Humpday Happenings...

This is a long overdue update...

First breakfast of 2015...

enjoying some home cooking: Ina Garten's Herb-Baked Eggs Recipe...

finished off Book 3 of the Arcana Chronicles...Dead of Winter

New recipe I found that I've made 3x already...

First time making blueberry pancakes...(thinking of you Ian!)

satisfied a craving...(thanks D!) purchased from Thu Hien Restaurant

As you can see I've been mostly keeping myself busy with breakfast, lunch and dinner and I can safely say no more rookie in the kitch! Still lots to learn, but I've come a far way! Hope you've been able to add some delish recipes to your repertoire as well!

Upcoming book release...The Arcana Chronicles Book 3 Dead of Winter

Dead of Winter by Kresley Cole

I spent the past weekend re-reading book 2 Endless Knight. I cannot contain my excitement that book 3 is finally here! I have a feeling with the way things are going Aric will pass, Evie being the one to do it. Releasing him from his misery, and she'll be the victor in the end. I mean after all this is written in her POV.

Readers have you been following this book series? What's your thoughts? #TeamAric all the way for me! I love a good underdog :D

Kresley Cole...Poison Princess...Thoughts

Last mentioned here and here...

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. Readers have you read this???
I was scared, riveted, glued to my seat! When is the next book coming? Will this be a trilogy???

Spolier alert:
Evie and Jack? or Death and Empress? White Rose significance? Who are the Major Arcana? Why do they need to die? Can't we all just get along? Survival of the fittest. Is Grams alive? Tarasova... Serena must have gotten the 411, perhaps her family?

Many questions unanswered...I like!!!
