I'm Alive!

Hello all! School is still a bloodsucking beast that takes up all of my time. My hard work is paying off though. Now two months later I finally found a new background. I found it at Dotty dot dot's page.

I'm excited because I do have a book to review on it's way. I'm so excited to get it! I'm thinking about revamping the blog a little more. I want to review more than books now. I don't read like I use to, but I watch movies a lot.

I'll be back soon!

Hello all!

I feel like I've been slacking for the past week. I made the mistake of buying House season three last weekend... So that's what I've been doing for the week. Then my mom kidnaps me to St. Augustine for a mother/daughter weekend. It was so much fun. I took a tour of Flagler College and I'm completely sold on it. It's only forty-five minutes or so from home too.

I have been reading. I actually got my first ARC in the mail a week ago. I cannot get into it whatsoever. I'm so glad that I've almost finished it. So I'll probably be having a contest in another week so that everyone can fight to get a copy of The Midnight Charter with a sample audio CD. I'm apparently the only one that doesn't like this book right now so there might be something wrong with me.

Well, I've gotta run. School starts back up in a week so I need to get my sleep schedule back on track =)
Peace <3

In My Mailbox// Home!

Okay, so this shouldn't be called In My Mailbox (which brought to you by Kristen) at all. It should be "From My Library", but eh. I picked up six books that I've had on my list to read for a while now. The September Sisters, I Know It's Over, Godmother: A Secret Cinderella Story, I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone, Beastly, and Saving Juliet.


I'm home at last! Camp was amazing - I'm so glad I went. I think everyone needs to get involved in a church now - or something religious. It was a real eye-opener. Yesterday was my mom's birthday too. It's been a busy week already! I'm hanging out with Amanda today so I'll pick up a book later on =)

For the next week

I'm going on 'vacation' next week. Well, it's really Church Camp. I wish I wouldn't have signed up to go since I hate things like this... I couldn't totally do ALA or BEA since I can probably discuss books for ages, but camp? I'm a very relaxed Christian so I doubt I'll get along with everyone. I hope I manage *le sigh*

I leave Sunday and I should be back late Friday/Saturday morning. I will have my cell on me, but I have no idea if I'll have signal or not. If you want to reach me while I'm gone it can be done by emailing me at thebooknerdette@yahoo.com or howell_m@live.com

Also I made a MySpace for this blog (don't shoot me!) which can be found here. I also just got a copy of Suite Scarlett that I won from What Bri Reads <3


Eh, I gotta run. My boyfriend is rushing me. =)

Peace

For the week of 7/5

This is going to be a fun week for me. First things first: I changed the name of my blog. Eclectic Reviews had already been used several times and I would have used dawn somewhere but I didn't want to seem like I was mimicking my good friend Amanda to much. I also got a new background and I like the template a lot more then what I was using before. It seems a lot neater and more organized to me now.

Now for what's coming up. I went to Books-A-Million earlier today, which is like my heaven on earth (that as well as several other large book chains and the library) which turned out to being having a sale. I now have five brand new books (one of which I've read before, but for $4 I just couldn't say no to).



I went a head and bit the bullet and bought Rumors by Anna Godbersen.


I finally found Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Ever since I saw the movie, I've been hunting for this book.


Evernight by Claudia Gray


Evermore by Alyson Noel


Just Listen by Sarah Dessen

Here's a little question for you book-buffs: Where did this quote come from?

"Not all who wander are lost."

Most people will know this =)

Have a good week!

Happy Fourth of July!

Just stopping in to wish everyone in the United States a happy fourth of July! It's also my grandpa's 79th birthday today. I pray that he has a bunch more in him as well. With it being his birthday that means there's going to be ice cream cake in about two or three hours - yes!
Yummy.

So how are you celebrating today - if you are?
Or, what's your favorite holiday?
Mine's a tie between Christmas and New Years - the most festive time of the year.
