Hi guys just a super quick update. I have recorded my review of the most recent Julia Quinn book (I completed it over a month ago never posted because real life got in the way). But I will try my utmost to get that posted this weekend. I just wanted you guys to know I have something and I will try to get that done. I've been watching more and more TV thus reading less and less books. But I want to change that (been saying that a lot but haven't picked up my reading) Oh well all I can do is say that I tried!
Please stay in touch and I will try my best to get this page back to its former glory!!
Take care and Happy Reading!!
Mindy

COMING SOON - BOOK REVIEW
Hey everyone I just wanted to drop a very quick note (probably my shortest post ever) that I will be doing a video review of Sandra Brown's Low Pressure. I feel that this is just one of those books where a video review would be better than a written review. I hope to get that done sometime this week and now...back to my day job and tonight hopefully I will get started on Julia Quinn's latest installment in the Smythe-Smith series. I know I said I was going to read the last Crossfire book and then Game of Thrones but I forgot that this book was coming out!! See you guys hopefully in a few days with that video review!!
Happy Reading,
Mindy

Sorry...
Hey everyone I just wanted to write a post to let you guys know why I haven't been around. I thought I was finally getting back into the swing of things (reading and reviewing). I guess I was then my dad got sick. He had been battling liver cancer for two years. At the beginning of this year he started getting a lot sicker. The cancer spread to his brain and pretty much everywhere in his body.
At the beginning of August he lost his battle with cancer and I've just been so very heartbroken over this. I knew it was coming because of how much sicker he got everday and how much weaker also. This was so hard watching the man who I thought could do anything be crippled by illness. He was our hero. He was a great man who would have done anything for anyone if he had the means and ability to do so.
I miss so much everyday and everyday see something, hear something or read something that reminds me of him. I know he is in a much better place than here on this Earth suffering and fighting. I know it is selfish of me to want him back here so I don't hurt anymore. I know I will always miss him and I know that there awill lways be an ache in my heart but in time I will not hurt quite as much.
So I really hope to be back into the grove I found myself soon.
Hugs,
Mindy

HOLY COW!!
HOLY COW I have not posted on this blog since December of last year?? First of all I want to sincerely apologize for my lack of posts/reviews. I have not read ANYTHING since reading the last book in the Hunger Games series. NO WAIT I take that back I read "Hollowland" by Amanda Hocking but for some reason I never posted a review of that...man my mind is slipping!
I have to be honest with you guys I have not even remotely felt like reading anything which worries me deeply! I hope this will be corrected soon because I want to read but my passion for it just isn't there for some reason. I hope this does not go on too much longer because I am liable to go crazy looking at the Mt. Everest of books in my TBR (to be read) pile!!
I think I know some of the reason and well my work schedule has become completely nuts working longer hours and never having any spare time to read at work (lunch, etc). Then recently my dad became severely ill. He has liver cancer in which they removed a tumor about a year and a half ago and since then it has spread to his brain and other places so I am trying to deal with all that emotion right now and it's hard to even think about reading.
Well I will let you guys go for now I do like to check in and let you know what's up with me if I haven't checked in for awhile. I hope you guys are all doing well and I will try my best to put up a review of "Hollowland" and I hope I can find my passion and love for reading again!!
Sincerely,
Mindy

Hellooooo...can anyone hear me??
Well hello my beautiful and wonderful readers!! Alas, it is your romantic book nerd back from the bed...well not really, LOL!
I hope you all have been doing wonderful. If not I hope things begin to look up for you soon! Because as my mom always told me if you get to the point in your life where you honestly and truly think you have hit the lowest of low that you could not possibly go any lower...well your in luck then...why? Well there is only one other way to go and that is UP!!
You are probably wondering about the crazy inspirational speech but I just wanted to let you guys know that I have not abandoned this blog. I've just found my reading time constantly dwindling what with work being crazy and our daily calendar packed full of things...to doing things with family and friends (I used to be more of a homebody but I've recently started trying to go out more...YAY ME!) to all these darn awesome TV shows coming on TV now! I mean seriously I'm surprised my poor DVR doesn't beg for mercy, LOL!!
But I think I'm headed in the right direction with my reading because last night was the first time in a LOOOOOONG time that I have read before going to bed. So I'm hoping that means I will be reading more, SUPER YAY!
This is mostly exciting because of the following:
1. I bought the new Kindle Fire and as we speak it is making its way to me right now!!
2. I still have at least 80 (or more) paperback books that I must read!
3. All of my favorite authors have refused my advice about giving me a break with all the wonderful books coming out!
4. Also, all the new authors I've found through Facebook keeping putting out books!
With all of that it is not surprising that I feel like I'm drowning in a see of books...but at least they have pretty covers, LOL!!
Well you guys I am going to quit rambling and I hope to have a new review up for you soon! I will also report to you on how much I love (I hope) my new Kindle. I used to say "I'm never getting a Kindle". Well when pretty much any available space you have is already filled with books you need to read you start reconsidering the previous statement. Also, I've already added about 20 books to my Kindle wishlist and some are free :) !!!!
Alright my fellow book nerds I'll catch ya later (hopefully sooner rather than later!!)
