When Life Gets in the Way

I know, I know.  I haven't been around in ages.  I've been so busy with school stuff that I had literally NO blogging or reading time these last few weeks.  I was miserable.  And writing two very long term papers that included lots of research of things I'm really not interested in.  Unless you count the paper on ghost stories.  That would have been fun if the articles I wanted to use for it had actually existed in the library databases!!  But no..

Now that the bulk of my end of semester work is done, I will be blogging and reading like usual.  I have the rest of this week off for Thanksgiving (thank you!!) and then just two weeks of class, and then one week of exams. 

Even though I haven't gotten any reading done, quite a few new books have come into my possession:

They are all from France, and they shipped soooo much faster than I was expecting!  I'm so happy to have them all :)  I'll post what they are about as I read them!  Isn't the little "birdie" on the Alzabane cover so cute??!

I also got a book called The Anatomy of Ghosts in the mail from the publisher, and it looks amazing.  I cannot wait to start reading it!

You have no idea how happy I am to be back here.  I felt like I was being taken over by schoolwork, and blogging is what usually keeps me somewhat sane when life gets stressful!  

Happy Thanksgiving to all you Americans out there!

Oh just a P.S. to my Halloween giveaway winners-your books will be mailed out this week.  My local bookstore didn't have them in stock and had to order them for me, and I'm going to pick them up from the store today :)
