Where's the piggy at?

Dragons Galore

I'm not having the best of weeks at the moment and a trip I was to take this Friday even got cancelled, but today there was one fun thing:

I got mail!

It was a signed copy of Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison that I won in a giveaway Thea had last week.

But it gets even better:

No you're not seeing double!
Our good friend Katie knew we wanted to read this book and she send us Dragon Bound as well! Now I have a signed copy I can treasure while Voodoo Bride has her own copy to drool over.

Thanks Thea and Katie!

Teaser Tuesdays - The Red Gate

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following: - Grab your current read - Open to a random page - Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) - Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

I'm on page 145 right now and really liking this book so far. It's intriguing and I love the writing style.

He mused upon how he had found adult life: ill-fitting, like a suit of clothes that bunched and lumped up under the arms, tight enough to make breathing an effort. It didn't really suit him, yet here he was, dressed head to toe in his life as a grown man, but feeling still, like the boy he'd been all those years ago.

Thanks Katie and Sheep.
You're awesome!

Hippo Card

First of all an apology for not commenting at other blogs at the moment, but blogger has decided I'm not allowed to comment at most blogs I visit.

On to my post for today:


We got a really beautiful card from Hammie and G. in the mail.

It says:
I'm cute, I'm sweet
Always nice and ready to help
But if you're going to yell at me
I'm going to sit on you suddenly
(well, it's a rough translation, but you get the meaning, I hope)

Thanks Hammie! We love it!

Work and Mail

It was very nice weather today, so during our breaks I went to the balcony where I enjoyed the sun and the view.

When we got home there was mail from the US with lots of stamps on it.

It turned out to be mail from the Moira Rogers duo.
I had won bookmarks and lots of beautiful cards in one of their giveaways.

Thanks Bree and Donna!
