So this is our front yard in spring and the reason why we bought this house. I love that tree. If spring were just about flowers and green stuff, it would be perfect.Sadly, it is also about taxes. I hate taxes and I really hate doing our taxes, so we'll be joining a T.E.A. (Taxed Enough Already) Party in the Woodlands on the 15th. I've never done any protesting, so this will be an interesting experience for me, over and above the chance to vocally and visibly protest taxes. (Did i mention I HATE taxes????)In the other good news column, LOST IN AUSTEN has released in the US and my copy is heading my way as I type this blog. If you haven't seen this mini series, and if you love Pride and Prejudice, then you'd probably like this series where a modern young woman switches places with Elizabeth Bennett. April is also release month for Lisa Shearin's new book. I've got it preordered for my Kindle (I'm really enjoying my new Ereader, though NOT happy with publishers who overprice their ebooks! My second protest is against publishers who don't get that ebooks should be cheaper than print books, not more expensive. I mean, I'm not great with math,but even I can figure that one out! So I'm boycotting publishers who over price their books.)
Not doing a lot of new reading, because I really, really am working on my novel! It's coming along pretty well, though I still have to figure out my ending. Had some downtime for TLA (Texas Library Assn's big convention) the first week in April. It was great to talk with other book lovers and librarians rock, but it's taken me another week of recovery (I'm a hermit by nature and by choice!). But I'll be back at it as soon as I turn in my *%&%*% taxes.
Been loving Dancing with the Stars and yes, Gille Marini IS the reason. LOL! Also watching American Idol. I don't vote, but I do buy the music I like,so that's kind of voting, isn't it? I'm thinking Adam is going to take this one. And a new-for-me show is Ultimate Fighter. Not my usual fare, but I have a family member competing (also new for me! LOL!) So I winced my way through the first episode and he made it! I've always wondered what it was like for family to see member going through reality TV and now I'm learning. And I have to say, it feels very odd. **g**
Haven't been to any movies, so wondering, am I missing anything good or have I picked the right time to go hermit? What spring books are you looking forward to reading? Read anything that rocked your world?
Have a great weekend and if you're inclined that way, a Happy Easter!
Perilously yours,
Pauline
