Book Review

First Drop of Crimson (Night Huntress World #1)
by Jeaniene Frost

Finished: April 12, 2011
Rating: 4/5 stars


Thought this book was excellent. Really enjoyed reading a spin-off that actually involved the original series characters!

I thought Denise was a bit of a wimp, at first, but she grew into a great character.

Great book!

She Waits

April 1, 2011

She waits
Patiently perched beneath an Oak tree
The sun beating down
Its careless rays alight on her skin.

She waits
Promise swirling in the breeze
Like blown dandelion seeds
Their feather-weight caressing her freckled nose.

She waits
Always with hope
Though the sun bakes
And the weeds grow.

She waits
Her golden hair held aloft in the wind
Rising higher with each gentle breath
Then slowly falling back to earth at her shoulders.

She waits
Fingers twining though green grass
Braiding spring and youth together
In a portrait of time spent alone.

She waits
Always with love
Though the clock ticks
And the moon moves above.

Happy BIRTHday!

Welcome baby Clay to the world! You are amazing. Women never cease to amaze me with their strength!

Sophia

So, I'm standing there trying to get dressed this morning, thinking about how I want to go make coffee, but I really should get dressed first, when Sophie comes waltzing in. She's wanting something, as usual, little bloodsucker.. anyway, so she's talking talking talking, and I'm trying to find clothes. Next thing I know, Cole comes traipsing in, wearing Sophia's halloween costume.

Unfortunately, he has been unsuccessful in zipping the back zipper. He wants Sophie to help.

Well, what does Sophie have to say about this?

"You think you want to be a witch? Well I'm not zippin' it!!"

Right, seriously Sophie? You're not zippin' it? Goodness, kids say the darnedest things.

Awaiting Poetry

(Random Old Poem of the Day)
1/8/2003


He hooked and reeled me in, waiting.

His voice darted from shoulder to shoulder
Demanding comfort, somewhere to lay his head
Low.

Just to provoke a reaction I pushed aside what
Bound me to him, what I always knew was
Real.

His face flexed and I felt the shine
Fall from his eyes, into my deepest
Shadows.

The illusion fell from my lips, awaiting penalty.

The composure was forgotten and all emphasis
Fell to the stain, the mark I had
Branded.

His passion for me, now fetish driven, sank
Below my waist, and laid
Loose.

His voice faltered as he wandered solemnly out
Of his comfort zone, into some other
Culture.

The words fell from my lips, awaiting poetry.

Something left to brighten his day, make him happy.

His escape is overlooked.

Book Review

Forsaken (Fall of Angels, #2)
by Keary Taylor


Book Started: February 23, 2011
Book Finished: February 23, 2011

This was the second book in the Fall of Angels series, and I really enjoyed it. It was much darker than the first and somewhat depressing, but not so much that it depressed you to read it.

Huge cliff hanger of an ending. I hope there will be a 3rd!

Overall, a great book, but nothing life altering.

Cole

Yeah... don't ask.

Ok, I'll explain what happened... except...

Well... we're not really sure. Cole just went walking by, and my husband thought he was dragging the thing around the living room, so he keeps telling him to put it back... and Cole is just getting more and more frustrated. Paul (the husband in question) finally goes over after the third time he tells him to put the table back and realizes it's attached to his belt loop.

Who knows how he managed to accomplish it.... Paul had to twist it around in a circle just to unhook him...

Oh yeah... are his pants on backwards??
