I'm in Love....Yep.


Wildwood DancingCybele's Secret
Cybele's Secret
&
Wildwood Dancing

Did you hear? I know there's this little bird...he gets around....or maybe you haven't heard?
Well, in any case, let me be the first to tell you: I just fell in love. It's true!
I fell in love with Juliet Marillier & her books....specifically Wildwood Dancing and Cybele's Secret. I discovered them whilst perusing blogs...and I found this one blog of especially note (for it's prettiness & creativity!)....Fairytales, French Fries and Baby Kisses by name....kept by two sisters, I believe. Lovely blog. :)

And.....and.... way down hidden amongst older posts, I found this post which was more than enough to pique me curiosity. So, I looked them up at my library, found out that we have almost all her books (yay!) and checked out the two books above to start with.

What did I find?
I rediscovered two things through this book........ my love of fairytales (I love love love them!)
and ......my love of Romania. That's right! These are Romanian fairytale stories!

Needless to say, there's not much else to say......I've read each book twice already since Wednesday, and I've got the others on hold at the library......

Thank you, Bethany & Esther. :)

Yes, I Bought A Twilight Hoodie...


Apparently, this is the same jacket worn by Kristen Stewart in the first Twilight movie (except I picked forest color, and hers was blue or gray or something).
Not that I care, and not that I think that adds credibility via celebrity endorsement, but...
... it is the best jacket I have ever owned!
I love it so much, I've worn it almost everyday since I got it in the mail from Amazon on the 4th. No lie. :)
