Have We Finally Got a Cover?!

I was perusing through Facebook when I saw that Kelley Armstrong had been tagged in a picture of book covers and one of them was for The Gathering! If this is the actual cover then I give Harper a thumbs up because it's gorgeous, and fits in really well with the Darkest Powers trilogy. What do you guys think of the cover?


NOTE: This may not be the actual cover!

EDIT: I've just been informed that this is the actual cover, it was released a couple of days ago. LOVE IT!

Thank You Chidzy182!

Chidzy182 is genius behind Anne Brashare's trailer for My Name is Memory, which is absoluely stunning and if you haven't seen it before I've embeded it into the post so watch it! Anyway, I don't even know anything about this person other than their gorgeous book trailers...I don't even see a website. But I wanted to extend my gratitude towards this person for showing me the most amazing, mind-blowingly awesomest band ever.

While I was watching the trailer a couple of days ago I was really diggin' the music in it, so I looked the band up and I have been listening to them non-stop since I downloaded their (free) ep off their myspace page. They are my new obsession and I owe it all to Chidzy182 for putting them in the trailer. So thank you!

P.S. Go watch some more of Chidzy182's trailers!




And you should totally listen to the entire song from the trailer too!

An Exciting Twitter Chat!

I've never been one to join Twitter parties or chats, but I've found out about one that I am super excited to join! Cheryl Rainfield, author of Scars, is having a Twitter Chat on Wednesday, June 23rd at 7 pm! I am really interested in what she has to say and all the opinions of others who are joining the chat as well. I really hope to see you there!

Stair Master!

Today when I got home from classes I found this huge box waiting for me inside the garage, and I had the hardest time trying to guess what was inside. It didn't even cross my mind that it could've been the stairs I ordered for Runt...yesterday. I opened the box and was giddy with excitement when I discovered it was the little step stairs...and the best thing? They were already assembled, so all I did was pull them out of the box and place them by my bed.


The one thing that I really liked about these stairs was that they are carpeted, so they're easier on my boy if he doesn't quite get the hang of it on the first try and they won't scratch up my hardwood floor!


Honestly, I didn't have any bad experience whatsoever while working with CSN and I would gladly purchase more items for their store when I have the chance! Plus, Runt is pretty happy too! No more trying to jump up on the bed and making it halfway and then flopping onto the floor. This is what I would call a win-win situation!


Thanks Caitlin for giving me the opportunity to work with you!

Moving on...Down?

Recently my older sister moved out of the house and since I'm the second oldest child in the household now that means that I "inheret" her bedroom. Which makes me a happy girl because not only is her room bigger, but the closet is bigger, it has it's own bathroom, and more privacy!
When CSN contacted me about doing a review for one of their products I thought it was magic! Not only do I get a new room but something new for it! I looked through the enormous list of things they offer and started clicking away to find a new piece for my room. I considered everything from bookcases and lights, even bathroom vanities, but I decided to be selfless and get a little something for my dog...that's right, my dog.

Since moving into this new bedroom, I got a beautiful bed frame but it's very tall so my little bub can't jump up on my bed anymore! So this piece of furniture that I've decided to use this review for is the little step stairs for animals and I'm sure Runt will be very happy with my decision!

So stay tuned for my review!

Where Have You Been?!

I've been gone for a couple of weeks now and I, honestly, never meant for that to happen! As my readers know I'll be starting college soon...tomorrow actually, and I've been running around like a madwoman to get ready for it. But I felt like I owed it to you guys to give at least some kind of update, just to let you know I'm still alive and all. I don't know how much I'll be updating the blog now because I don't know how much time I'll be spending on college-related things. Plus, my sister's boyfriend (Hi KenAAn!) is gonna be visiting us for almost two weeks, and I'll be visiting family as well! So as you can see I'm gonna have a very hectic month or so with all the visits and starting college, but I'll at least make sure that I update you guys every once in awhile on things that are happening.

Schedule for the month:

June 8th--Start college
June 12th--Shalonda's wedding
June 13th--Kay Cassidy signing
June 29th--KenAAn's visit

Okay...it may not seem like that much to get done, but I'm kinda sweatin' over here! But I really hope to see you guys soon!
