So Life has been busy as hell lately, but i had yesterday off to catch up with my characters at

oneav and

post_bellum I'm having way too much fun with them.

Also I'm adding to the book list.

71. The Poisonwood Bible By Bararba Kingsolver, Fiction A story about a family that ends up in Africa on a mission trip and their struggle to make a change no only in the little African village as well as their struggle to make it back to the US. It took awhile to get into, but I liked it once I got into it.

72. Blood Price By Tanya Huff Fantasy. After witnessing an accident at a train station, Vicki Nelson, PI, takes an assignment to find the truth about a missing college boy, which in turn leads her straight to the front door of Henry Fitzroy, 450 year old vampire. Read it after being introduced to the character in one of my RPGs.

73. The Gift By Julie Garwood Romance. As child bride, Sara has spent her whole life believing that Nathan St. James was her night in shining armor, but Nathan was not what she expected, considering he's a pirate and all. Read before and liked it then and like it now.

74. Blood Trail By Tanya Huff Fantasy. Henry enlists the help of Vicki, when a close friend of a family of werewolves are starting to die. However, Vicki's ex-partner, Mike, shows up and things begin to go from bad to worst. Very good.

75. Shadow Dance By Julie Garwood Romance. Needing a change, Jordan decides to head off to Texas to learn more about the Buchanans of the past, only to be stuck there after a body shows up in the trunk of her rental car. I love this book...waiting for the next one.

76. Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women who created her By Melanie Rehak Non-Fiction
The story behind how Nancy Drew is an American Icon for young girls. Not a big non fiction reader and I love this book.

81. Bare Bones By Kathy Reichs Thriller. Trying to tie up loose ends for a vacation, Tempe's dog stumbles upon some bones that lead her into a twisted mystery of drugs, death and the black market. Good read.

82. Tithe By Holly Black Young Adult. Kaye has lived a life on the road with her rock star mother, but turn of events sends her back to Philly where she discovers the truth about her past and what she really is. Cute and a quick read.

So last week was our film festival and I have photos from the past weekend. Rider Strong was there so of course I have pictures of him and his brother as well as my family who was also there. Check them out if you want.

Me, Mom, Aunt Beth and Uncle Scott (Who is not actually my uncle...he's my aunt's brother-in-law, but I call him Uncle Scott)

The Willie Strings and the Players band...they were great.

My roomie, RIDER STRONG, me

Rider and my intern Alex

Uncle Scott and Rider...right after this picture was taken, my Uncle proceeded to flirt with him shamelessly...with his girlfriend no more than two feet away.
