The Sunday Post

   Happy Sunday! Welcome to my Sunday Post, a weekly blog news meme hosted by  caffeinatedbookreviewer . My blog is on the small side, so I decided I'll only be posting the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. The month of February has been eventful.

I successfully managed not to freeze, drown, or fly. I became an aunt to a beautiful niece, who just narrowly escaped being a leap year baby, and I'm pretty excited about her arrival.

I'd also like to meet John Ajvide Lindqvist because he made me love horror. I want to read Watership Down and Jurassic Park ...but for some odd reason I keep putting them off. I would like to have my copy of Miss Peregrine's School for Peculiars, signed. I'd like to have at least one of my own stories published... ...and see it on a Best-seller list ;-) I want to know how the Kingkiller Chronicles ends, which mean Patrick Rothfuss would have to

You'd have a swimming buddy for life, and someone to feed your enemies to...) Do you have any favorite animal characters?
