In Case You Are Wondering...

This is a picture of some of our workers and what they do as part of their job... Okay, not so much the standing around and getting their pictures taken, but you get the gist of what's going on... Not sure what it is they are building but if you go to our Niepe Construction Facebook page it might tell you - stop by and give the company a like if you can... My hubs is far left and still wearing his safety harness.

Two Movies I really Wanna See:~

I must admit that I loved 'The Host' more than I ever liked the 'Twilight Saga' - I am hoping they do the book justice.  Stephanie Meyer wrote a fantastic story and if you haven't already read it I am telling you now go get yourself a copy as you won't regret it.



This series 'The Mortal Instruments' was a complete and utter happy surprise when I read them as my sister recommended them and I was like "yeah, whatever." I got the first two books and had read them both over that same weekend.... Bloody brilliant so I have to thank Cassandra Clare and her awesome story telling gift.

Talking Books - Sherrilyn Kenyon's: The Dark-Hunters #7

The truth is I have been a little under the weather and I have been run flat off my feet. I tells ya, between dentist and doctor appointments with Emily and Mum I never have a minute to spare. Though seeing as once I get to these appointments I have plenty of time to wait, I have been re reading => Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series... I've just finished #7: Seize the Night

Blurb:

 Valerius isn't a popular Dark-Hunter he's a Roman, which means that the largely Greek Hunters have a major grudge against him and his civilization for superceding them. To make things worse, he's very conscious of his aristocratic background and breeding. So it serves him right when he runs into Tabitha Devereaux. She's sassy, sexy, and completely unwilling to take him seriously. (Not to mention that she's the twin sister of the wife of former Dark-Hunter Kyrian - Val's mortal enemy.) What Tabitha does take seriously is hunting and killing vampires - and soon she and Val have to grapple with the deadliest of all Daimons - one who manages to come back from the dead, and one who holds  a serious grudge against both of them. To win against evil, Val will have to loose up, learn to trust, and put everything on the line to protect a man he hates and a women who drives him nuts


Anyway after finishing this book I realised that this particular story in the series is one of the most pivotal points in this series between good and evil. I also realised that I think this is one of the best warrior series I have ever read. So much happens in this book which effects nearly everyone in the whole series. The Dark-Hunter's is definitely a series that needs to be read in order to get the full effect of the story-line.

If you haven't already read this series that I definitely think you should give it a go... once I finish with the Dark-Hunters I am moving onto the Carparthian series by Christine Feehan.

My Tatt is similar to this one but where as she holds pumpkin goo mine doesn't she holds a human heart... mainly so she matches in with my other horror/paranormal/gothic pictures in my full left sleeve.

New Years Resolutions:

This year I thought I would keep it simple and  only have two to try and stay on top of...
1 - Keep up with my writing (10 books to have subbed buy the end of 2013)
2 - Fix all the bloody head hopping in my WIPS (& boy is there a lot of it)
