New Hobby, In My Mailbox and a Winner!!

Hey Everyone! I  Will start by announcing the winner of either a signed copy of AWAKENED BY A KISS or THE PRINCESS IN HIS BED by Lila DiPasqua. Thanks everyone who entered the giveaway. It was a lot of fun to read everyone’s pet peeves!

The winner is…. Jessica (@ Laugh Love Write) who said:

Okay so pet peeves - An unhappy ending! Authors are trying to mix things up by giving a not so happy ending to their romance and it drives me crazy. Romances are supposed to have happy endings, they are love stories, they are not supposed to break your heart and leave it broken. I can handle it if the unhappy ending gets remedied in a sequel but when they leave it unhappy, it drives me nuts and makes me sad.

Congratulations Jessica! I will email you in a few minutes. You have 48h to answer my email or I’ll have to redraw.

In My Mailbox!

I haven’t done that in quite some time, but this week I received a few review copies that made me Squeeeeeeee *g*

- Lila DiPasqua sent me a copy of The Princess in His Bed with a lovely message in it. Merci Beaucoup Lila!!! I can’t wait to meet these heroes *g*

- Kieran Kramer sent me an ARC of Dukes to the Left of Me, Princes to the Right with lots of amazing bookmarks. Again Le Squeeeeee!  I had to laugh at the message encouraging me to keep knitting *g* Thank you Kieran!! (and I won’t give up knitting I promise!)

This week I also got things I’d ordered some times ago:

- Dvds of Downton Abbey. I LOVE this series. I was hoping there would be an ending but since the series will have a 2nd season next year it ends up in some kind of cliffhanger *sigh*. Still it’s one of the best shows I’ve seen in ages.

- My copy of When Harry Met Molly. Which I started yesterday *g* I couldn't resist waiting longer.

I have started reading too many books at a time and now I have to put them on hold to read books for review. I have been a very bad reviewer this last 2 weeks. It’s time I make up for it. =P

Ohhhh and my last Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee moment? Yesterday I opened my Sony Reader to start Arcane Circle by Linda Robertson and OMG, Susi & I are mentioned in the “Extra thanks”…*swoon*

New Hobby !

So I decided to start Knitting. It happened less than 2 weeks ago after reading a post by Alea @Pop Culture Junkie . It’s all new to me and I’m learning by myself so we’ll see how this goes ;).  My main problem being that I’m learning by watching youtube videos and reading websites in English, which means I sometimes struggle to find the corresponding yarn in European sizing. Same with needles. But otherwise I think I’m doing ok.

This is the first  knitting project I ever made. lol It’s a snood.  It’s ugly and the stitches are very irregular but I don’t really care…I made something!! Woooot *opening Champagne bottle* lol

And here’s my stash! Ohhh and see at the top on the left? This is the bear I knitted, his named is Maurice (my MOM chose the name lol).  I also have a secret project, which is not on the pictures…because it’s a SECRET! lol

So this is it for me…I spent last week knitting and listening to audiobooks. I’m getting very fond of Audiobooks. Right now I’m listening to Side Jobs by Jim Butcher. I love it so much  think that when next book comes out I’ll buy the audiobooks rather than a print copy. The narrator is fantastic!!!

have a great week everyone!
