I might be addicted to this series...

At 1am last night/this morning....

I read "Divergent" by Veronica Roth the other night. Yes, you read that right...one night. I couldn't put it down and read the whole thing in pretty much one sitting.  I loved the setting, the characters, the story line, the writing..all of it. Loved. It.

Now I'm all amped up to see the movie. I've heard it's getting pretty good reviews.

I was kicking myself after finishing the first book, because I bought it in paperback and didn't buy the whole series. Soooo....I really think I'm going to buy "Insurgent" on my Kindle. I really don't want to wait until I can go to the store and get the matching paperback copy of "Insurgent". The first one was just that good!

So what do you guys think? Any of you read the books and/or seen the movie? Without any spoilers, leave your thoughts in the comments below. :)

Black Friday Deals

I'm part of this Amazon Associates thing on Amazon.com, and because of that, I get a heads up on these special deals they have going on.  One of them is this:

Shop Amazon's Holiday Countdown to Black Friday Store

They have a lot of great deals going on even before Black Friday starts.  I'm sitting here as I type looking at them and drooling over some of the stuff...

Inheritance

I finally have it! Well, actually, I've had it since Wednesday...I've just had other things to write about and to do.

If you haven't heard of the Inheritance Cycle (or of the first book and movie of the same name, Eragon), you are truly missing out on something great.


Inheritance is the last book in the series. :( But I am over halfway through it (which attributes to my vast amount of procrastination last weekend), and it is amazing every step of the way. It's been a long time since I read one of those books you just can't put down, but in the last three weeks, I've read two (the other is Monty Roberts' The Man Who Listens to Horses). Inheritance is definitely one of them.


I won't talk about the plot, for those of you who have read Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr, so as not to ruin it for you before you finish it. But I will say that it is amazing what Christopher Paolini has done once again. I am in love with this book, and for those of you that want it, it is in my store. You won't even have to leave this website to buy it. :)


So take a look, and for those that are already reading it, enjoy! :)

A Little Slice of My Life Now Has Its Very Own Store!

Hey everybody! Check this out.

My blog now has its own store...courtesy of Amazon.

You can find most of the books, movies, TV shows, horse products, etc. that I talk about on here.  There is also a tab specifically with links to the things that I have bought for/dealing with Orion - titled "Orion's stuff".

All of those books that I've bought and told you about in the past few months?  They're in the "Books" tab, along with many other books that I have read and enjoyed over the years, plus some that I would like to read in the future.

Specifically under the books tab, is a subcategory called "Horse Fiction".  Within this, there are several book series that I read growing up that led to my love of horses before I ever set foot near one.  There is one very important series missing, that I will be adding later, as it is very very long, and I didn't have time to put it together today.

There is a "Movies/TV" tab that showcases many movies and TV shows that I like, as well as another subcategory within that which is specifically for horse lovers.

If anyone has any additions that they think should be added to the store, be sure to let me know!  I'm excited to get this going.  It's not a huge money-maker for me personally, but to make it easier for other people to enjoy the books/DVDs/horse equipment that I like excites me like you would not believe!

So here you go; you can either click the page tab above, or enter the store here:
