HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

Hi there!  Happy New Year everyone, so excited to see what 2014 will bring :-).  Since this is a brand new start, and I have some goals I'd like to achieve in the coming year (with blogging and other things), here are my resolutions for 2014:

1.  Review more! -- I read so many great books; it's time I started reviewing the majority of them :).

2.  WRITE like there's no tomorrow. -- Finish a book...heck, finish 2 books by the end of the year.  I'm shooting for the stars blogging peeps!

3.  Get involved in social media. --  Even if you follow the blog regularly, I bet you didn't know that: I've had a twitter account since 2011!!  I joined to try and win a book (didn't get it, grrrr) and literally have 1 tweet.  I actually found my favorite read (Eleanor & Park) on someone's twitter.  I'm more of a lurker than an actual tweeter.  Ninjas prefer to stay in the shadows lol.  Still, must at least attempt to join the conversation :-).

4.  Stress less, get healthy. -- This is a no brainer.

5.  Be a better person. -- My overall goal in 2014 (in life) is to be a better, kinder, more thoughtful person.  I want to be a positive influence and somehow enrich the lives of every person I come into contact with.  A tall order, but again, shooting for the stars people.  And also, it never hurts to try!

So, there they are, my goals for 2014 :).  Did you have any goals for the new year?  If so, I'd love to hear them.  *deep breath*  I'm off to try the Twitter, hoping my ninja skills will hold up ;).  Wish me luck!

GOODREADS AND CHRISTMAS "CUPS"

 

Hi all!  I've reached my goal of reading 95 books this year.  (Actually, I've read 97.  YAY!).  It's been a truly great year in books.  Thanks to anyone who rec'd and reviewed.  I'd be lost without you :-).

Also, I recorded a few of my students doing the "Cups" tap dance.  It's far from flawless, but we had a lot of fun and met our Christmas goal :).  So darn proud of them!!

 

Have you met all your goals this year--reading or otherwise?  I hope so, and I also hope you're having a great weekend!

VERONICA MARS MYSTERIES?!?

 

So, I'm a huge Veronica Mars fan.  For real, I love Veronica and her fierce, marshmallow-y, overly curious self.  Wallace, her best friend, was A-mazing (proof that you can have a boy-girl relationship where they remain "just friends" and have it work).  I LOVED LOGAN!!  Like seriously.  It was a real thing--the only person I might've loved more was Weevil :).

Anyway, like so many others, I was devastated when they cancelled the show years ago.  One of the only great things on TV and they cancel?  Grrrrrr, so so wrong.

But check out what I just found on Publisher's Lunch:

"Rob Thomas' two original Veronica Mars mysteries"

 

Ahhhhh!  There are going to be Veronica Mars books?!?!?!?!?  Yessssssssssss!  Excuse me while I happy dance :)

 

 

V Mars in book form...I can't even...I am SO reading those books.  Any other Veronica Mars fans in the house?  I can't wait!!
