***SO MANY APOLOGIES***

I had been unable to get into my Goodreads account for years. If you have friended me, I have just friended you back (July 2021). If you have messaged me, I'm going to be working through those in the upcoming weeks.

Thank you all for reaching out and I'm so sorry.

Now onto the regularly scheduled bio:

Carrie Jones likes Skinny Cow fudgsicles and potatoes. She does not know how to spell fudgsicles. This has not prevented her from writing books. She lives with her cute family in Maine, but she grew up in Bedford, NH where she once had a séance with cool uber-comedian Sarah Silverman.

The Meyers brothers are from Bedford, too, so you’d think it would make Carrie funnier, coming from Bedford N.H. Obviously, something didn’t work.

Carrie has always liked cowboy hats but has never owned one. This is a very wrong thing. She graduated from Vermont College’s MFA program for writing. She has edited newspapers and poetry journals and has recently won awards from the Maine Press Association and also been awarded the Martin Dibner Fellowship as well as a Maine Literary Award.

Here’s the lowdown about Carrie…

1. Carrie can not drink coffee. It makes her insane. Do not give her caffeine.
2. Carrie is very responsive to loving strokes on the hair, kind of like a puppy. However, do not do this without asking first unless you are a ridiculously handsome man or an editor who is about to offer her a trillion dollars for the first draft of her novel.
3. Carrie is secretly really, really shy even though she’s pathetically outgoing in person. She has a very hard time calling people. So, if you want to talk to her, make the first move. And, if you’re her in-Maine female best friend, Jennifer, do NOT get mad at her because she is so bad at returning emails.
4. Carrie sometimes wears mismatched socks, if you do not think this is cool, do not tell her. You will hurt her feelings.
5. Carrie really, really wants you to like her books. Please like her books. PLEEEAASSSEEEE. She’ll be your best friend forever. That is, if you want a friend who is shy about calling and emailing and who wears mismatched socks and can’t drink caffeine and likes being pet on the head. Hhmmm….
6. Carrie is not above begging.
7. Carrie, like Belle in TIPS ON HAVING A GAY (ex) BOYFRIEND drinks Postum. It’s for the same reason, too.
8. Carrie loves Great Pyrenees dogs. They are huge and white, and furry and it looks like they have white eyeliner and mascara on, which is way too cute. Do you have one? Send a picture!
9. Carrie lives in Maine. She has a hard time with this in the winter. It is bleak in Maine in the winter. Imagine everything shades of gray and brown and no green anywhere except for in people’s noses. This is Maine in Winter. Maine in summer is the best place in the world, so it’s a trade-off. Feel free to invite Carrie to your house in the winter, but not if it’s in Greenland, Canada, or anywhere north of Florida.
10. Forget that. She’d still probably come.

"Zara white, since when has love ever not mattered?" ~ izzie


i totally love the characters, how they balance everything... how issie is all fun and not serious, while devyn is all serious and nerd..

and i really love both nick and astley ! !



it's weird, but they're cute when they fight.. :)
and i love it that even if they hate each other, they try to work together.. :)

zara:"it's okay gram, it's just josie and keith. they're your friends. they won't tell anyone they saw you."
gram betty:" ah, i know that, zara. i'm not worried about that."
zara:"then what are you worried about?"
gram betty:"that everyone saw me naked."


i love the character of grandma betty, plus my name is also betty!
she's like the grandma of my dreams.. :)



so totally love this part, i was waiting for zara to go crazy, but i guess she's too shock to even scream and run for the hills.. :)





love is magic

I like this series by Carrie Jones. It's almost a sparkly vampires with a twist series, but Jones writes circles around the dreck of Stephanie Meyer and is more imaginative in her story, as well. I'm kind of disappointed to find out there's a 4th book in the series, since I like the ambiguous ending of book 3. I found the first book slightly irritating in it's slightly abstract style, but Jones' writing grew on me, and I really liked book 2, which I think is the strongest of the series so far, followed by book 3, which is good, but feels a little like it's missing something. The series is definitely worth reading, and won't dumb you down like Meyer or make you long for a stake to put someone out of your misery.
