I Am Switching Teams!

I Am Switching Teams!

I’m a fan of Twilight, I don’t think that’s any secret around here.  Even though the first movie frustrated me with Bella’s lip biting and head wobbling, the missing pieces and the bits thrown in that weren’t even in the book… I’ve still watched it again.  Ok more than once, leave me alone!
While reading the [...]

Het Boekenfestijn

Het Boekenfestijn

I got these eight books for only €27!  Not a bad deal at all!
This past weekend I visited Het Boekenfestijn in Ahoy, which is a huge book festival that is held once a year to sell off books that were left over from the year’s stock.   I had never been and was curious about what [...]

My Scarpetta Movie Castings!

My Scarpetta Movie Castings!

Around this time last year I did a post about what my choices would be for Stephanie Plum Movie Castings, if she were ever to come to the big screen.  There has been a lot of debate about it, but I still stand firmly behind my selections.
The other day I saw an article on the [...]

Book Review: The Birthing House

Book Review: The Birthing House

This is quite possibly one of the worst books I have ever read.  A friend loaned it to me together with an entire bag of other books.  She went through them quickly with me but she admitted she bought a few of them simply because of their covers.  They do all have very cool and [...]

Thought The Twilight Saga Was Over?

Thought The Twilight Saga Was Over?

Think again!  If you want more Edward and Bella, I have the perfect story for you!
** SPOILER ALERT! ** – If you haven’t finished the original four books, stop reading here as the synopsis of this fan fiction story contains info you don’t want to see yet.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Seriously, stop reading now [...]

Twilight - The Story I Hate to Love

Twilight – The Story I Hate to Love

I recently decided to pick up the wildly popular series of Twilight books.  I’ve heard so much about them but always had other things I wanted to read first.  When the movie came out, I felt a bit pressed for time, because I really wanted to see the movie, but not without reading the books [...]

My Stephanie Plum Movie Castings

My Stephanie Plum Movie Castings

I’ve been reading the most fantastic series of books lately, and I’ve pretty much forced all my close friends and family to start reading them as well.   It’s the Stephanie Plum Series by Janet Evanovich.   They are about a girl who loses her job as a lingerie buyer and ends up blackmailing her sleezeball cousin [...]

The Odd Struggle

The Odd Struggle

I have been reading the book Odd Thomas for over a month.   I’ve been dying to read this book for quite a long time and when I got a gift certificate from work for the big book store in town, I went out and bought it.   I also bought the next book in the series, [...]

Recent Read: Mahlangeni by Kobi Kruger

Recent Read: Mahlangeni by Kobi Kruger

I recently finished reading this book, and I loved it.   When I was in the south of France a few months ago my brother-in-law gave it to me to read because he loved it as well.  He had spent some time in South Africa and picked it up while he was there.
I’m sure [...]

Against the Grain

I hate when I read or watch something that the rest of the world raves about and seems to think it’s the best thing since sliced bread, and I don’t like it.  It happens quite often, like with the Kill Bill movies… or Monty Python.   It makes me feel like I have no taste, or [...]

Books Books Books!

Well I finally got around to getting my Books Page started! I still have a fair few books to add to it as I remember them, but at least I got it up and running. So check it out!
Next I’ll be working on Movies / TV pages, those ones are going [...]

Who’s Calling?

This morning at 6:30am (approx 40 minutes ago) I was laying in bed and heard the phone ringing in the livingroom. The phone in the bedroom is broken and by the time I was awake enough to realize the one in the livingroom was ringing I knew I wouldn’t make it in time. [...]

What’s Happening?

I have urges, and I think they have something to do with my age. Turning 30 has not only made me somewhat panicky about whether we are going to be able to start a family, more aware of the grey (not even grey, WHITE) hairs growing on my head… but now I have [...]

Pawn not Porn!

I just saw the comment left for me by Xenoguy and it reminded me that the guy in my class told me the name of the author of the book I’m looking for. So I jumped up and scurried around looking for my bag, which hasn’t moved since my vacation started.. I’m such [...]

Back to School

Yesterday we went to see the mortgage people again to see about buying this place we are living in. It still seems a bit strange for me to pay an amount that could get a large house with a swimming pool back home, to buy a 2 bedroom condo/apartment here. This is one [...]

Hot!HOt!HOT!

Hot!HOt!HOT!

Good grief! It was 36 degrees (celcius) in Holland today. I swear to god I lost a few pounds today just from sweating so much! Attractive huh? I bet you’re reading this now and thinking I’m just so damn sexy! Well whatever, I’m too hot to care right now. It should [...]

Walking My Ass Off

Walking My Ass Off

June is here and I have officially started my diet. So far so good, I’ve been getting up at 5:30-6am and going walking, and have even been doing my aerobics video. Well only twice so far but I’ve only been dieting for two days. I lasted 20 minutes with the video yesterday [...]

Psycho Hubby

The sun is shining today in Holland and I can’t be arsed to do anything. I’m feeling soooo lazy.. not that this is a rare occurance of course. It’s pretty much a constant state, but I mean where would I go? Getting groceries can only get so exciting. On the plus side, they have [...]
