I'm sorry to say that with the Holiday's coming up, Flashback Friday will be on holiday (as the Brit's say) until January.  I have so many projects to finish before Christmas!  I will keep blogging in the meantime, but if you are dying to read some embarrassing memories of my past you can always check ...

My Nose is Stuck in a Book

October 7, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary 3 Comments

There is no Flashback Friday today.  I've got lots of reading to catch up on!  I need to finish Oliver Twist so I can then read The Maze Runner AND The Scorch Trials before The Death Cure comes out at midnight on Monday!  That means I have to read 880+ pages in 4 days. Whew! ... Read More »

Why Pottermore is Better than an Encyclopedia

September 21, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary Leave a Comment

The Island of Misfit Bloggers

September 17, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary 3 Comments

I didn't get to participate in Book Blogger Appreciation Week like I wanted to because my car broke down three times in two weeks. Don't worry, everything is back to normal now and life is a lot less hectic and stressful now that my car is fixed. (I had to get a new alternator, battery ... Read More »
