Too Little Time

So, as the name of my blog implies, I've got too little time. I haven't posted in a very long time and I feel bad. I'm taking online classes in addition to classes at my local community college in addition to having two little girls and a husband. I'm tired. Anyway, my online classes are over for a month and I'm looking forward to having a little time. I'm still taking Organic Chemistry, Pilates, Yoga, and French though, so forgive me if I disappear. I will be trying my darndest to post more often.
I did want to say that my favorite book just came out in paperback!

The Gargoyle

The Gargoyle

This was a beautiful story that I've raved about before and I highly recommend it. There is some foul language, so this is my disclaimer!

Alice in Wonderland

There is very little in this world that I've ever been more excited for than this! It's my favorite book of all time, so to make a Tim Burton movie out of it is complete genius! I love Tim Burton!



Thank you GreenBeanTeenQueen for posting this!

Trust

So I'm having a couple issues currently regarding trust. When a trust is broken, how do you fix it? Where do you draw the line? When has it gone too far and is unrepairable? I've never dealt with these things before and am having a hell of a time figuring out what to do. When there are kids involved everything possible should be done before deciding that a problem cannot be solved, but how? What am I supposed to do to get back to a relatively stable trust? It will never be the same again, but how do I get to an acceptable place?

Sorry for being so cryptic, but I don't really want to go into detail. If anyone wants to be my counselor and find out the details, e-mail me.

The Treasure Map of Boys

This is my post of the description for The Treasure Map of Boys: Noel, Jackson, Finn, Hutch--and me, Ruby Oliver, it was obtained from Goodreads.com
The Treasure Map of Boys: Noel, Jackson, Finn, Hutch--and me, Ruby Oliver (Ruby Oliver, Book 3)
Ruby is back at Tate Prep, and it's her thirty-seventh week in the state of Noboyfriend. Her panic attacks are bad, her love life is even worse, and what's more: Noel is writing her notes, Jackson is giving her frogs, Gideon is helping her cook, and Finn is making her brownies. Rumors are flying, and Ruby's already-sucky reputation is heading downhill. Not only that, she's also: running a bake sale, learning the secrets of heavymetal therapy, encountering some seriously smelly feet, defending the rights of pygmy goats, and bodyguarding Noel from unwanted advances. In this companion novel to The Boyfriend List and The Boy Book, Ruby struggles to secure some sort of mental health, to understand what constitutes a real friendship, and to find true love--if such a thing exists.

I'll definitely write more after I read it!

I'M SO EXCITED!!!

I just checked the mail and there are no words for how happy I was! I got an ARC! My first ARC from a non-contest source! Straight from the publicist! It was one I wanted so bad too! I've been waiting to read this since last fall!

The Treasure Map of Boys: Noel, Jackson, Finn, Hutch--and me, Ruby Oliver (Ruby Oliver, Book 3)

I'll write more soon, once I've read it! I'm so excited!

Um, I Did a Bad Thing!

Okay this is one of the pictures from yesterdays books!


This is the other one (not pictured are: A Confederacy of Dunces and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society)!

This is my haul from Powells!

This one is Bookmooch and Paperbackswap!

This one was the other Hastings this week!

So Hastings had this coupon. Buy 2 get the 3rd YA book free. Big trouble. In addition to my MCAT study guide (which I will just say was far too expensive) I left the store with 14 other books! 14! And that's not to mention all the other books I've aquired in the past two weeks via Powells (yay!), more Hastings, Bookmooch, and Paperback swap! I had to take a few pictures to get all of them in!

Back!

I'm back from Portland and I had a blast! The girls were both so happy and enjoyed themselves thoroughly! I wish we could have stayed!

Classes started and I'm taking Yoga, Piano, and Sociology of Marriage and Family. Yoga is four days a week for an hour and a half, so I should get rid of some of my shapes.

I'm reading Lord of Misrule. The fifth book in Rachel Caine's Morganville Vampire series. I'm truly loving this series. It's gone by so fast! I read the first four in no time at all! There are so many great books coming out soon though, it's going to be hard to get all of them!
Here's some great ones coming in the rest of this year:
Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink
Blue Moon (The Immortals Book 2) by Allison Noel
Catching Fire (Sequel to The Hunger Games) by Suzanne Collins
Fade Out (Morganville Vampires Book 7) by Rachel Caine
Blood Promise (Vampire Academy Book 4) by Richelle Mead
Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen
The Van Allen Legacy (A Blue Bloods Novel) by Melissa De La Cruz
Killers (Pretty Little Liars #6) by Sara Shepherd
Treasure Map of Boys (Roo 3) by E. Lockhart

So Many Books, Too Little Time!
