I Scream, You Scream by Wendy Lyn Watson

Isn't the cover yummy looking? I'll admit that it was the cover that drew me to this book. Yep, I'm a foodie and I pick the books I read by the cover, especially if there is food on the cover HAHAHA

Anywaaaaay, I picked this up before Christmas when I signed up for Book Chick City's mystery challenge. Yes, it's a mystery not a romance. And it was pretty good. Tally Jones is accused of killing her ex-husband's new girlfriend. So we follow Tally as she uncovers who murdered preppy Brittanie. We meet lots of people and find out little secrets about all of them. I think the secret that hurt the most is when she found out her high school sweetheart, who just moved back to town, had slept with Brittanie as well. It's probably irrational of me to think that hurt the most, but here's my reasoning....Tally already lost her husband to Brittanie and now she finds out Finn slept with her too? In fact, when Tally finds out this tidbit of info, she runs away from Finn. And I know exactly what she was feeling....why can't she have a man in her life that hadn't slept with slutty Brittanie? And the kicker is that Brittanie is like 24 while Finn and Tally are in their late 30's and the ex is a few years older than that! Yep, that broke my heart for Tally.

So, the killer is not who I expected it to be and I was a little disappointed by how we found out. Maybe I'm just not used to reading mystery novels. But all in all, I enjoyed the book and would read another one by this author. Oh! And there's a recipe for ice cream in the back! YUM!

My Reading Habits

I am an avid book reader. I have even been known to read a good bit of fanfiction (I'm a Twifan...yes, I admit that in public). Since joining Goodreads I've come to love to do reading challenges. In case you're like my best friend and have no clue what that might be, let me explain. A reading challenge can be as simple as setting a reading goal for the year. Or it can be as complex as one I'm doing next year that is an Artist Color Wheel Challenge - find book covers that are mainly the colors on the color wheel and are the shades of the grey scale. Anyway, I read Book Chick City's blog http://www.bookchickcity.com/ and they're doing a Mystery/Suspense reading challenge that I'm going to join in on next year. I'm going to see if I can read 12 mystery/suspense books. You may be thinking that that isn't a whole lot of books for someone who claims to be an avid reader; and you're right, it's not BUT I normally don't read myste...

Halloween's around the corner

So, I've been working on Hallween designs this week. What you see in the picture is a sneek peek of a set I'm listing next week for Bow*nified Designs Spooky Chic Halloween launch. I've got a OOAK skirt set almost finished and another set ready to cut out. Who'd have thought that I'd be working on Halloween stuff the very week the girls go back to school. I surely didn't. But I feel the need to keep up with what is selling :) And speaking of the girls going back to school this week...I've already subbed for 3 days! It's the first FULL week of school and teachers are missing days. CRAZY! However, I mustn't complain. This at least gets me in the classroom and schools so teachers won't forget me and the principals won't forget me so they can give me a job ;0)

Something to add....

If you're an ebay boutique junkie ;0) and a member of this board, please go vote for me. I've been nominated for Designer of the Month! I'd be really appreciative of your vote :)

Until Next Time...
