In My Reading Life

I spent the whole week reading Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King. I’m still not finished with it. I don’t want to admit that I’m bored with a Stephen King book, but . . . I’m bored. I’m about 500 pages into it, and it’s so slow. I still have over 200 pages left to read. I’m hopeful that something super-awesome happens at the end. The most entertaining thing about the book so far has been trying to hold it without giving myself hand cramps. This thing is a beast.

In My Blogging Life

I hit 100 Twitter followers last week. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but I never thought I’d have that many.

Also, did anyone else find the responses to last week’s Top Ten Tuesday surprising? The topic was top ten books I’ll probably never read. I didn’t have an issue with the topic, but the way that some people approached it made me a little sad. A few bloggers have a lot of hate toward books that they haven’t even attempted to read. I guess I wasn’t expecting that level of passion. It was certainly interesting.

I’m still thinking a lot about blog design. I feel like mine looks very unprofessional, but I don’t know what to do about it. If anyone knows where I can get a better blog design without spending a ton of money, I’d love some suggestions.



In My Personal Life

It's still snowing! I keep seeing all this summer-time stuff on TV and the Internet, but someone forgot to tell Colorado. Here's what I woke up to this morning.

As always, thank you for reading my blog. I hope to “see” you later this week!
