.

eh.

I’m starting to get exhausted. I think it might be time for a Pepsi.

I should have put one in the freezer 20 minutes ago.

eh.

HOLY SMOKES! The man will be home for dinner. What am I gonna cook?

I think I will read some more Helen of Troy and call it an afternoon… maybe. I want to look at this other website real quick though, and tell you about it…if I find it interesting.

I have a hobby I am going to restart doing:

CROCHET!!!!!

more on that later…

I had the pleasure of interviewing one of my new favorite authors, Jamieson Wolf. He was kind enough to allow me to host him on his cyber book tour. I love his tag line “the Wolf never sleeps…”. It’s funny, I have always been drawn to wolves. To be honest, they are the balancing symbol to my eagle symbol (tribal stuff). To check out his current works, make sure to visit the site for The Ghost Mirror, and Hunted. He has books up for sale as ebooks and paperbacks.

Let’s get into the interview, shall we?

You might remember when I reviewed the book “The Ghost Mirror” back in May. Well, Jamieson has graced this blog with his presence. On Wednesday the 18th I will be posting all the questions and answers from our interview. Make sure you check out my review of “The Ghost Mirror” before then. I am excited to showcase him here once again, and this time it’s personal ;)

This is an EXCLUSIVE  REVIEW! I am the first to get to do this!!!

I just got finished reading a 129 page book in its entirety. I couldn’t stop reading. My eyes just ate up the pages. In last night’s chat we had author Jamieson Wolf who has just officially published his new book The Ghost Mirror.

Jamieson was nice enough to allow me to take a read of the book firsthand so I could do this review. The first words that come to mind:

Oh.
My.
God.

The book was beyond words. It is for the young adult genre and involves magic, but the story is enthralling enough for anyone to want to dig right in. Wolf’s characters are well formed, consistent, and develop nicely through the story. Your mind is sent into a weaving motion, each element of the book a strand of a well made piece of material.

I am not going to tell you all that the story entails, just know that Mave has to face the Mirror and everything behind it. She finds out that she is more than she appears to be, and is given a task of great proportion. Will she be able to rise to the challenges that lie ahead?

Go buy the book and see for yourself. My heart is beating out of my chest in want of the second book in the series: The Silver Glass.

I will be a host on his virtual book tour, so stay tuned for that, which is soon to come.

Egypt

I have always been in love with the romanticized figure of Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile. At one time all I did was research Egypt, its culture and history, its great wonders and mysteries…now I just read books like the one by Margaret George and dream of the day I get to see the pyramids up close and personal. I had not thought of which cities I would see other than those where I can catch a glimpse of the Sphynx, but then I saw some pictures of Sharm El Sheikh Egypt and its vast beach. The two tone water speaks to me. I really would love to travel to Egypt and take a few weeks to discover all the desert wonders and the resort filled beauty.

I have a friend named Deb who is a fantastic writer. She wrote a book about skin care specifically for students and one for anyone who is thinking about going into Massage Therapy. These books are easy to understand and very straight-forward. Deb, herself, was looking for a book that would feed her need to understand the ins and outs of both subjects. The books cover a wide range of issues from simple questions one may have to business and marketing after school.

If you are a student of skin care or thinking of going into massage therapy, you should definitely take a look at this book. She wrote from her own extensive knowledge on these subjects to help out students just like you. It is available through Amazon.com. Just click the link in my sidebar to find the Massage Q and A book. You won’t find a better guide out there than these two fabulous books.

Check out all her books on Lulu.com.

ps this is an unsponsored, unsolicited book review for my friend…it’s a surprise. check out her books and let her know what you think!
