I Am Number Four – SPOILERS AHEAD!
After being disappointed by Mockingjay this summer (Last quarter felt rushed) I picked up I Am Number Four. It was beyond pleasantly surprised. Now, for the sake of the people in the feed-reader who have not read it, I’m going to included a handy “Read More” link so that they won’t see my discussion unless they click the link. Is this mildly annoying for those of us wanting to discuss? Yes. But I don’t want to be part of ruining the story for anyone.... Read More
Vertigo
Wes has always had a bit of an issue with vertigo. He doesn’t like being able to see down from wherever he is.

Winter Makes Me Say Bad Words
We had, what was hopefully, our last snow of the season. I’m going to be optimistic and simply say: IT WAS THE LAST SNOW OF THE SEASON. Amen.

I (heart) bullets.
Get it? Because these are bullets about Valentine’s Day? I’m punny. We put pencils through those holes in the hearts you see in the picture above, and then they became the wrap-around for the goodie bags we did for the Valentine’s Day party. It’s not quite as awesome as I’d like to be, but now that I’m working again I haven’t mastered scheduling projects yet. I just didn’t start early enough. Because I started yesterday. Yep. Procrastination... Read More
Photo: I (heart) books.
My friend Sarah posted this lovely photo of pages from a book turned into a heart. I immediately knew I’d be stealing the idea as soon as possible. However, this was WAAAY harder than I thought it would be. Either I’m missing an obvious trick or this is just a giant pain in the butt. I tried several books about love but the only book that would cooperate was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. OF COURSE. The one book in the world I could come closest to knowing... Read More
