Looking for that Wow Factor. Can you Help?

I read a lot. I mean, what writer doesn't really? But you know what? Most of the books I've read lately are missing that Wow Factor. You know the feeling: you can't put the book down. Who cares what else is going on in the rest of the world. You must finish that book!

What gives?

So here's my challenge to you: what's the last book you've read that gave you that Wow Factor? Would you mind sharing it? Because I'm sick of reading so-so, a-okay novels.

Motivational Gun Posters

Okay, not getting political here (so if you hate guns, post your thoughts elsewhere); however, I did think some of these were funny...in a 2nd amendment sort of way. Enjoy.

Baby Makes Three!

I have a confession, in addition to moving and job hunting, there's another reason why I've been neglecting this blog. I'm pregnant. Yep, the hubby and I are expecting our first baby on March 2nd. I wish I had a cool ultrasound picture to share with you all, but that comes in 2 more weeks at our 18 week appointment. Until then, isn't the picture of this baby adorable?

Checking In

Hello fellow Bloggers,

Just wanted to stop by and say "hi!" to all of you. I seem to be neglecting all of your wonderful blogs, but I PROMISE to get back with all of you. Soon. Like tomorrow.

And I really shouldn't feel too bad, it seems like a lot of you have been busy too!!!

I could use a NaNoWriMo

Couldn't you? I think once again this year NaNoWriMo will be perfect timing for me, as I'm currently outlining my WIP and researching away. Sometimes the camaraderie of writing with others really gets me motivated. I'm not big on the whole writer sit-ins, as I need solitude to write well, but the thought of thousands of others laboring away is quiet inspirational.

What about you? Any plans for NaNoWriMO?
