In my Mailbox!

I had to wait until 8 pm yesterday but then they were finally delivered!

If there is a Bath & Body Works around where you live, please stop in a purchase a "Fresh Balsam" candle. They are to die for! Hubby and I had bought some at the store, but loved them so much we purchased more candles, oils and room spray.. yeah #addicted!

Also, I got my Barnes & Noble package. *does the happy dance and makes happy, but weird, noises* I got the following titles:

"Anna Dressed in Blood" by Kendare Blake

"Shatter Me" by Tahereh Mafi

"Silence" by Becca Fitzpatrick

"The unbecoming of Mara Dyer" by Michelle Hodkin

"Beautiful Chaos" by Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia

"The Replacement" by Brenna Yovanoff

"The Silver Blade" by Sally Gardner

"Wondrous Strange" by Lesley Livingston

I still have a whole bunch of books that I have bought these past two weeks and haven't read:

"Bleeding Violet" by Dia Reeves

"Before I fall" by Lauren Oliver

"Destined" by Jessie Harrell

"Claire de Lune" Christine Johnson

"Hourglass" by Claudia Grey

"Destined" by PC Cast and Kristin Cast

So I think I have enough to last me for a bit, right? NOT! Having books is an addiction and I am a self proclaimed "book hoarder." Pretty soon I will need another bookcase :)

What are some of the titles you will be reading over the holidays? Anything exciting? Please comment so I can have an excuse to buy more.

XOXO

Random Thoughts

Hi world!

Becca Fitzpatrick just tweeted me, so I am featuring her with both her books (which i love and have on my bookcase in front of me.) You can click on them to purchase!

This morning was brutal. I stayed up until past three in the morning writing last night and had to leave my characters in a very hot and heavy embrace :) I am finally getting my fix of caffeine- after i attempted to be good and eat some kiwis and strawberries for breakfast, but if you know me you know that is just not me. So i followed with turtle brownie i had made and now my sweet coffee.

Some super random that have crossed my head since i woke up:

"Kids!!! get in here!" I yelled after my seven and three year old to come into the dining room. The walk out of their rooms to find me on top of a chair pointing at something on the floor. My daughter looks at it and then turns to me, "Ma, its just a worm."
"Well kill it!" I say back to her, until it hits me- i am acting like a moron. I grabbed the vacuum (as i CANNOT touch bugs, even with napkins or what not) and vacuumed it up. My daughter rolled her eyes, giggled and went back to playing with her Little Pet Shops.

If you are going to be fixing up your house or are considering getting new floors, listen to my advice: DO NOT GET DARK WOOD FLOOR! They look absolutely gorgeous, but are a pain in the butt to clean- take my word for it! Every tiny piece of dust or dirt is extremely visible.

What are your thoughts (Authors) on sex in Y.A. Novels? Any advice you could share? Some Do's and Don'ts?

Well, this was fun, but it is time for me to get back to my characters!

Hope everyone has an amazing day.

Xoxo,
