To be honest, I expected a bit more of an Enchanted Forest – make sure you look out for leaks from above…
May was sprawled on the trackpad earlier and managed to resize my normal, tiny recycle bin quite a bit – now it’s ginormous:
Contest(s)
- Blodeuedd’s giving away Is This Love? by Sue Moorcroft. Closes November 16.
- Answer the question to a four-pack Christmas novel four-pack from Blodeuedd. Closes December 7.
Bookity
- New releases and more: Fiction Vixen (romance/UF), Literary Escapism (UF/PNR), and Tor.com (PNR)
- Book and publishing news from Dear Author.
- “Authors should know when to call it quits“. (I’m looking at you, Janet Evanovich and Laurell K Hamilton.)
- Typography holy wars. (Hover your cursor for additional text.)
Think, Do, Learn, Make
- New body part discovered! (It’s a knee ligament. Don’t get too excited there.)
- Build a bicycle-powered battery for emergency power. (I would be the worst parent. I would let my kids watch as much tv and play as many video games as they wanted… as long as they were able to continue powering their watching and gaming.)
Cookity
- Banana bread doughnuts. (via The Kitchn)
Gluten Free
Crafty
- Turn sweaters into sweatpants (swants). (Thanks?!, Jeanne!)
Cool

- What famous science fiction movies and tv shows would be like if they actually followed scientific principles. (You can follow @HardSciFiMovies on Twitter for more.)
- Turn bookshelves into cat trees. But only bookshelves that are securely anchored to the wall!!
Cool or Wha…?
- Le Chat Noir socks. (Thanks, Cheryl!)
Wha…?
LOL
- A bit of research would’ve helped. (That acronym is actually this word, if you aren’t familiar with it.)

Reading Update

It’s catghan season! 23 lbs of cats keeps my legs very warm before they go numb.
Since I do not have cats I’m thinking swants might be just the thing for winter warmth.

I sucked at the what you know about the world quiz
A recent post from blodeuedd..Review: Don’t want to miss a thing – Jill Mansell
The ginormous bin made me chuckle. Ah, Mayhem, making the effort to live up to your name even in small ways every day. I didn’t even know that was possible to do, never mind do it with paws.
Thanks for the link to my links. 😀
It made me smile to see how we both have warped minds when shopping at Menards. And off to find NdeGT podcast.
I think it would be great to have the swants with matching crocheted ski cap.

Baby tigers, baby lions, cuteness overload!! And I loved the At-at’s in the quaint Thomas Kinkade’s. lol
A recent post from Ava..Cover Lovin’ – All In with the Duke
Need catghan NOW! Lol, I buy thrift store afghans by the pound (the uglier, the better). But a purry, black catghan would be awesomest.
Hm. I think there are both pluses and minuses to the catghan…

Linkity always gives my brain a workout and awakens my senses! I think that 7 Layer Candy Bar Dip looks rather gross, but I find myself wanting chocolate now. 😉 I’d seen the Star Wars Thomas Kincade versions and I think they’re a big improvement! There will be no swants in my house. They’re enough to make a girl throw out every colorful sweater she has. LOL I never go to Dunkin Donuts but I’d be really tempted to break tradition if that Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate is gluten free. Thanks for ALL the links; I enjoyed them. And, finally, big thanks for linking to my Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake! I will be making it again soon. 🙂
Have a good week, Chris!
