Life turned upside down
TJ got a job for the Christmas holiday to help cover some of our upcoming expenses, including Christmas presents and repairs to the house plus my college tuition. Since he was laid off last spring, money has been tight, and this is a real blessing.
But 50 hours a week! It’s turned our lives upside down. Bedtime is earlier because TJ gets up at 5 in the morning.
I’ve been working long hours too as

“I like the dark; it is safer here, where no one can see me. The shadows caress me; friends hugging me.”

“A rustle of wings and a hawk feather drifts down to me. Snatching it from the air, I look up into the trees, but nothing’s there. So I tuck the feather into my hair.
“What are you doing?”
My stomach leaps into my throat, and I jump up, stumbling backward, and fall on my butt in the middle of the path. In the tree above me, a teenage boy perches on a branch. He’s dressed in traditional deerskin breeches, a talon necklace around his neck, but rather than moccasins, his feet are bare. He is shirtless, and lean muscles cord his body.
His intense eyes capture my attention. They’re like golden fathomless pools. I could get lost in them.
“Don’t your feet get hurt, walking barefoot on the forest floor?” I ask.
“I rarely walk.” He drops down in front of me. His face is so close that I take a step back and thump into a tree. He leans toward me and sniffs. “You smell different. What are you?”
“I’m a girl.” I can’t take my gaze from his.
“No, humans stink. You smell…” He sniffs my hair and grins. “You smell good.”
“Is there a reason that you’re invading my space? I have somewhere to be.” My voice cracks.
He tugs one of my braids and winks at me. My pulse quickens, and my breath catches in my throat. His eyes study me with intensity, and he leans closer. Is he going to kiss me?”

I do like Maggie Stiefvater! :) I have yet to finish THE RAVEN BOYS, but I started it on audio and have it in hardcover too. I actually got to hear her speak at a conference this fall... she was great!
Hey! I'm glad you like my blog and that you noticed my drawing. Thanks for adding me! :D
Good morning, Rita!Thank you for adding me!
Hi Rita, thanks for adding me as a friend. Actually the ones you've recommended to me such as Hunger Games are one of my favorite series,. take care! :)
Hi, Rita. Best of luck on the anthology! I heard about it from Kyle. There are so many great YA books out there! They offer a nice break from my usual reads as they're often more imaginative and seem to veer away from many of the formulas emerging in their adult counterparts.
Looking forward to reading your reviews and trolling through your lists!
hello! wow thanks so much for adding me as a friend! You asked me how the Short Second Life of Bree Tanner si going and well to tell you the truth it was kind of interesting to see another perspective to a story i already love;but i don't really feel like it's anything more than a glorified fan fiction. A fun read but Stephenie could do better. Anyways i'm super excited to read Unlocked! it seems like a really interesting story!Thanks again:)\Avery
Hi Rita, thanks for approving my invitation. Wow, your blog is very fun and thoughtful!
Hi, Rita. I've added you, thanks for the ask. See you around. :)
Thanks for the kind words. Keep writing and try to love every word you write!
