The missing MEME’s

- Ambrosia Leave a comment

I am a bad girl. I missed booking through Thursday this week, and I will also miss Friday finds. Because I have been so busy all week preparing for renn fest and even with all that I still know I am going to forget something tomorrow. My mug probably cause its not been washed yet. And the man knows he has to wash it in the AM so we shall see. But next week with the first of the weekends out of the way things should be better. Oh yes and I can’t forget bobby pins and I have to pray for my hat pins. They haven’t shown up yet.

“I don’t mean that you set this up on purpose to get at Neferet. I just mean that I don’t think its smart for you, or any of usto come out against her publicly, and I don’t think it matters all that much that the Sons of Erebus and Shekinah are here.” Untamed by P.C and Kirstin Cast (forgot to write down the page number)

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about movies …

How do you react to movies made of your favourite books (or even not-so-favourite books)? Do you look forward to seeing them, or avoid them? Do you like to have read the book before seeing the movie?

Ah this is a great one to talk about. When a movie comes out about a book I know I admit I get a bit excited. Although if it’s a book I really like I do worry a bit about it. Because you know logically they can’t fit it all in. it’s just impossible to fit all the details and every part from a book into a movie. Sometimes I am happy with the movie and sometimes I am disappointed. Confessions of a Shopaholic was great, even if I was irritated they set it in NYC instead of London. But over all I liked it. But I was very disappointed with The Other Boleyn Girl. I know they couldn’t fit it all in, but I felt they jumped around way to much. But I most defiantly need to read books before I see the movies. It’s why I am so behind on watching the Harry Potter movies.

Sunday Salon # 4

Well another Sunday has come, and on a bad note I didn’t do much reading this last week. I was busy preparing for opening festival weekend next week, and getting costumes ready. Than Saturday was our cast picnic and when I got home I had to sleep. I was exhausted from heat, and staying up way to late when I had to get up early. But it was as always with festival worth it. We got our campsite which we will be setting up on Tuesday.

And than I got back on track, I finished Chosen and started a book for my historical fiction challenge. I am a good way through that and should be able to finish it today if I focus on it. Than I plan on catching up on the reviews I am behind on. So I feel like I am a little bit more on a plan there.

I am behind also on my article writing but I hope soon to catch up on that as well. While renaissance festival makes me tired when I go, it also jazzes me up. I get excited and I feel like I can do more things. Even with this evil cancer. After all if I can spend the day charming a King and Prince and thousands of patrons, why not catch up on some writing?


Friday Finds #17

The toughest case yet for Greywalker and P.I. Harper Blaine, “a great heroine” (New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris), has arrived.

Harper Blaine was your average small-time P.I. until she died—for two minutes. Now Harper is a Greywalker—walking the line between the living world and the paranormal realm. And she’s discovering that her new abilities are landing her in all sorts of “strange cases.”

But for Harper, her own case may prove the most difficult to solve. Why did she—as opposed to others with near-death experiences—become a Greywalker? When Harper digs into her own past, she unearths some unpleasant truths about her father’s early death as well as a mysterious puzzle. Forced by some very demanding vampires to take on an investigation in London, she soon discovers her present troubles in England are entangled with her dark past back in Seattle—and her ultimate destiny as a Greywalker.

“Enough!” I flung my hands out at both of them while I concentrated on the fact both of them needed a good spanking. Wind obeyed me and they were both knocked back in their seats as a small, concentrated gale surged around them. ~ page 141 Chosen by P.C & Kristin Cast

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about publishing houses …

Do you have a favorite publishing house — one that puts out books that you constantly find yourself wanting to read? If so, who? And, what books have they published that you’ve loved? (question courtesy of MizB)

That is a hard one, I don’t really look at publishing houses so much as I do authors. However, Bethany House has a few authors I like. That is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.


The Sunday Salon #3

So I feel like I have been a bad Sunday Salon writer. Because after joining the salon I haven’t really written much on Sunday, but it’s because I have been sick. And not only that but I am sick of being sick. Having Lymphoma has to be one of the hardest things there is. I don’t like to fuss or whine about it much. But lately it’s gotten harder. It has not only taken my ability to have a job outside the house, and now it’s been bothering my blogging, and my reading. I have fallen behind on my reading and I am not happy with it.

But I am slowly feeling a little better slowly feeling a bit more on track. I have written more reviews so far this month than I did last month. I had the books read, but hadn’t written the reviews yet. Yesterday I watched the movie The Weather Man, not a great one. This morning I am watching Profiler. And later today I am hoping to make some progress on my next book. Chosen by P.C and Kristin Cast, I am about 38 pages into it so far and it’s very good. So I am feeling a little better about that. And in 13 days the renaissance festival starts. That I am very much looking forward too. Sick or not I have to go. Sick or not I love the renaissance festival and it gives me the chance to enjoy it.
