Oh yeah, I'm awesome.

I've done it!!! I've really done it!!!

31 days of non-stop blogging.

I declare that I'm a NaBloWriMo winner, and it feels fantastic!!!

For all you newcomers I'm normally a M-F type of girl, and that's exactly what I'm going back to!

However something else is in the works for November...

NaNoWriMo!

For those of you who have joined and need a writing buddy I'd love to be yours!!! (Username: Jen_Unedited)

What are you going to write about? What is everyone working on that isn't participating in NaNo? (yeah, I'm keeping this short and sweet)

Ode to Halloween

Yay!!!!!

We made it!!!!!

Tomorrow is Halloween!!!!

You know what that means?

PARTIES!!!!

Are you going to one? What are you dressing as?

My husband's birthday is also tomorrow so we'll have an even better time!!!

So I'm off to help decorate the party! Pictures to come! You'll love them!

Reading... Yeah I love it

I'm an addict. I know, I know, we've had this conversation before, being an addict, can't break the habit of blogging, writing, and reading. It's a cycle that we fall into... hey, at least it's legal.

Since it's friday what better way to end the week than to show off some newly purchased books that have been on my TBR list for a bit...













Pretty right?

Barnes & Noble is so good to us, showcasing all the lovelies along a beautiful wall... just waiting to be read! If only I was a millionaire, I would have bought the whole wall! Since I finished reading one already this week I wanted to share a small review with you... picking up a book this week make sure you have Girl, Stolen within that handful of yours!

Confessions of the Sullivan Sisters by Natalie Standiford, reccommended by Lisa & Laura... it's bound to be good, the synopsis will knock you off your feet!

Wildthorn by Jane Eagland, this one is all about the cover, pure elegance, but the story sounds like a whirlwind, can't wait to share my thoughts!

Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green & David Levithan, a novel I won on the blog!!!!

Girl, Stolen by April Henry, which I completed first after picking up the novel. The cover alone swept me off my feet. Cheyenne Wilder is sick with pneumonia, her step mom Danielle walks into a pharmacy to grab her medication, and the next thing Cheyenne notices is that she's been kidnapped. What's worse is that Cheyenne is blind. This story keeps you on your toes. Being kidnapped is one thing, but April bends her way through a world unlike any other, the descriptions will leave you breathless, imagining for just a moment what it would be like to be in Cheyenne's shoes. When you think the twist and turns have stopped April will be one step ahead of you. It's a wild and riveting ride you're sure to love. After you're done reading you'll want to visit her blog/website, how she researched for this book was amazing, who she met along the way, who proofread her novel. April really did capture the essence of being blind thanks to a wonderful team of experts.

I also had the pleasure of helping a few girls out with their book choices, who knew it could be so rewarding!!! So what are you reading?

Truth Thursdays

You know this is one of my favorites... I mean I'm seriously in love.

Why? Well I guess part of it is the fact that I get to talk about myself... I mean, who wouldn't love that?

So here are my thoughts.

1. I love vlogs. Every stop I make and see one puts a smile on my face. I have this urge to try it out... but I fear that you may think it blows, and then where would we be? (If you think it would suck less than what I think let me know and I'll consider it for November)

2. Michael Meyers terrifies me. Give me Jason and Freddy Kruger, combined they don't even touch the Halloween terror. If you visit my Halloween party with that mask (if you would you're seriously messed up) expect to walk out with bruises before you meet any guests... Jamie Lee Curtis has nothing on me!

3. My husband and I are adults now (don't worry I'll tell you why) since moving to Houston we've been without a dining room table, well now we have one. Though it's yet to really be used come december in the new apartment it shall get tons of use while I write (more or less stare out the beautiful bay windows - pictures to come).

4. Sleeping is something I cherish, but lately the dreams have been scary. That Collector that you all know and love (for those of you who don't know he's a serial killer who haunts my dreams, dying to be written) has returned, along with a new one on the loose. Oh the creepy holiday is in full swing!

5. My cooking sucks. Okay that's not fair... it's more like non-exsistent. I long to cook dinner like a normal wife (at least the stereotype) for my husband, but take-out, pizza and drive-thrus seem to be my specialities. Any ideas to help me break the cycle?

What are your truths?

May Terrify Children

Warning: This may terrify children. It might terrify you as well. Candyland and I are different, this will probably be the most insane post you'll ever come across.

If your eyes diverted to the body suit I ask that you change your focus to the following words...

This is the strange adventures of Candyland and {Insert cooler name than Jen} celebrating our VeRy MeRrY uNBirTHday!

We've never claimed to have our blog posts make sense. We've never claimed to be sane, but Candyland and I do claim to be AWESOME.

Which is why for our Very Merry Unbirthday party we've dressed in our very special one-of-a-kind body suits. (who wouldn't want to have their own body suit?) I've chosen the traditional birthday suit (as close to naked as one can get, paired with heels).

So sit back and enjoy the wine, tea, and treats!

All we ask is that if you take a treat, please tell us what you'd add to our ensembles, I mean I like my outfit, but maybe it needs more?? What would your body suit look like?

Author note: Candyland and I were not harmed in the making of these body suits... okay, so maybe our egos... a little.
