Happy Sunday Salon everyone. Time is flying by, it's near the end of September already. I hope you're enjoying the beautiful Fall weather. I love this time of year.
I did get some interesting reads in this past week:
A Jolly Good Fellow : A Jolly Good Fellow was a quick and interesting read. I didn't like Duncan much, but I did like Gabriel. The author keeps the story going with plot twists....read more here....
Dracula: I like how Bram Stoker sets the mood. There is a general dark and errie mood to the story...

In the mail this week:
An ARC of Any Given Doomsday (The Phoenix Chronicles)by Lori Handeland arrived from St. Martin's Press thanks to Library Thing. Release date is: November 4, 2008.
Elizabeth Phoenix once used her unique skills as a psychic to help in the Milwaukee Police Department’s fight against injustice. But when Liz’s foster mother is found viciously murdered—and Liz is discovered unconscious at the scene—her only memory of the crime comes in the form of terrifying dreams...of creatures more horrific than anything Liz has seen in real life. What do these visions mean? And what in the world do they have to do with her former lover, Jimmy Sanducci?
While the police question Jimmy in the murder, Jimmy opens Liz’s eyes to a supernatural war that has raged since the dawn of time in which innocent people are hunted by malevolent beings disguised as humans. Only a chosen few have the ability to fight their evil, and Jimmy believes Liz is among them. Now, with her senses heightened, new feelings are rising within Liz—ones that re-ignite her dangerous attraction to Jimmy. But Jimmy has a secret that will rock Liz to her core…and put the survival of the human race in peril.
Sounds good? It is. I've been hooked on it since page one.

Another surprise arrived in the mail this week:
This isn't a book, but a pattern calendar. My copy of Crochet Pattern-a-Day: 2009 arrived. It has a crochet pattern available for each day of the year. The reason I'm posting it here is because, as some of you may know, I crochet and I also write crochet patterns.
This is my 3rd year my patterns are in the calendar, it's always fun to see my patterns published in there. Four of my patterns made it in. I was cracking up because in one of them my hubby is modeling a hat! lol. I thought that was very funny. My daughter is holding a toy in the other pic.
My patterns included are:
My Guys Hat: june 9
Ollivander Octopus: november 7&8
Beary Cute Hat: march 3
Crocheted Poo: october 8

That's it for this Sunday. What have you been up to?
