Books! The July Edition.....in July

Well, hell. I'm still reading A Nameless Witch. Nothing's changed. This month I haven't had as much time for reading as I usually do. Homework + Overtime = Exhausted. At any rate, to make up for the lack of new booktastic goodness....please enjoy this photo of a hedgehog taking a bath.

In addition, I will share with you a delicious drink recipe I recently came across. It's called a Mallard-tini. Pour a giant mug of vodka. Add two baby ducks. Enjoy. (Remember, the ducks are garnish only. Don't drink them. Release them gently in a pond. And don't actually put them in a cup of alcohol first. Put them in a cup of clean, room-temperature water. Drink the vodka directly from the bottle instead.)


Last but not least, continuing the tradition of photographic slashy Boosh goodness......here's a little something nice.

Books!....The June Edition (In July)

I'm a few days behind on my June edition of "what I'm reading", but here we go.

Not as many entries for this month, as one book in particular took longer than I expected.

What I've finished:

Gerald's Game, by Stephen King


This book was very good but a tough, tough read for me. It took a long time for me to read through because I kept having to take breaks due to some really, what's the word I'm looking for?....intense scenes. It was very intense, or at least I found it to be so, also very intriguing and with a lot of unexpected turns.

What I'm reading now:

A Nameless Witch, by A. Lee Martinez




I'm about a third of the way through this book, and let me tell you- it is fabulous so far. A. Lee Martinez is the author of another book I just love, Gil's All Fright Diner. These books are a great, fun mix of comedy and horror. If you're a fan of Christopher Moore, as I am, there's a great chance you'll enjoy A. Lee Martinez.

In celebration of my continuing voyage through the awesome journey of The Mighty Book of Boosh, by Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, as previously discussed, I am again going to post some slashy (varying degrees) pics of the authors now.





Yum!! :D These two make the world a better place for me to live in, just by their existence.

As for books up next.....I'm planning to either read another King book, which may possibly be Rose Madder or possibly a different one, or perhaps if I get a chance to look for it at the library, the first of the "Sookie Stackhouse" books, by Charlaine Harris. I'm a huge True Blood fan and have been meaning to give the first of the series a try.
