The Fireside

2012 is coming to a close. With that, I'm going to list my favorite movies of the year, in no order that I've seen. There are some great ones I've yet to see, however.

As you may very well know by now, I love to read. It was in the past 5-10 years however, that I not only became interested in reading  but books . This blog post is my write-up on books (hardcover, paperback and ebooks).

There are many others too, such as the Nook by Barnes & Noble. Depending on the compatibility of your ereader, epub is most likely the best file format to use. I'll provide a post-holiday update post January, which will an entire post dedicated to both Christmas and New Year's. For now, a very quick update on what I wrote last night... Still working away, still writing away. I did about 1700 words last night. I'm not sure if that's considered alot, but I covered quite a bit within that chapter I wrote. Sometime soon, who knows, I may proof it and do some minor editing to expand it (not on purpose for word or page count, of course, but for better flow). I had this chapter and the events it cov...

I saw these funny images online I want to share with you. I thought they were funny...entitled 'geek piss offs'. In which the quotes are mixed up and do not matches the characters / actors pictured.

My review from Goodreads....

It was announced today that The Walking Dead  will get a 4th season. Expect it to begin airing in October 2013 sometime. Season 3 has yet to finish, so that's great news. The current season will return in February with new episodes, finishing up the second half of the season.
