Reading Update
A lot of hockey fics. 🙂
Diversion by Eden Winters. reread. Really good m/m romantic suspense about prescription drug smuggling. I beta read this, and I never feel quite right trying to review a book when I’ve done that! And yes, there’s a very good reason this interrupted my hockey immersion. Nope. Not telling. 🙂

Also, feed the kitties kitty food, much better for their tummies
I am SO making those Irish Shortbread Toffee Bars!!! It must happen…possibly this weekend…
Very cool about the Island of the Blue Dolphin cave! And cool about people getting the Dr. Who script back to the BBC unread – I don’t think I could have stopped myself.
The before and after hurricane shots are amazing. And awful. 🙁
A recent post from Bronwyn Green..Hello Birmingham, it’s Buffalo…
I want to try the gingerbread cookies 😉

A sleeping cat does not eat titles.
I totally suckered for the Bourbon Hot Toddy!!

Aren’t calicos always female?
I didn’t even know that “Island of the Blue Dolphins” was based on a real person.
Which cat ate the title?
A recent post from Cheryl S…Matchy-Matchy
Which cat? 🙂
I have seen it all now I’ve seen Jane Austen band aids!
I wonder what Jeanne would make of that shepherd’s pie recipe. 🙂

Thanks for the bourbon recipe links. Michael and I have to provide a cocktail for a party on Sunday, and the Bourbon Bomber sounds great for fall.
Have a great weekend!

😀 I knew you’d find the link as awesome as I did!
You know, I just can’t bring myself to look at that 8ft python gummy… *shudder

Happy to have won–thank you! I’m still crazy about DIVERSION (re-reading it now!), and I *must have* those Lego boxes. And sigh, what I wouldn’t give for some San Jose Sharks fic…or some San Jose Sharks GAMES…bah, stupid lockout!
Another great selection of links this week! The 50 Shades hoopla is reaching crazy levels and I still don’t understand it. There’s no way I’d put my kid in clothes with those sayings. Truly goofy. It’s about as bad as the little boy who came to my house trick-or-treating with his two little sisters with their costumes being a pimp with his two ho’s which their mother gleefully informed me. ACKKKK!
And I saw those gingerbread Oreos and thought they sounded gross but almost bought them just because…..
A recent post from Joder..Review for Double Time by Olivia Cunning
I dunno, this is a pretty cool title…
I may have to look into making Lego gift boxes.
And the photos before & after Sandy are fascinating, yet sad. 🙁
