Sorry kids! I have totally been M.I.A. However, lots of things have happened since I last posted:<br /><br />1. I got tons of books, but I'm sure you knew that already.<br /><br />2. I got baby caterpillars and waited while they turn into butterflies. I named them Rory and Jess "the early years," since those were the most exciting years in Rory's love life. Haha! Here are <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2097314&id=1045380072&l=1e52e78d65">the rest of my pictures</a> of Rory and Jess.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/pixie_pants/?action=view&current=189602_1786753142357_1045380072_3398859_3395357_n.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 417px; height: 313px;" src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/pixie_pants/189602_1786753142357_1045380072_3398859_3395357_n.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">3. I'm waiting for my mission call. Yup! I'm going on a mission for the Lord. Don't know where or when I'm leaving yet. I should find out sometime next week. Practically biting my nails until I receive my call letter!!!<br /><br />4. I have become oh so OBSESSED with Downton Abbey!!!! An excellent brit-period drama set right after the sinking of the Titanic, but before World War I... Well the first season is. Sometime next year we will get season 2!!!!!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/pixie_pants/?action=view&current=pw_downton_abbey2.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 414px; height: 237px;" src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/pixie_pants/pw_downton_abbey2.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">5. I never did post the pictures from when I went to meet Hilary Duff. Personal childhood wish fulfilled! Her music was there when no one else was. You can see more pictures on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2080346&id=1045380072&l=7ab9ae4d62">facebook album</a>.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/pixie_pants/?action=view&current=69481_1570977988113_1045380072_3001190_7859617_n.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 456px; height: 342px;" src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/pixie_pants/69481_1570977988113_1045380072_3001190_7859617_n.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />6. I finally got an annual pass for Disneyland! I've gone to Disneyland at least once a month since December when I got it. I have been oh so happy! I got it right along with my cousin Maritza on the same day. Loves going with her!<br /><br />If you've read this far that means you still follow me. Haha! Thank you! This is all that my brain can think of as far as the past few months go. I iz sleepy now and I'm going to get reading. Thanks for reading!<br /><br />Love and Sugar from me, Jess<br /></div></div></div></div>Sweet Lady Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06920215655963545197noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8096597355584507116.post-69348454169122530152010-12-30T10:58:00.000-08:002010-12-30T11:49:20.836-08:00Best of 2010!Hello dolls! With the year coming to an end, I want to work on my Best of 2010! From books that I've read, to films that's I've watched, to my favorite music of the year!

I had a few issues with the last book, but I've discussed it at length with a ton of my friends, so I'll just let it go.<br /></div><br />Best Hot Scene in a book: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Shiver-Wolves-Mercy-Maggie-Stiefvater/dp/0545123275/ref=tmm_mmp_title_0"><span style="font-style: italic;">Shiver</span></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYv6x69qeiIX7rFhKhlmLOg1VrNML3M26kGOttpDO_qBNj8bWnHya36Mx3IoIVamGCousUK5PeeVbE0wOfyfNIFqdsmBApbdL1aChl_47zavj9_4JlbK6qHf142M5GH080Dr0Tg1BeaU0/s1600/61807617.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYv6x69qeiIX7rFhKhlmLOg1VrNML3M26kGOttpDO_qBNj8bWnHya36Mx3IoIVamGCousUK5PeeVbE0wOfyfNIFqdsmBApbdL1aChl_47zavj9_4JlbK6qHf142M5GH080Dr0Tg1BeaU0/s400/61807617.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556553936626499042" border="0" /></a><br />I can't pick a particular scene, that's too hard.

She can’t just<br />pretend nothing happened. But “complicated” doesn’t even begin to describe their<br />relationship when his ex-girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to<br />take Nash back.<br /><br />See, Sabine isn’t just an ordinary girl. She’s a mara,<br />the living personification of a nightmare. She can read people’s fears—and craft<br />them into nightmares while her victims sleep. Feeding from human fear is how she<br />survives.<br /><br />And Sabine isn’t above scaring Kaylee and the entire school to<br />death to get whatever—and whoever—she wants.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">I DON'T THINK SO.</span> </blockquote>Here's the heart wrenching book trailer for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Soul-Steal-Screamers-Book/dp/0373210272/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1293652997&sr=8-1"><span style="font-style: italic;">My Soul to Steal</span></a>!!!<br /><br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CZ5jVZldug4?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CZ5jVZldug4?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />Make sure to pick of your own copy on January 1, 2011!

