A Rather Ramblesome Post

Source: Wikipedia
Brr.....winter is really starting to set in here in NE...fun winter fact: We are currently in a "coldhouse" phase.  So basically the earth has natural "greenhouse" and "coldhouse" cycles, and according to a research study, earth is currently in the cold phase.

I know I haven't been very productive lately, at least in regards to posting book reviews (almost done with a book though!)  ButI felt like now would be a good time to sort out my mind a bit...so this might be a rather ramblesome post (and yes I did just make up that word--along with "normallyier" a few hours ago...and I tried to spell "turn" as "tearn" just 10 minutes ago when writing my essay...lol, can you tell it has been a long day?)  

It seems as if every year is going by faster and faster, and as I'm here typing this, I can't help but realize there's so much I want to do! I was cleaning my room the other day and found a "Bucket List" I made in middle school--6th grade to be exact--and as I sat down on my bed and began to read it (there was 100 things listed, fyi) I was immediately transported back in time.  I couldn't help but laugh at some of my goals (open a summer camp--more specifically, a marine biology summer camp--boy have I changed since!) , others I proudly crossed out (run a half marathon), and still even more remain (visit Europe), urging me to hurry up and start living and just complete this task, will ya? 

And anyways, now I sit here typing, wondering where will I end up in 5 years? 10? Where will I live? What job will I have?  Will I have a family?  It seems as if winter (or rainy days or windy days or weather that generally discourages any sane person from going outside) seems to be my prime time for pondering such thoughts.

Well, it's been quite a crazy week for me (SAT in a couple of weeks--eep!  I've been practicing those timed essays, but man, they still unnerve me!) so I think I will sign off here. 

What goals do you have on your bucket list? Have you made up any words before?

Release Day Blitz: A Breath of Winter




Title: A Breath of Winter

Author: Hailey Edwards

Genre: Fantasy Romance

Description:

There’s no easy cure for a love of epidemic proportions.

Araneae Nation, Book 4


Zuri and her mercenary brothers had a simple mission. Transport a captured harbinger to Erania and collect the bounty. But this job turns out to be anything but easy.


Their welcome to the northland is nothing short of frigid. A scuffle with border guards and her prisoner’s attempted escape leave Zuri injured—and she and her brothers stuck in quarantine. Worse, the bounty comes with silken strings attached. Strings held by a scientist with a daring, dangerous plan.


Because Zuri and her prisoner barged in before his fail-safes were in place, Henri had no choice but to lock them all down until he’s sure there’s no risk of spreading plague. He’d planned to study the harbinger, but it’s the mercenary holding the leash who intrigues him the most.




When Henri’s experiment goes awry, they learn they’ve all been pawns in a plan with one goal: bring the Araneae Nation to its knees. Zuri is forced to make a choice that could sign her death warrant—or sacrifice everyone she loves.
