So, it's the beginning of the new year. And like everyone else, I've got a bunch of resolutions. 11 resolutions for 2011 ( Read more... )

2010 has been an interesting year. It's also been the most productive in terms of reading; I read 141 books so far.
To start off, here are my top five reads published in 2010:

5. Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

Tis the season. Honestly, I hate Christmas. Mainly because I feel guilty if people give me presents. It makes it worse that my birthday is shortly after Christmas, so I have to suffer through presents twice in a short amount of time.
Plus, I hate the anticipation of surprise. Questions like What will it be? Will I like it? What if I hate it and ( Read more... )

So, I was supposed to draw the winners yesterday, but was far too tired to stay up, so I begin drawing now. I've cut up all the usernames and put them in my special Kyo hat.

The winner is.... *drumroll*

And because I'm filled with the Christmas spirit, I shall draw another name. They too will get the prize of a book.

Yay, it's Thursday!

1. I don't know why I care so much that it's Thursday, since I'm on holidays for as long as it takes to find a job (see #2.), so all my days just blur into one massive day. Seriously, it's times like these that I need to go to school. Thank god for my calendar and my super scary organisation when it comes to said calendar, or ( Read more... )

So, I would like to present my first giveaway!

The theme is the new year. 2010, I believe was the start of something new. I started university, met new people (both online and off) and experienced a great deal. I also read a whole bunch of new books. It always amazes me how many books get released each year.

So, this contest will be to celebrate 2010 ( Read more... )

So, yesterday, I went into Borders to show the bf what books I'd possibly want for Xmas, when I saw a display for the book Eon by Alison Goodman. Huh, I thought, I wonder why they're advertising that book, when it's been out for ages. I left and didn't think about it again, until I returned several hours later (for reasons I could not fathom) and ( Read more... )

Okay, so I'm sure ya'll have noticed the absence of my presence on LJ. That's mainly because my internet had run out 3 weeks early (I can only spend 12 gb a month, and dad keeps on forgetting that >.<) and it was too slow to load LJ properly. So I haven't been able to read everyone's posts, and comment on them, or even write my own posts. UGH, so ( Read more... )

Wow, so the first week of NaNo has passed far too quickly for my liking. It was fun, it was traumatic, and most of all, I got words down.

So, without further ado, I present to you my metrics for the week, which I am fairly impressed with.
