Snow Already?

It snowed here yesterday. It has never snowed in October before. Here, in Pennsylvania, the earliest it snows is in November and it's usually in late November and we don't get much snow.
So I wasn't too happy yesterday when I saw the snow falling. I was supposed to go on a ghost tour to a haunted library, but it was cancelled due to the snow. I was really looking forward to it, too. But at least today the snow is melting.

Anyway, I went to the library on Thursday to pick up some books I had on hold. I'm currently reading The Ghosts of Mercy Manor by Betty Ren Wright.
I love it so far; I was hooked from the first page. Which makes me happy because the book I just finished reading before starting this one, was quite disappointing.

November 1st Middletown library is having another book sale and I will most definitely be going. Hopefully I'll find some good books.

Just wanted to write a quick entry. I'll try to blog some more when I have the time.

Just Another Boring Day

I bought The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening and The Struggle yesterday so I need to take it off my books I want to buy list. I need to update the list and add more books to it, I'll try to do that later tonight or within the next few days.
Anyway, I'm excited about reading The Vampire Diaries, but I'm not going to read it until I finish Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. Today was normal, didn't do much. Only slept for 3 hours and I've been up all day. It's 7:30 PM now and I don't even feel tired. I might nap a bit later though. Today I just read and wrote my book, which is still coming along great. Now I'm waiting for Celebrity Rehab to come on.

Next week sometime I'm going to my local library. I haven't been to the library in months and I miss going so much. I'm going to try and have some money to maybe buy a book or two from their little bookstore inside the library. The bookstore sells used books that look new and they are really cheap, plus it helps to fund the library. I'm going to get the Writers Market if they have it and have a look through it, take notes etc. Also going to get some Publisher's Weekly magazines if they have them. Probably going to get a some manga to read and I'm not sure what else I'm going to get. I'm excited about going to the library and probably going to the video game store as well. I'll update soon.

Sorry!

Sorry for not posting lately. I'm on my Xanga blog a lot more and I've gotten two featured posts this month so I've been busy replying to comments and writing posts. Finally I have time to post on here though.

Besides blogging I have been reading and writing my book. I need to get back to writing my book more, but I know I will have the first book in the series finished by the end of this year. I'm currently reading Hex by Arthur H. Lewis and it is interesting, I am finding out a lot of information I never knew about Rehmeyer's Hollow.

Today I went to the library and returned most of the books I borrowed -- still have a few to read -- and borrowed some more books, but they were just graphic novels and I easy read all within a couple days. I bought a few books from the library's book store. I got Ghosthunters And The Totally Moldy Baroness! by Cornelia Funke and The Gathering Dark by Christopher Golden. I'm going to have to get the rest of the Ghosthunter series eventually.

Well, I'll post as soon as I can. Now I'm going to write a book review on Goodreads.

So Many Things Going On!

I know I haven't updated in awhile, but I have been online. I mostly blog on Xanga and that is what I have been doing, writing blogging and even got one of my posts featured on the front page of Xanga last week! I was pretty excited about that.
Now tomorrow starts my local library's book sale. I'm going there around 6PM tomorrow because that is when it opens to the public. I'm hoping to find some books there that I want. I know I found quite a few at the Hershey library book sale. I guess I will see what I can find tomorrow and I will let you all know!

Then on Friday is when I meet Paranormal State! I ordered my tickets yesterday and it starts on Friday at 7PM and lasts about two hours. Ryan Buell is going to be doing a Q/A thing and afterwards is when the autograph signing starts. I'm hoping that maybe I will be able to get a picture with some of people of Paranormal State. I am so excited! Paranormal State is one of my favorite shows and to meet them is going to be great!
I am also getting ready for Halloween. You can see my layout on here is different and I changed my layout on Xanga a few days ago. I also have some Halloween stuff up in my room.

Well, I will let you all know what happens on Thursday and Friday. I will try to update on Saturday.

Borrowed Books From The Library

Yesterday I made my monthly trip to the Hershey library. I found some scary/horror type books to read and wrote them down on a piece of paper to take with me. I ended up getting a few more books then what was just on the list. Here is what I got:

Revolutionary Girl Utena by Chiho Saito
Graphic Classics: Dracula by Bram Stoker, retold by Fiona Macdonald
Bunnicula: A Rabbit - Tale of Mystery by Deborah and James Howe
Skeleton Man by Joseph Bruchac
Believing Is Seeing: Seven Stories by Diana Wynne Jones
The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill

So far I have read Dracula, Bunnicula: A Rabbit - Tale of Mystery and Revolutionary Girl. Dracula is pretty good, I haven't read the book, but figured I could at least start with the graphic novel version. Bunnicula: A Rabbit Tale of Mystery was just great. It was a nice, funny read. I loved the steak part :) Revolutionary Girl was very good. I plan on buying all the mangas of Revolutionary Girl now. Currently I'm reading Skeleton Man and I'm liking it so far.
