The computer is sort of fixed....

OK -- the computer is definitely going to the Sony Store....I paid Geek Squad to install a 250 G harddrive...and guess what -- I only have a harddrive of 141 G! Isn't that special?

Review Policy

Updated 5.1.12


Right now, I am super behind with my reading and reviews, so I am not accepting anything unless I already have a relationship with the author or you are working with a major publisher.  

I wish I could review every book that comes my way, but that is next to impossible and I can only get to those books that really interest me.  Thank you for understanding that this blog is my labor of love and that I don't even cover my expenses with the bit of advertising that comes my way.  



I enjoy reading Chick Lit, Paranormal - Urban Fantasy - Sci Fi - Fantasy, Young Adult and Memoirs/Biographies.  I do have eclectic tastes, so ask me!  I did get a nook but I find it very hard for me to read so I don't really care for ebooks. Have more questions?  email me


Publishers:  I adore debut authors, anything to do with dogs, entertainment or weirdness.  I have a weakness for romance,  historical fiction/nonfiction and humor.  I am happy to host an author for a giveaway, guest post or interview.

I post my reviews to:

Goodreads
Librarything
Shelfari
Amazon (Vine Voice)
Facebook Page

Why there is not enough Xanax in the world....

OR Why the Geek Squad should never be allowed to touch computers ever again.

I knew there was something wrong right from the start when my husband insisted on taking my laptop to Best Buy (AKA Worst Buy for Repairs). I should have said no right away. Instead of something simple wrong with my computer, every day brings a new issue. Today, the touchpad doesn't work. What will it be tomorrow? I don't think I can stand it anymore. It needs to go back to Sony and be fixed right....

Getting Ready!

I hope to have everything together to start January 1st!
I have lots of great plans to discuss books, give some books away, talk about my garden and of course, my dogs!