School has been my prison for the past 3 months. I did, however, survive with nothing bellow a B, so I'm pretty jolly right now.<br /><br />Christmas came and went, and I must have been a really good girl because Santa brought me a ton of STUFF!!! I'll post more on that later, but first I need mention a new "marathon" I signed up for.<br /><br />In the month of January Lori from Pure Imagination is hosting...<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.pureimaginationblog.com/2010/12/potter-thon-sign-ups.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Potter-Thon" src="http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac339/Loriimagination/potterthon.jpg" border="0" /></a></center><br />I have a month to read at least one book from the Harry Potter series, but I plan to read all 7 before I enter school on January 25. I'm sure I won't have time to read the minute I enter school. I plan to read each book in 3 days and watch the corresponding film after I read the book. I will post about my progress as I move along. I hope this works! I will still have a few days left over if I fall a bit behind. Wish me luck because I didn't do too well in the Jane Austen reading challenge (I had a year to fulfill it... it didn't work out...). <br /><br />I'm going out of town for the New Year and I'll be starting the read-a-thon there. I'll be wi-fi less while there, so I won't be able to post anything until I get back on the 2nd.<br /><br />Love you dolls!<br /><br />Love and Sugar from me, JessSweet Lady Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06920215655963545197noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8096597355584507116.post-21984262051610745952010-09-29T08:00:00.000-07:002010-09-28T23:41:52.579-07:00Waiting on Wednesday!For this week's Waiting on Wednesday I wanted to mainly show the great trailer for this book and explain a little bit about it.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP3LZ7a4Gb5HZEjKTa9z8UshqY5tAIPqJv6NqsfXIqRvpezsydeGJvbWqaSqqpB0I8EGhTQh39wvZ4VJfHox8OSTD3SF9ty7ALuEo1E4ncDxGXacJuzimEK625PnpTvQomHv7ItqpM54A/s1600/torment.JPG"><br /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQeoCJmINUDQiMDoGsSNNxE5iPNhCrhI7XjyMDKk6bKVFHAI-U9vNg9fxCG1iPu9LdIjSz2E8_KHDF_4pBkbyTwTa4ruHyqKrjYYBgqOq5HUQU6U5hLRWxZvDY_PushLAhH_irarF0NvY/s1600/79241800.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 264px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQeoCJmINUDQiMDoGsSNNxE5iPNhCrhI7XjyMDKk6bKVFHAI-U9vNg9fxCG1iPu9LdIjSz2E8_KHDF_4pBkbyTwTa4ruHyqKrjYYBgqOq5HUQU6U5hLRWxZvDY_PushLAhH_irarF0NvY/s400/79241800.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522203198016562450" border="0" /></a><br />Here's the synopses for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Crescendo-Becca-Fitzpatrick/dp/1416989439/ref=pd_sim_b_2"><span style="font-style: italic;">Crescendo</span></a>:<br /><p style="font-style: italic;">Nora should have know her life was far from perfect. Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can't figure out if it's for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home. </p><p><span style="font-style: italic;">The farther Nora delves into the mystery of her father's death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim blood line has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl. Since Patch isn't answering her questions and seems to be standing in her way, she has to start finding the answers on her own. Relying too heavily on the fact that she has a guardian angel puts Nora at risk again and again. But can she really count on Patch or is he hiding secrets darker than she can even imagine?</span><br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOEqdJQj4xUnlY_Ff0KQKU4FA2p3JUhh-Aqv8IECCxdV-Bho-oxtTC8PQtpKAqPOumCbC7r52QJjKIeOcwrYfqILnSxePHZWji92ZA3wD2iQAuH2mYzGUZykjaB0sdr5mZU6r8euhyphenhyphen6Y8/s1600/HPIM2915.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOEqdJQj4xUnlY_Ff0KQKU4FA2p3JUhh-Aqv8IECCxdV-Bho-oxtTC8PQtpKAqPOumCbC7r52QJjKIeOcwrYfqILnSxePHZWji92ZA3wD2iQAuH2mYzGUZykjaB0sdr5mZU6r8euhyphenhyphen6Y8/s400/HPIM2915.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522217629523141378" border="0" /></a></p><p>I actually got a chance to participate in Barnes & Nobles Sneak Peak of this novel, so I got an Advance Reader Copy.

