How Much Worse Can It Get?

In the last month I've:

1. Broken up with my boyfriend.

2. Been fired from my job. (Ok, it was done nicely but I'm not unemployed and filing for unemployment is CONFUSING!!)

3. Been in a car that hit a deer--on MY side. Yeah, definately freaked me out. I screamed. Now the passenger door can't open more than 8-10 inches.

4. Just felt like life is in the crapper right now. LOL!

UGH!

Ciao!

In a Nutshell...

1. I cut my hair. Below is a pic--not the greatest lighting but it will do. I also highlighted it but that can't be seen in the pic.
2. I'm currently reading my 100th book for this year, Ill Wind by Rachel Caine.

3. My new job is going ok. The office manager (who is also the Dr.'s wife) is rather rude and harsh but I try to work around that. (If you pray, pray for me because it's ONLY me she 'picks on'.)

4. I need to catch up on Google Reader...maybe I'll do that during lunch.

Ok, I need to go eat breakfast!

Ciao!

Jasper Fforde

If you have never read a book by this man, you must. His writing is fantastic. I love the Thursday Next series. It's set in 1985 (my birth year!) but is so "futuristic" it's nuts. The storyline and extras are enough to stretch your imagination to the limit! Mispeling vyruses (anything they come near is miss spell--hands become literal lands!), textual sieves, being able to literally JUMP into a story!

If you like books and like reading, his books are awesome. Thursday Next series and the Nursery Crimes stories both use real characters from other stories (like Humpty Dumpty and Miss Havisham and Captain Nemo...) but create a whole new deminsion.

Seriously, this series is so OUT THERE I can't even describe it...all I know is they are fun.

Bonus, the author's website- www.jasperfforde.com -is just as crazy!

Sacred Accessories

So, there's this website that's e-mailed me a couple times and I finally took a chance and went to check them out. I must say, they're pretty cool! The website is Sacred Accessories. They have some awesome items. Some of my favorite items include:

Sterling Silver Circle Dangle Earrings

Owl Charm Necklace by Cecilia Gonzales

Gold Necklace With Silver Fire Ohm

Pink Prayer Scarf by Raj Imports

A lot of the items are yellow gold (which doesn't look all that great on me) but they're still super cute. So, if you like yellow gold jewelry, you might want to check it out! Right now, a lot of things are on sale!

Also, by using the code: SHIPFREE you can get free shipping!

Review of CURTAIN by Agatha Christie

So in trying to live up with my blog address (bookwormbritt.blogspot) I'm going to attempt my first book review!

I read Curtain by Agatha Christie. I haven't read a lot of Christie and why I came back to it with this one (the last in the Hercule Poirot "series")...it's all because someone else in the blogging world read it and I felt so inclined. LOL!

I am not the HUGEST fan of Poirot. I don't like having parts of the story that I can't read because it's in another language. This story wasn't too bad but it did still irk me. The story itself was good, totally had me guessing the whole way through.

I'm looking forward to getting back into Christie's books...slowly yet surely.

My rating: 4/5

(Any book bloggers who read my blog...PLEASE give me opinions/suggestions for reviewing. Thanks!)

Ciao!
