Book Blogger Hop

Book Blogger Hop


Another Hop :)  Click on the link above and join the fun.

This week's question is:
TELL US ABOUT THE BOOK YOU ARE CURRENTLY READING!

I just bought book #3 in the Honeybun series FAST TRACK TO A HONEYBUN by Sam Cheever (online) this morning.  Just itching to load it to my kindle and get reading.  I love this series with the strong characters and funny dialoge.  I am sure this one will be a winner too :)  The series follow the lives of the Honeybun brothers and the stories feature lots of action, humor and romantic tension :)

Sharon's dolls

I spoke of my online friend, Sharon yesterday - she introduced me to Victoria Francis.  She makes beautiful miniature victorian dolls.  And (drum roll please!), she named one of the dolls after moi :)  Here she is . . . Chrizette, the Victorian Goth, inspired by a painting by Victoria Francis :)


Isn't she beautiful?  Here is the link - check out Chrizette - the doll. 

While you browse her site - don't forget to look at her other amazing work!  She even makes dollhouses!  You should see the little carpets she embroiders.  You will be jealous of her talent.

I can't even make full size dresses, I would never have the patience for these miniature ones - they are so beautiful and full of detail.  Here is the link to her site - Sharon Maggott's Mini's and more pictures:

Victoria Francis paintings

Isn't this a beautiful painting. It is done by Victoria Francis which I have just discovered through a online friend, Sharon.

Victoria Francis does gothic pictures, some vampire inspired ones and then some that is a little too much for me - but taste differs. Google her name and you will see what I mean :)

Something different.

Book Review: The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

This is the first time I have read/listened to an audio book.  For the past two weeks I have been listening to it while driving to and from work every day and I have to admit that it has made the 1 1/2 drive much easier.  I will also say that if I have not been listening to it, I would probably not have been able to finish this book.  Somehow the voices makes it come alive more and I want to know what happens to Henry and Claire.  I am about 3/4 through, so this coming week I will finish it.  I am already looking for my next "driving to work"-book.