What is the Smart Chicks Kick It tour, you ask? It's a multi city book tour with not just one author, but several in each one. The Pasadena stop had 9 authors! Melissa Marr, Kelley Armstrong, and Alyson Noel toured in all of the stops and for this particular stop we also had Rachel Vincent, Melissa de la Cruz, Rachel Caine, Mary Pearson and by my 2 favorite dolls right now: Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl!!!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit6F9vbXwrn3L11XlkEHmyV_fdh1t-iU5RwXSMk3g8mlu9SnngpRqGGbdv36xpnHTmbFNyzNEn2VYreRDbYuztCZUY68O_ULhM255JiPf2SI7EpmMy1MTFMQ6gjmcbf0aal1RjyeRcsWU/s1600/SCKI_Tour_One_Sheet_tiny_RGB_20010920.jpg"><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 150px; display: block; height: 194px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520350470014307714" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit6F9vbXwrn3L11XlkEHmyV_fdh1t-iU5RwXSMk3g8mlu9SnngpRqGGbdv36xpnHTmbFNyzNEn2VYreRDbYuztCZUY68O_ULhM255JiPf2SI7EpmMy1MTFMQ6gjmcbf0aal1RjyeRcsWU/s400/SCKI_Tour_One_Sheet_tiny_RGB_20010920.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I wasn't thinking of going.

I got to Pasadena fairly early to grab a place line ticket. The place line ticket was meant to save a place in line for when it came down to meet the authors to sign your books. A bit before the event started I made sure I situated myself somewhere close. I was right in front of the area where they held their Q & A! I also got the chance to meet the people around. I met this nice lady who had books from a few friends that shipped her their books. I also met these sweet dolls that got a chance to win Rachel Vincent's next book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Soul-Steal-Screamers-Book/dp/0373210272/ref=sr_1_1?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1285472689&sr=8-1"><em>My Soul to Steal</em></a>, during the beginning of their presentation.

