| So my amazing virtual assistant (Florence Price) found this cool website (here) that does custom CDs, and she turned my Witch Way to Turn playlist into an album! I'm stoked!! This will make a perfect giveaway! |

| Okay, let's discuss random... I really wanna know the answer to this, so leave a comment or tweet me cos I'm curious! Please and thank you :) This is my favorite peanut butter cracker. How many bites does it take you to eat one of these crackers? I need to know if I'm normal or not :P (Oh, I'll go first. I can eat one of these crackers in one to two bites.) |

| Rusty pup was annoyed that I was taking his picture while he was trying to sleep. Yes, I torture him. Hey, if I don't, who will? ;) |
EXTRA bit of random:
As you know, I went to see a pre-screening of Warm Bodies last Thursday! It was FANTASTIC, and I definitely recommend you see it...but the book is still my first love! So if you haven't read the book...go here (Amazon US) or here (Amazon UK) or here (Barnes & Noble) and buy it. Seriously, you won't be disappointed! Isaac Marion's writing is beautiful and his sense of humor is EPIC. (Stalk him here...I do!)
Great blog! I am always intrigued. In my humble opinion, the crackers are (one) bite size! And I love Rusty the angel pup!!
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you! You're not partial at all ;) lolz One bite, yess!
DeleteI'm so excited you decided to attend RT with me this year. We're going to have a fabulous time! I want a CD! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited too! We're gonna have a blast! I wish I had a steampunk dress to wear tho! *pouts* LOL Yay, CD! :)
DeleteSo sad I can't go to RT, but will have to make do with RWA. :) Can't wait to read Becoming--the title alone is completely awesome! Not to mention the cover!
ReplyDeleteIn my random past experience with those kinds of crackers, they were two bite if you wanted to be polite. But I could cram a whole one in my mouth if no one was looking. LOL
I wish you could come to RT too! I'm so looking forward to our trip to RWA! And you will pitch, if I have to drag you in there and hold your hand!! ;) ALAYM needs an agent!!
DeleteLOL, okay good to know! I normally just do one bite too! :P But ya know, Banshee gotta eat!
You always have the most entertaining blogs!
ReplyDeleteHi D'Ann! Awww, thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoy it =D
DeleteI wish I was going to RT this year, but I want to have a book out first. So next year it will be. Great Wednesday post.
ReplyDeleteNext year for sure!! Thanks so much, Ella! :D
DeleteMan, you are a busy chickie! Fantastic about finishing Becoming! And that's awesome you will be attending the RT Convention as well. :) By the way, I love those peanut butter & honey crackers too. And yes, two bites on this end as well. :)
