Fablehaven Book Giveaway

Go to One Librarian's Book Review Blog for a Fablehaven by Brandon Mull book giveaway. You have until June 2nd to enter. Last time I entered a book giveaway on this site I lost, and only two people entered. That was just bad luck. Perhaps I will win this one.

Do you Haiku Twilight?

Not too long ago I had a Twilight Haiku challenge. Um, yeah, I didn't have a prize to giveaway. However, here is a Twilight Haiku contest that does! Yippee, the peasants (and Twilighters) rejoiced! Go to the Twilight Lexicon Blog for details on this awesome contest. The winner gets a Twilight poster signed by members of the cast. That is some cool stuff. I know I will enter.

On a completely separate note, I finally got a book review up on Wuthering Heights. Go to The Joy of Reading blog to read it.

Need Some Motivation

My blogging seems to come and go in spurts. Sometimes I do many posts, but now I'm in one of those zero posts modes. I hope nobody thinks I fell off the map. I'm still here, and I'm still reading books. I just need a little motivation.
Anyway, here is my excitement for today:

  • My boy had his end of year pre-school program (they called it graduation, but since he'll still be attending pre-school next year it's not really graduating is it?) I was a very proud mama, and had to hold back the tears.
  • We had an intentional accident involving a swing and a 4 year old's nose. There was lots of blood.
  • Finally, today is a very exciting day for Twilight fans. The first New Moon poster was released by Summit Ent. this morning.



I think the poster is wicked awesome. Many people have been complaining about everything imaginable, but to me it is pretty near perfect. I like it a lot better than the Twilight posters. I'm getting really excited about this film. So the other day I rented The Golden Compass movie, because Chris Weitz (the New Moon director) directed it, and also the music composer who did Golden Compass is also doing New Moon. I can't say much for the plot of the film, but the film itself was pretty good. It was very visually pleasing and the music was good. I have high hopes for New Moon.

Since I bailed on the haiku last time I feel it only proper to include one today.

Jacob looks real mad.
I think he misses his hair.
It's all Edward's fault.

Back to School Again

I know the title of this post must have you all confused considering the school year is almost over. However, my hubby just got accepted into his Master's program, and he is super excited. He starts in the fall, and hopefully we can manage with seeing even less of him around here (if that is even possible). He will be getting his Master's in educational technology, and the program is for 2 years. Yeah! I'm still a little nervous about his job security at the time being, but we're just going to stay positive for now.

No haiku for now. I'll think of one later.
