O noes! Itty bitty kitty vampires! Run away!
I’m pretty sure this isn’t Mayhem. I think things would be a lot messier if she was involved… This lol gave me a flashback to when Mayhem arrived.
What an odd usb hub!
Aquarium Drunkard asked an interesting question yesterday – which sentence from their lyrics would best summarizes a particular band’s entire output? My contribution was for the Mountain Goats – although I’m still thinking about a few other artists. The comments are definitely worth a read!
How to stay in shape while you use your laptop?
Just in case you’ve missed the spiders. 😉
Isn’t this an intriguing bookcase concept?
Remember the very amusing Romance Apologia Scale on the Dear Author blog that I mentioned last week? Yesterday, Dear Author had an excellent (albeit lengthy) post that went further into the attitudes and beliefs behind Romance Apologia.
SciFiGuy.ca lists the forthcoming fantasy, urban fantasy, and paranormal releases for December.
Reading Update
Succubus in the City by Nina Harper. All about a fashionista succubus living in NYC and hanging out with her demon gal pals. Started out well, stretched on a bit too long, and lost it at the end as it lurched to an abrupt stop with a sequel obviously in mind.
Living with the Dead (Women of the Otherworld, Book 9) by Kelley Armstrong. Initially, I was disappointed that this was another book about Hope and Karl, but the story sucked me in and got me completely involved.
Valentine’s Day Is Killing Me by MaryJanice Davidson, Leslie Esdaile, and Susanna Carr. Three utterly unparanormal short stories about Valentine’s Day.
Don’t Look Down by Suzanne Enoch. The sequel to Flirting with Danger might not be quite as good as the first book, but it was still darn good romantic suspense. I’ve already started Billionaires Prefer Blondes and A Touch of Minx is on its way to my library as I type. (I just realized that Samantha and Rick remind me a bit of Eve Dallas and Roarke, with dash of Stephanie Plum and Morelli/Ranger tossed in to lighten things up a bit.)
Sweet Love by Sarah Strohmeyer. I’ve read a few of Strohmeyer’s mysteries featuring Bubbles, but stopped reading them partway through one of the books (can’t remember exactly why anymore). This novel was a pleasant surprise.
Beyond Fearless (Beyond, Book 2) by Rebecca York. Paranormal romance featuring psychics – no vampires or werewolves or other things that go bump in the night.
Watchers in the Night (Guardians of the Night, Book 1) by Jenna Black. Not the greatest vampire series I’ve read, but I did get involved in the story and I’m curious to see what happens next.
The Magical Christmas Cat by Lora Leigh, Erin McCarthy, Nalini Singh, and Linda Winstead Jones. Other than the extremely dorky title, this was a fun collection of cat-related paranormal romance. Mmmm… hunky were-leopards.
“Mom!!! I can’t get this most super cool toy free of the packaging! Help me!” -Mayhem
Ok, sweetie. *rustling and ripping sounds* Hmm, I wonder what Chaos is doing? (Yup, more of that foreshadowing stuff.)
I don’t think I can work the foot pedal charger on top of knitting, surfing the internet, taking care of the children and cooking dinner, but if you can convince 98 of your closest friends, I’m so in on the kitty USB port!
How do you find all this stuff? Love the kitty usb hub 🙂
I’m skipping the links and going right to the cute kitty. What IS Chaos up to?
Yeah, that’s not Gandalf either. Or any of the guys, for that matter.
LOL! I want that USB hub!
Eating the packaging!
I also want a kitty USB hub.. too bad we have to order 100 wholesale to get it!
Iz tu a skweekee toy!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that USB hub.
I just added 12 books to my “I plan to read” shelf at shelfari. Its a good thing I took a lot of days off for Christmas again this year 😉
(last year I believe I read 10 plum books)
My clicky finger is tired. But the squeaky toy was great.
Chris- Did you see the hub that’s a Tardis and has a little blue light on the top of it?
If that HUB came in black, would you have one?
(What has Chaos done?)
that poor flamingo never had a chance did he?
The itty bitty kitty vampires are adorable!
May’s new toy looks very intriguing. Did Chaos get into the ‘nip?
I luv teh Itty Bitty Committee! They are so cute!
I seriously crave at least one of those kitty hubs. Ya know, I think you could rustle up 100 of us kitty geeks and do a wholesale order, no problem (yeah, like you have nothing else to do ;-)).
Last night I tried to read Flirting with Danger, but I fear that I am more the serial killer/suspense/murder/thriller type but with gratuitous blood and mayhem and evil instead of the cutesy-sexy bits. Oh, well…
Link overload! ;o)
Me again with a genre question…cat-related paranormal romance? I might have to try it. I’ve already sent a message to Santa about the kitty hub.
Packaging can be frustrating.
That bookcase would topple in moments in my house. Cute vampire kittycats! Creepy-cute USB hub.
SciFiGuy, eh? Has the list? Must check out another blog……
Hehe 🙂 Got to love that USB hub!
errr, May doesn’t have a bald spot there does she?
You know they plan it that way. One of the cats distracts you, while the other gets into something else. 😉
I love that USB hub, and we could use several of those bookcases. Course that would last long.
I know a certain little boy who would love that spider!!
you know about the major giveaway stuff (some knitting) on the sewmamasew website – might be worth a shout out as there are a buttload of stuff being given away.
SciFiGuy.ca is a great link! I’m always on the lookout for a good book site! 🙂
That bookshelf would freak me out. I’d be constantly worried my books would end up on the floor a la The Mummy.
between the itty bitties and the spider, i was giggling and giggling.
and i kinda want that usb hub…
