AROUND THE BLOGOSPHERE:
  • Kristen over at We Be Reading has compiled a Book Celebration Calendar!  It is a great little list of book-related events that are up and coming! 
  • Pam over at Bookalicious came across this very entertaining, but morbid bookcase . . . one that serves a purpose in both your life and death!!  For some reason, I find it rather cool!! 
FINAL THOUGHTS:  My hubby has needed the computer this last week to study and work on projects for work.  Needless to say, my projects get to go on the side burner!!  :(  I'm going to be working on getting more access to it this week to actually get some things posted, because I actually have quite a bit!  In the meantime, I will be working on taxes in the hopes to get a little bit of refund to go towards another computer!  One computer with wireless access is just not enough anymore!!

Hope you enjoy the final week of the Olympics!

  2. I just checked out The Forest of Hands and Teeth from the library. I am praying I can read it before I have to return it.

  3. Kristen M. . . . You are so welcome!! Did you get the dates that I posted? I didn't know if they qualified or not, but thought I would share anyways!!

    J. Kaye . . . I'm still listening to it! I haven't had access to my car where I usually listen to it, so it is taking me a while to get through it. And, I really want to get through it! I like what I've heard so far!
