Once again I've proved to be a bad, bad blogger girl!! And what's even worse is that I hate when other people don't update their blog and yet I constantly forget to do mine!
Thankfully I do have a good excuse since not only did I work all weekend at the library (still best job ever!!) but it was also my birthday on Saturday which meant my husband cooked dinner! Not only is he a great cook when he moves himself to be, but I hate cooking with a passion so even if he'd served up beans on toast I would've been happy (though as it turns out he went all fancy and did something very yummy and then followed it up with chocolate cake and cream. Nice!!!!)
Anyway, it was a lovely day though my six year old son was disappointed to discover that he didn't get any presents on my birthday! Still, he's already planning his own party which is only another six months away! What is it with Scorpio kids?
In other news, Kate over at Read This Book gave zombie a lovely review which always makes me happy!!!! Also, I'd just like to say how much I appreciate it when people write to let me know that they've seen my book in the store. This honestly means so much to me and it's even more exciting when they tell me my book was in the store but it's all been sold out. Yay to being sold out!!!!!!
Also, if there any House of Night fans out there, don't forget to go and check out Jessica Brody's fabulous Free Book Friday for Teens where there are five copies of Hunted up for grabs. It's only open to US and Canadian residents (boo since I want a signed copy as much as the next fangirl!!!) but if you're eligible then don't forget to enter.
In other news, I've just finished reading Alyson Noel's Evermore and it was of course totally, awesomely amazing and now I'm hanging out until Blue Moon is out after the little teaser at the back of the book!!!! I'm currently working my way through Brisingr but have a lot of critting and article writing to do not to mention working on two new ideas that I'm very excited about!
Oh, I also have a very happy husband since his team Everton just put Manchester United out of the FA cup semi final which means they're off to Wembley to play Chelsea.
So that's me, what's everyone else been up to?

Happy Belated B-Day!!!
Thanks for letting me know about the giveaway for Hunted, since I've been wanting to buy it forever!
I'm doing okay, I suppose. I think one of my fingers are broken, though.
Happy birthday! I'm glad you liked Evermore-I really enjoyed that book.
Belated birthday wishes :D
Have heard good things about Evermore, so intrigued
Happy belated birthday.
Things were a bit more relaxed this weekend because our instructor gave us another week to write our paper and in the other class the (immediate) tests are over (Thank goodness!!!!!). But somehow, the housework still went undone. Funny how that worked out. ;)
Have a good week.
OMG your birthday was on Saturday?! :O I didn't know. XD
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY AMANDA! Hope your wish comes true! You rock!
Evermore was great, I can't wait for the sequel. =)

Carrie - thank you!!!!!!
ND20 - boo on potential broken finger that sounds ouchy! And I hear you on Hunted, I've been putting it off because it's hard back but I'm dying to read it!
GreenBeenTeenQueen - thanks for the birthday wishes and yeah, Evermore was so fab. I still keep thinking about it - I'm going to do a seperate post on it soon!
Blodeuedd - Alyson's book is the best - though I knew it would be because I've loved all her other books that I've read!
Lucy - I hear you on the housework - I never managed to get all of mine done but then I figure that neither did JK Rowling so we're in good company!
Kate - thank you!!!!!!! And I know, I'm so dying for Blue Moon - it's been put foward a month so that's a good thing!!!!
Eleni - thank you!
Alyson - birthday was lovely (apart from when my son thought he should try and actually put the right number of candles on the cake and discovered he couldn't count that high!!!!!) and Evermore was beyond fabulous!!!!!
Happy Belated Birthday, Amanda! I'm glad you had a nice day.
I have EVERMORE in my TBR -I'll have to move it to the top!
Happy Belated Birthday!
Belated Happy Birthday! Hope your year will be very special and memorable :)
Chocolate cake and ice cream sounds like a wonderful combination to top off an excellent dinner prepared by a loved one.