Anyways, the dolls that I sat around with were very sweet, and it made the pre-signing presentation enjoyable.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWpVgx2zgUwyY-f1MRW5N6pNltw2NemBnsfYvB1Ob0mP95VPv89tjvYKAjBqMIDI6nQdfqtnHYYnLDFXop5I4U1PBwBERqTxwHRBmWF7noW9NyFsQxGt2oqtOKg2pNq_rCXKuq5y-FnZE/s1600/Picture+701.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWpVgx2zgUwyY-f1MRW5N6pNltw2NemBnsfYvB1Ob0mP95VPv89tjvYKAjBqMIDI6nQdfqtnHYYnLDFXop5I4U1PBwBERqTxwHRBmWF7noW9NyFsQxGt2oqtOKg2pNq_rCXKuq5y-FnZE/s400/Picture+701.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520578117588052466" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div>On to the presentation! Like I mentioned before, the authors had great giveaways. Melissa Marr gave away an ARC of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Darkest-Mercy-Melissa-Marr/dp/0061659258/ref=pd_sim_b_5"><span style="font-style: italic;">Darkest Mercy</span></a>, the last book in her <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wicked-Lovely-Quality/dp/0061214671/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_2"><span style="font-style: italic;">Wicked Lovely</span></a> series, Rachel Caine gave a copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Town-Morganville-Vampires-Book/dp/0451231619/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1285472853&sr=1-1"><span style="font-style: italic;">Ghost Town</span></a>, her latest book, which comes out next month, and like I mentioned before Rachel Vincent gave away an ARC of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Soul-Steal-Screamers-Book/dp/0373210272/ref=sr_1_1?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1285472689&sr=8-1"><span style="font-style: italic;">My Soul to Steal</span></a>, out on January 1, 2011. They then gave away a ton of swag! Since I was right in front, they didn't shoot anything to me, but my mom was able to grab 5 <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Darkness-Kami-Garcia/dp/0316077054/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1285472788&sr=1-1"><span style="font-style: italic;">Beautiful Darkness</span></a> necklaces. Love you mom!!! They also raffled off this great gift basket with books from every author on tour and this one doll won the basket.There was also one more raffle to have someones name in the audience in the anthology that they all plan to write called <span style="font-style: italic;">Highway to Hell</span>. It will be released sometime next fall.<br /></div><br /><div>They also went on ahead to reveal secrets of their book series and my favorite one was that Kelley Armstrong's Darkest Powers series is going to have 9 books!!!! Aaaah!!!!! Also Melissa Marr said that her book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wicked-Lovely-Quality/dp/0061214671/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_2"><span style="font-style: italic;">Wicked Lovely</span></a>, in is the process of being made into a film. Mary Pearson is also having her book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Adoration-Jenna-Fox-Mary-Pearson/dp/0312594410/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1285472884&sr=1-1"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Adoration of Jenna Fox</span></a>, being made into a film.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVcGT1dvc4VK_wJgV2hxzjnm31KC8D2oISVSvz1Q2k4U1m3NAp-1GKExL0FX3FzdP6ctQLUmu8DBFLyMHazfyQFElA25BbIT-lzpoaLjROHjwLo3gPSUymaneY_NJxK_g1iMZVqYrzwzI/s1600/Picture+717.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVcGT1dvc4VK_wJgV2hxzjnm31KC8D2oISVSvz1Q2k4U1m3NAp-1GKExL0FX3FzdP6ctQLUmu8DBFLyMHazfyQFElA25BbIT-lzpoaLjROHjwLo3gPSUymaneY_NJxK_g1iMZVqYrzwzI/s400/Picture+717.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520581848299087538" border="0" /></a><br />They had a small Q & A session and then they had a lightning round. Margie was the host of the lightning round. Let me explain what the means. They had random questions from the audience such as what is your favorite color, or if you could be any animal which one would it be, and then the authors had to quickly answer. I can't remember their answers, but I remember Kami saying Black Sabbath twice, one where "what is your favorite band or musician" was asked and again when they were asked what character from <span style="font-style: italic;">Twilight</span> was their favorite. Haha! They then had a round of "Marry, Shag or Throw Off a Cliff" where audeince memebers were allowed to come up, pick an author and say who in their series would they marry, shag or throw off a cliff. My favorite was for Alyson Noel's Immortals Series. This girl said she would marry Damien, shag Roman, and throw Haven off a cliff. Totally agree!<br /><br />Then it was time to get my books signed!!! Yay! I also got a chance to get take pictures with almost everyone there! I didn't take a picture with Mary Pearson because my mind was working on over drive. I also forgot to get my Lena Necklace signed by Kami and Magie (I was so excited that they liked it and took of a picture of it that I forgot to ask). I also forgot to ask Kami and Margie for a signed Beautiful Darkness poster, but Margie did me the favor of giving it to me anyways! She's soooo sweet!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbgtUdZPlLArm3nrT3ofHPd7IQExJ5xKZsboUAPRaShwS5a-jQmhQLSwbbCeaIuh5WgMnE21QgStXTNXUGCIZA0zX-QpDuEq4RColjyAFsQF6YEJpas2beZFeOfjtfUXMKFjK_rtsedC0/s1600/Picture+722.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbgtUdZPlLArm3nrT3ofHPd7IQExJ5xKZsboUAPRaShwS5a-jQmhQLSwbbCeaIuh5WgMnE21QgStXTNXUGCIZA0zX-QpDuEq4RColjyAFsQF6YEJpas2beZFeOfjtfUXMKFjK_rtsedC0/s400/Picture+722.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520583360769023506" border="0" /></a>Kelley Armstrong and Rachel Vincent<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYPq0kkmrUqDfuyWGLlOyZXJHegHlOAUICLquveQfmZJBpTtNpIPLrFlSpthGrFjdxbO-sjgXnK_dsMDntGBGFkVAvQZAiMzgV7vmUparU8Uz4MH3ooH5eCgFKyzM1BXQm4OYn6i1TWuA/s1600/Picture+723.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYPq0kkmrUqDfuyWGLlOyZXJHegHlOAUICLquveQfmZJBpTtNpIPLrFlSpthGrFjdxbO-sjgXnK_dsMDntGBGFkVAvQZAiMzgV7vmUparU8Uz4MH3ooH5eCgFKyzM1BXQm4OYn6i1TWuA/s400/Picture+723.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520583390656585266" border="0" /></a>Melissa de la Cruz and Melissa Marr<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilSOOEsyMdIEuMiX8Ll7WUioinBbr0PavAwHzHWk1cLC3C0WxqsNpnwfpid2ahI-7dWHCYrfd1MWYFTzQUE7IJJcCRujOOrHnGWRU0LAMIAUP3cRGGcxeBMwtgI0l1w3LB-ey5mVmQgno/s1600/Picture+724.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilSOOEsyMdIEuMiX8Ll7WUioinBbr0PavAwHzHWk1cLC3C0WxqsNpnwfpid2ahI-7dWHCYrfd1MWYFTzQUE7IJJcCRujOOrHnGWRU0LAMIAUP3cRGGcxeBMwtgI0l1w3LB-ey5mVmQgno/s400/Picture+724.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520583401916675954" border="0" /></a>Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1_k9ecWMo_7tELaD-r-tSUffSVzEPyvIfBd05GpeE_zEsrlSWS4Tfq7HgC-j-OlLaFYBak4YGmKOncKy6Twmgd7AV7K12_mvJiR2k3mlUprISiGMwiBaNeHAQ39QVZ5BBVNvIN5bjUy8/s1600/Picture+725.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1_k9ecWMo_7tELaD-r-tSUffSVzEPyvIfBd05GpeE_zEsrlSWS4Tfq7HgC-j-OlLaFYBak4YGmKOncKy6Twmgd7AV7K12_mvJiR2k3mlUprISiGMwiBaNeHAQ39QVZ5BBVNvIN5bjUy8/s400/Picture+725.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520586002413648290" border="0" /></a>Alyson Noel<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEietmJITTuRK2R-pWpbV8H83YXJyyXGRl-B3jq0Lh2ACPTRdw49cvUtWEzUtOOVngdzdkyQhD2w6ASZMEk-sJFz8ZSDgSSY396w5qlvUL7IGMYTMCWvCL-yCyh2M1feduLBEodjUCasSMY/s1600/Picture+726.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEietmJITTuRK2R-pWpbV8H83YXJyyXGRl-B3jq0Lh2ACPTRdw49cvUtWEzUtOOVngdzdkyQhD2w6ASZMEk-sJFz8ZSDgSSY396w5qlvUL7IGMYTMCWvCL-yCyh2M1feduLBEodjUCasSMY/s400/Picture+726.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520586304591954050" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Rachel Caine<br /></div></div><br />Gosh!

