Round up

Check out the September videos for book trailers here. But vote for Tracey O'hara's Night's Cold Kiss!!! Honestly, hers is brilliant. Music, atmosphere, blurbs...just great.

Been preparing for Eleni-fest! Aha, that's right - it's all about me!! *grin* Seriously, those who follow me via email or rss feeds, for your chance to win some goodies, be prepared to make comments on the actual blog.

We love YA blog has a giveaway of the four Vampire Academy books out now. Check it out here.

Just watched Revolutionary Road with Kate Winslett and Leonardo DiCaprio - what an intense and powerful film. A thinker...so those who only want action, this isn't for you. Though if you do like action with romance thrown in, watched Fool's Gold last night with Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. Some really funny bits. What I needed. As was watching season 2 of 30 Rock last week - hilarious!!! And yes, even though I'm busy I've taken time out because 1) I need down time and 2) I need to return them back to the library. Nothing like due dates to get things done!

FreeRice is an interactive site where two things are accomplished - you extend your vocabulary and for every right answer you get, donations of 10 grains of rice are organised through the UN Food Program.

Oh and check out this really cool, Youtube on Steampunk duel! How cool! (source: SciFiGuy.ca)

100th post - round up

There is no way that I will beat Monique Wood's post, so anyone wanting to see Wolverine's glorious behind are welcome to here.

Some writing buddies have gotten together to create a blog called We Love YA (Young Adult fiction). So good luck to Vanessa, Natalie, Kiki, Diane, Sara, and Amanda. Check them out here.

The Bootcamper 101ers are doing a BIAM - Book in a Month. Well I'm not doing too well at that, but I have some words down for a short story and for another story, which I'm not sure will still be a short story or a novella. 

And Bootcamper Nikki Logan, has the title of her debut book, Lights, Camera.... Kiss The Boss, which is being released in January 2010.

Oh and thanks to Keziah Hill for finding a Eddie Izzard stand up clip. I'm going to post it below too. Since I'm a Star Wars fan, thought this was hilarious!

And here's one of my favourite movie of all time, with my childhood hero, Luke Skywalker. Han Solo was more my tween hero. And the greatest voice ever - James Earl Jones as Darth Vadar.

Yia!
