Happy Friday! (9)

Another Friday, yippee! Once again, the past week has kicked my butt so I am ready for the weekend!  It's also time for Friday memes!
Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read.

This week's question is:  If you could have dinner with your favorite book character, who would you eat with and what would you serve?

Oh my goodness, this is so hard!  I would probably want to have dinner with Kira from We the Living.  We would probably eat something Russian like pelmeni or stroganoff.

I also wouldn't mind having dinner with the Black Dagger Brotherhood. ; )

Who would you like to eat with?


The Book Blog Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books.  It's a great way to meet new bloggers and check cool blogs!
This week's question is:  What is your favorite Halloween costume?

I love homemade, creative costumes.  I recently read online about someone who dressed up as an "unhappy camper", I think that sounds awesome!  So, in honor of creative, homemade costumes  I am posting a picture of my brother when he was about 5 or 6 in one of my favorite costumes ever!

My mom made this costume, including the triceratops head (it's papier-mache).  Pretty cool, huh?

I hope you all have a great weekend!

    Could you imagine dinner with the BDB!? I'd faint from the amount of testosterone and hotness in that room. I could see it being quite an event though, those boys always know how to have a good time.

    Homemade costumes are the most fun. (That dinosaur is awesome. Your mom is an artist!)

    I agree - I love homemade costumes! I love it when someone puts thought into their costumes instead of just buying something already made off the shelf.

    Holy crap, your mom did that? How in the world? Anything I did wouldn't look nearly as good. That picture is adorable, too.

Review: "Oleanna" by Julie K. Rose

Synopsis:  Set during the separation of Norway from Sweden in 1905, this richly detailed novel of love and loss was inspired by the life of the author's great-great-aunts. Oleanna and her sister Elisabeth are the last of their family working their farm deep in the western fjordland. A new century has begun, and the world outside is changing, but in the Sunnfjord their world is as small and secluded as the verdant banks of a high mountain lake. The arrival of Anders, a cotter living just across the farm's border, unsettles Oleanna 's peaceful but isolated existence. Sharing a common bond of loneliness and grief, Anders stirs within her the wildness and wanderlust she has worked so hard to tame. When she is confronted with another crippling loss, Oleanna must decide once and for all how to face her past, claim her future, and find her place in a wide new world. My Thoughts:   I was very surprised by what an absolutely beautiful story Oleanna is.  The ...

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over...

Mailbox Monday (49)

It's time for another Mailbox Monday post!  Once again I could not resist the cheap ebooks that Amazon and Barnes and Noble were promoting this week.  I really need to stop!  I already have more than I can read.  I also was able to spend a little time browsing at the library and I came home with a nice stack of books.  These days, I hardly ever get to spend time at the library by myself for more than a minute or two so it was wonderful to have time to just wander and see what I could find. Purchased (for kindle): The Color of Secrets by Lindsay Ashford The One I Was by Eliza Graham House of Bathory by Linda Lafferty   Purchased (for nook): One Night in Winter by Simon Sebag Montefiore  Becoming Queen Victoria by Kate Williams From the Library: The Messenger by Daniel Silva   The Ripper's Wife by Brandy Purdy Hotel Moscow by Talia Carner Brazen by Katherine Longshore What books did you get...