I got your addresses from Twitter on Sunday night, so that I can ship the bookmarks later today. I'm going off to Youth Conference (Camp) with my dolls on Wednesday, so I wanted to make sure I sent out the bookmarks before then.<br /><br />I'm very happy with how this turned out. I had started this contest with 19 readers. I now have 30 readers. Don't know how that happened, but I'm extremely grateful!<br /><br />I do have 2 bookmarks left. I plan to give them away when <span style="font-style: italic;">Forever</span> comes out next year. I'll see of I can purchase an extra copy of <span style="font-style: italic;">Forever</span> and give it away with a bookmark!<br /><br />Again thank you for reading, and thank you to all of my new readers.

I absolutely love you hun! You can not even imagine how much this means to me. I'm very honored. <br /><br />Along with this award, there's a few things I need to do:<br /><br />1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award <span style="font-style: italic;">(Check!)</span><br />2. Share 7 things about yourself <span style="font-style: italic;">(It feels like the first day of school all over again!)</span><br />3. Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic. <span style="font-style: italic;">(Oh gosh, this is going to be hard!)</span><br />4. Contact the bloggers you’ve picked and let them know about the award. <span style="font-style: italic;">(Will do!)</span><br /><br />Now 7 Things About Me:<br /><br />1. I'm actually considering getting a nook. I know I told everyone I know that I would never get one because I love the feel of a book and the smell of a new book. However, I'm running out of room to place books in my room and under our entertainment system. I see many eBooks in my future.<br /><br />2. I can cross-stitch (I say this every first day of school. Hahaha!)<br /><br />3. I'm about to start my fourth year in college, but I'm not graduating until one more year. I'm working towards becoming an elementary teacher.<br /><br />4. I'm not good at writing reviews, so that's why you don't see any on my page. However, I haven't practiced enough, so I'll try harder in the future.<br /><br />5. I love drawing for fun, but I don't know if I'm up for showing any of readers my work. I really haven't done that much anyways. I use it as a stress releaver, just like I use this blog for the same reason.<br /><br />6. I wish I could live in the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland.<br /><br />7. I'm mostly into YA Paranormal books, but I do hit the occasional adult novel like novels from Nicholas Sparks and Sara Douglass. I use to be into, what I call, "everyday" YA, dealing with teens and everyday situations.<br /><br />I would now like to pay this award forward to the great new bloggers I have found. In no particular order:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.write-brained.com/">Write-Brained</a>: This doll blogs about everything and everything. My personal goal for my blog.

I love both if their blogs too! If I picked you for this award and you have been awarded before, I was not aware of it. Sorry!

Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos. <br /><p style="font-style: italic;">Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What’s more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own. <br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by—and torn between—two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length . . . everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world. . . . and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all. </span><br /><br />I can not wait for this book!!!

