Weekly Recap : October 12th - 18th

Yay! Another week has flown by! I was sick this past week, so I didn't get nearly as much done as I would have hoped...but...I should be greatful that I did get done what I did! I'm still holding back some of my reviews so that later on I will be able to post more than just 2-3 a week...I'd like to get it to posting one every day of the week so you always have something to look forward to other than a daily meme.

Weekly Recap : October 5th - 11th

This week went by SUPER fast...for me anyway. Things are hectic around here, so please don't hold it against me if I'm not posting daily memes or book reviews. We may be moving within the next couple weeks, and we have been dragging Virgo over to place we will be staying so she can get to know the family before we take her there permenantly. We are also waiting on their landlord to let them know whether they will be allowed to take on a roommate. I'm secretly wishing that he will, because the space is HUGE and Virgo will have TONS of room...as well as all the extra space for more BOOOOOKS! YES!!

On another note -

I usually review a book as soon as I'm through with it, and post it here right away for you guys to read. Well, things are going to change, in the event that something like what I'm going through right now happens! From now on I will read the books, and review them....but wait to post the reviews. That way I can spread them out a little bit, and eventually get to the point where I'm posting a review every day. Like for instance, I already finished 2 books this week that I haven't reviewed here. I'll post one...and then wait until next week to post the other. Please keep in mind that blog tours will be posted on their specified date. Eventually, this will enable me to post more reviews...and still read the same amount of books. It's gonna go slow for awhile, but you'll see it pick up soon!

Ok! Here goes...

Weekly Recap : September 21st - 27th

Time for the Weekly Recap! Yay! I will be completely honest with all of you right now...I'm EXHAUSTED! I worked my butt off last night, and I'm just getting home from work. My shoulder is killing me, and I really don't want to even post this right now...lol. Well, I am though, because I am DEDICATED to this blog, and to all of you. I was also very excited to notice that I'm over the 200 follower mark! HOLY COW! Awesome right? TOO COOL! Well, I never hosted a 100 follower contest, but there will be a 200 follower contest, as well as an Halloween Giveaway. I'm not too sure what I'm doing yet...lol..still thinking things over for both!

Anywhos-y-watzits...here's the wrap-up, and what you can look forward to during this week!

- Ok, well I didn't get as much done as I had hoped for. My review for CSN never happened because my darn camera wouldn't let me upload for some reason..so I'm trying again!

-As for reading and reviewing Never Cry Werewolf...well, NO ONE HAD IT! I went to buy it at my local Waldenbooks...and they didn't even know what I was talking about. I had to explain it to them, and they are going to order it. Too late for the discussion at Blog With Bite though! Ugh.

Good morning everyone! I'm up bright and early today, it's only 6am here in Pennsylvania. Technically I was up at 5:15...eh, yeah, it sucks!

I'm in a better mood than I was in last week, despite the fact that I've been sick for the past couple of days, blah...but hey, at least I got to stay home from work! YAY! lol.

Weekly Recap : August 31st - September 6th

Wow, it's already September! My favorite month of the year, only because the 4th is my Birthday! I was actually lucky enough to have the day off on my birthday, only because a friend from work was kind enough to take my hours from me, even though he already had plans..wow! Anywho, it's been a rough week for me, an emotional week, and I feel drained. My job is driving me up the wall, and now I've come to learn that they are cutting me back to only 2 days on the newest schedule that was just posted, so I'm racking my brain with how I'm going to be able to pay everything..but do they care? NO. Didn't think so. Anywho..on to the important stuff!
