Yesterday was another chill day for David and me around these here parts. While he was bizzy working on an exciting new project, I was bizzying myself with doing a whole lotta nothing. I’ve let my reading pile get way to big so I’m really trying to devote as much time as I can to reading so that I can finally get thru some great books that I’ve been dying to read. I’m in the midst of reading Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill and I am enjoying it immensely:
Next on my plate is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith. Since David and I are flying out to Chicago this weekend, I’m hoping to get in as much reading as I can while I can.
This afternoon, tho, I think we’re gonna try to get out and see the new Disney film Earth. We are big fans of the Planet Earth DVDs so we’re hoping this new film will be just as entertaining. Yeah, not much exciting news to report … but life is good :)
I just finished Some Girls Bite. Loved it!!
Not going to the Britney Spears concert, but I so want to stalk you since you’ll be near me! ;-) (In a good, friendly, non-stalker way, of course…)
hahah! i read your post really quickly and i thought you were gonna read a book called “pride and prejudice and zombies” i was like… huh?? what is THAT book about???
@n1cole — yes, that’s exactly what I wrote ;) You can read all about the book here: http://www.chroniclebooks.com/.....d-Zombies/
Omg..I want to see that movie! It looks so good!! Let us know how it was…I hope you can rent it after the theater.
i’ve been trying to get a copy of pride and prejudice and zombies but it’s out of stock everywhere. it sounds amazing, let us know how it is!
I have a great story recommendation for you. I know you read the Twilight series, so you have to read the fanfic “Wide Awake.” You may have already heard about it. It’s really, really good. I dare say almost better than Twilight? It’s very deep. Here’s the link, if you have time to check it out:

Awww. It’s such a shame you will be out of town this weekend. You’ll miss Spencer & Heidi’s wedding! You were going-right??? *LOL!!*
I read Some Girls Bite because you wrote about it! I liked it! Just thought I’d say so. I also have to respectfully disagree with a previous commenter about Wide Awake, but to each her own.
I really want to read Pride & Prejudice and Zombies, but it’s been sold out of our bookstore and is on backorder. Blech.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is freakin awesome! You will LOVE it!!!
trent, have you ever been to the chi?
Pride & Prejudice & Zombies and Some Girls Bite has been added to my shopping cart on Amazon.
Hope you enjoy Chicago! It’s going to be a great weekend here! almost 80 tomorrow they say and the same on Saturday! Sounds like you’re bring some LA weather with you.
Oh wow! make sure you give us a review of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I would love to hear if it’s actually good.
Forewarning?:

Trent, just an FYI. I screened Earth two weeks ago (I live in Orlando). SO DISAPPOINTING. Nothing new, in fact the exact SAME scenes, with the exact SAME narration by James Earl Jones instead of Sigourney Weaver. If I had paid I would have been pissed. There isn’t ANY new footage. In fact, even the ‘outtakes’ at the film’s end were the same ones played on Planet Earth. I can’t believe Disney got away with this- and it seems very shady to me.
Also, the whole “Follow three animal families” BS? They highlight the Polar Bears, Elephants and Whales for maybe 15 minutes total.
Save your money and tune into Discovery in HD- better picture and it’s FREE at home. Even my nine-year-old daughter called Disney out for this film. To be honest, I’m still a bit shocked.
Surely you’ll be able to get your hands on a copy of P&P&Z at some bookstore. I had pre-ordered mine from Amazon, canceled it when it was going to take longer than expected, then realized that it was sold out all over.
I found a copy at Hastings and am currently reading away.
I just finished P&P&Z! It was the only way I could stomach Jane Austin.
You’re going to luuuurve it!
I went out and bought Some Girls Bite after you mentioned it last week.
Finished it in hours and loved it.
Can’t wait for the next!
I am so not into that zombie stuff!!
Yelk but that’s just me:)
