Thanks for hosting!

Re allergies - I had a running nose for 1.5 yrs and only stopped once I began using steroid inhaler. I'm fine now, as long as I use it daily - You're right though - it really does cloud the brain and hinder productivity.

Best of luck on your editing and critiquing ventures. You really do pack it in. :) X

I loved the Lacemakers too. I have to read it. Now you've got me wanting to see if I will react the same way!!!

I wonder how I will react to the book.

Hmm, I'm sorry to hear that this one didn't quite work for you Robin. Still, we appreciate you being a part of the tour!

nothing like a short holiday - glad you have come sparkling new - herbs great - but was the chicken manure for them - bit rich no?

anyway keep smiling and all best for this week

The garden sounds delightful! I’m sure it will be great as the plants grow and fill in. Sounds like you taking time off has provided the break needed to get back to the edits. Good balance of fitting in reading as well. Have a great week, Robin!

Happy Mother's Day. I love growing herbs, so have fun!

And it's good to take a break when you can, you come back refreshed.

Glad you are feeling refreshed and wishing you a great week of edits! The garden looks awesome. I really want to start an herb garden, and think that this year I might try something small and see how it goes. I love having fresh herbs for when I cook! :) Have a great week and happy mother's day!

Robin, the computer thing... ack, I will hold my tongue, since I can't even speak as a tech support person who almost never does backups.

But the books--WOW! I don't blame you for being derailed. What an excellent list. Here's to oodles of inspiration!

2012-05-10T18:46:30.678-07:00

I'm smiling to think of your lesson-free week.

As livers of a lesson-free life, I know for certain that there was learning aplenty going on!

I love weeks filled with books and freedom....

Bon appetit!

2012-05-10T16:25:43.010-07:00

That's quite a week! Glad you were able to restore the hard drive info, but what a hassle!

A reading bucket list...Oh, you're putting such thoughts in my head!

I love to read and to write and I think any writer...

2012-05-10T10:10:51.560-07:00

I love to read and to write and I think any writer who doesn't is like a diver without breathing apparatus. IT makes no sense.

So no, if derailed somewhat by anything, reading is a productive fork road. I read mosts all day on and off - fiction on the road or at m=night before bed, and non-fiction (mostly blogs etc) during the day. If I'm not reading I'm writing or occasionally watching movies/dramas. I love nurturing my imagination or feeding my brain. Physically I'm ridiculously idle, but mentally not so much :) Hope you strike up a balance next week. X

2012-05-10T05:28:12.004-07:00

I've been a fan of Weiland's for some time now...I can't wait to read this series. I'll probably like to it in a post series!

Sorry to hear of your computer troubles. I had my own I-will-choke-someone-don't-make-me-do-it-honey incident this week. My son opted to begin a charter school mid-year - and I've been extremely happy with them overall. The classes are intense and challenging - and he's got to really hustle... his first five-page research paper - an honest to goodness economics class - and an elective geography class that is even challenging to me (and I ♥ maps too much to talk about...lol)
Anyhoo....it's an online login to each course. No prob, right? Except I watched my son log in two days in the last week - yet received an 'absent' notice. When I attempted to correct the problem - I met with 'Ms. Rude and Condescending' - and she eventually made introduction to the business end of Ms. Notariani. Phew... I rarely go all clipped and business-formal.

Ha! Hope your all straightened out!

Good luck with the next check-in. Nice button! I don't remember seeing them--I'll have to poke around a bit.

2012-05-09T17:32:55.200-07:00

Oh there are so many books I want to read..my TBR list goes on forever and ever! lol Hopefully this summer I can take a good whack at it though that will probably just lead to me adding more, lol! Hope that everything goes well with the hard drive. Have a great week/weekend!

Glad that the information wasn't lost forever!...

2012-05-09T17:03:32.753-07:00

Glad that the information wasn't lost forever! I think a critique class would be very cool!

You homeschool, too?

I haven't read ANY Nora Roberts. Is there a good book to start?

2012-05-04T09:59:33.361-07:00

Oh. What a great idea to list your TBR pile for the next coming weeks. Over at the blog Bodice Rippers ...there's a blogger who is starting a blog about TBR piles (she's working with a few others I think)...anyway...they're asking for bloggers to leave lists of their books-in-waiting. You should so add yours! I might give it a whirl...if I can steal a few minutes.

Have you choked the air out of Inner Critic yet? Ha...your comment was so funny!

2012-05-04T04:58:47.459-07:00

The In Death series is one of my favorite on audio. As as for One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez -- I was *never* in the mood. I tried at least 3 times.

2012-05-03T19:05:19.381-07:00

I don't write much fiction, but I love when my friends who write fiction use techniques I use in my acting to flesh out the characters I am portraying.

It inspires me so much!

Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting. It means a lot to me!

My mom loves the J.D. Robb books and eats them up like candy. It makes gift shopping very easy for me! With mother's day coming up, these are the things that cross my mind ;)

2012-05-02T18:04:37.884-07:00

It is always a decision on whether to read or listen to the In Death series. I read the latest installment only because it came in first! Have a great reading May!

2012-04-30T20:29:46.508-07:00

Oh wow, what a cool thing to have come out in the interview! I love when my characters reveal things that surprise me like that. Hopefully the new series ones will soon. Good luck with your goals, and have a great week!

Do the ones in my head that answer back count?? LOl!! Have a great week!