My purpose in running this giveaway is to gain more readers. I love my 19 readers, but I wouldn't hurt to have more, so here's how this giveaway is going to work.<br /><br />There will be 5 winners. To enter this giveaway you <span style="font-weight: bold;">need to be a follower</span>. I also need you to leave a <span style="font-weight: bold;">comment with your name</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">email address</span>. Please leave your email address, or I won't be able to let you know you won a bookmark.<br /><br />There's also ways to gain extra entries!<br /><br />+1 Entry for following me on Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/SweetLadyJess">@SweetLadyJess</a> Please leave your username so that I can see that you are following me.<br /><br />+1 Entry Each for Tweeting, Facebook post, Sidebar etc. Please leave links so that I may see that you tweeted, posted etc. <a href="http://www.thebookvixen.com/2010/05/how-to-get-direct-link-to-your-tweet.html">Here's how to directly link</a> tweets, and for facebook it's pretty much the same.<br /><br />I'm going to draw the names the old fashion way. I'm placing your name, times the number of entries on a piece of paper, and I'll place the piece of papers in one of my totes. I'll draw the winners that way. I want to give this giveaway 4 weeks, so that I may get more readers. This giveaway ends on August 23, 2010 11:59 PST. US and Canada only please! Post is a bit much for me (I don't have a job).<br /><br />I really need you to keep in mind that I'm doing this giveaway so that I may have more readers, so please spread the word!<br /><br />I also wanted to have my readers know that the title of my blog has been changed from "Live, Love, Laugh" to "Live, Laugh, Love." I felt like it rang better and it reminds of the film <span style="font-style: italic;">Eat Pray Love, </span><span>which I really want to see!<br /><br />Stay tuned this week for a "Things I Love Thursday," "From the Stacks," an update from my Disneyland trip, and a future "In My Mailbox." One of the things that came in my mailbox that you have already seen is my copy of <span style="font-style: italic;">Linger</span> from Amazon. It's a lot cheaper on Amazon. I'm still waiting for things to come in, so the "In My Mailbox" post will come in a lot later. I've won a bunch of books and swag again!<br /><br />Thank you for reading!<br /><br />Love and Sugar from me, Jess<br /></span>Sweet Lady Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06920215655963545197noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8096597355584507116.post-45508550569268285372010-07-24T20:55:00.000-07:002010-07-24T21:00:09.376-07:00Another Pure Moment of Glee!!!The great Captain Jack Sparrow is sailing again!

I knew about this since April and I had the rest of the dolls in our branch choose a Broadway show to dance and sing to. I listed the ones that I was familiar with. I've never gone to one, so I chose the ones that I has some idea of what the music was like. We all ended up choosing <span style="font-style: italic;">Mamma Mia!</span> Sounds like a lot of fun. I've seen the film with Amanda Seyfried and I really liked it. I grew up listening to music from the musical on Radio Disney, so I pretty much know a good portion of the songs. I got the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mamma-Bjorn-Anderson-Benny-Ulvaeus/dp/B0019FOC5E/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1279243375&sr=8-4">soundtrack</a> from the library so I wouldn't have to buy it. Wish my luck when I get them all together to actually practice for the Broadway night. The good thing is that we only have to dance and sing to one of the songs, but we need to be in costume and have a background.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9rnOBlPuD8qlhOb5Flg2Wv0GeLTh1LELLDsWjYUyAINj5OLD2KDgW99CA7j6BiqHaAh9R9kQ2PhlmYK7PbMpQGe3PflpyTSgf2eVM3_TUM1JBTIUh835kAvcz5WXsHXzztFovo6OjxMQ/s1600/Picture+567.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9rnOBlPuD8qlhOb5Flg2Wv0GeLTh1LELLDsWjYUyAINj5OLD2KDgW99CA7j6BiqHaAh9R9kQ2PhlmYK7PbMpQGe3PflpyTSgf2eVM3_TUM1JBTIUh835kAvcz5WXsHXzztFovo6OjxMQ/s400/Picture+567.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494313764152305138" border="0" /></a><br />My cousin Maritza let me borrow the film, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Message-Bottle-Keepcase-Tom-Aldredge/dp/B002NZK5TQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1279244619&sr=8-3"><span style="font-style: italic;">Message in a Bottle</span></a>, adapted from the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Message-Bottle-Nicholas-Sparks/dp/0446676071/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279244619&sr=8-2">novel by Nicholas Sparks</a>.
