Happy New Year post!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a great New Years eve! And I wish you all the best and lots of good books for 2014! I spend new years eve at home and spend most of the evening reading. There where some nice fireworks after midnight and our rats actually seemed interested in all the fireworks although they didn’t like the close fireworks or the loud bangs and they where a bit skittish the whole day.

I am so excited to announce that today is the launch of Lola’s Blog Tours! I will be organizing blog tours, cover reveals, book blitzes and review only events on Lola’s Blog Tours.

About Me: Bucket List

About Me: Bucket List

Today I want to talk about Bucket Lists. Before I started bloggin and being active on social media sites I actually had never heard these much. Basically a bucket list is a list of all the things you want to do and places you want to visit in your life or before you die.

I have been seeing some blogs with bucket lists like At random, she has a really awesome bucket list right there on her blog. On Pinterest there are also […]

About Me: Rats!

So we came up with the 3 candy names and then I decided I wanted another one and she is from a different mother and we ran out of sweets that started with a S, so we […]
