A return to blogging....

Wow!
It's been awhile since I've done any sort of blogging. In my defense, life just ran away! What I mean is...I've been busy!
Ok, ok...maybe not too busy to sit and write something.

Anyhoo...

Mum listed the house for sale about a month ago. So far, we've had no bites. This led Mum to buy a St. Joseph's statue. Imagine how silly we looked, standing in the front yard, in view of everyone, as we buried the poor guy upside down!
That was a week ago. Rumor has it, it takes at least two weeks for the good ol' boy to do his job!

We've already looked at a few houses and have our eyes on two, in particular. One I absolutely LOVE!! It needs some cosmetic work (wallpaper, paint, etc.) but it's big and roomy and just felt like HOME when we toured it!
I've even gone so far as to start gathering pictures and ideas of decor for the room I would claim as my own!

Another fun and exciting thing I've started is writing book reviews for Mrs. Condit and Friends Reads Books (http://www.mrsconditreadsbooks.com/)! It's something I've always wanted to do and Mrs. Condit has given me the chance! I've been a little slow on the draw submitting my reviews, though.
Do you even realize how HARD it is to write a positive sounding review for a book that you really didn't like??? As a writer, I would never write a review that includes hurtful language. To cut down someone who loves what they do is horrible (I know...it's been done to me before and, unfortunately, I did the same to someone) and can take the joy out of the simple act of writing what's in a persons heart.

I would say a vast majority of the books reviewed are gay romance books.

Yes, I said GAY ROMANCE!
About a year ago, I was perusing Amazon, looking for something new, when I came across a book titled "Love the Sinner" by Avril Ashton. I liked the cover photo, read the blurb and thought, "why not?"
Holy holeeee shit! Gabe and Angel were so fricking hot that I read the book at least five times in a row!! I laughed, cried (Yeah, in bed reading and bawling my freaking eyes out), cussed, and fell so much in love with those two guys!!
After that, I went into a gay romance book buying frenzy!
Now, I have a long list of favorite authors; when they have a book coming out, I'm in the front of the line to hand over my money!
Avril Ashton, RJ Scott, AJ Llewellyn, Mercy Celeste, Mary Calmes, Jayden Brooks, Sandrine Gasq-Dion...the list is endless!

Note:  I wrote this awhile ago....and didn't finish and post. See...there's life getting it's claws in me again! :)
