Dineen tagged me! 15 things about books...

Captain’s Log, Stardate 12.01.2005

Dineen Miller tagged me for this game: List 15 facts and personal preferences about books:

1. I love ’em, love ’em, love ’em. Give me a book anyday.

2. I like Chicklit and Suspense. I also love Regency romances. I will admit to a secret liking for Silhouette Romances—you know, the sweet ones with the teal covers that are often a bit paranormal now? I will also read a Harlequin Presents occasionally—I just finished “The Italian’s Stolen Bride” by Emma Darcy that was entertaining. Plus I got it at Fictionwise.com (ebook) at a discount. :)

3. I can’t list my favorite authors, I know I’m going to forget one. You can see my favorite books if you go to my Amazon.com page and look at my reviews and listmania list.

4. Okay, I can list this favorite author—I love anything by Betty Neels. Her books are so British. I like the quaint, old-fashioned air of them. I also like Grace Livingston Hill’s books. They have a similar quality.

5. I have literally thousands of books in my home. It’s pathetic.

6. Book or movie? While I love movies, I’d usually opt for a book unless movie includes snuggling with my husband.

7. I have the 15th edition Chicago Manual of Style and I love it.

8. I give books away each month on my website. I’ll have December’s drawing up soon—I’m giving away two terrific book packs!

9. I carry a book with me everywhere. I hate sitting with nothing to do. If I don’t have a paperback tucked into my purse, I at least have my PDA with dozens of ebooks in it.

10. I like to eat while reading. I know it’s bad, so I have to control my portions before I start, but I enjoy it immensely. I will sip a bowl of soup while reading a Regency, or snack on veggie chips while finishing a Chicklit.

11. I hope to have one of my manuscripts become a published book someday.

12. I hope to see my friends’ manuscripts become published books someday.

13. I continue to be amazed and honored to personally have met so many terrific authors, editors, and agents.

14. I have a secret epic brewing inside me, a young adult fantasy series of 5 books and a prequel.

15. I used to dog-ear pages when I was younger, but these days I almost always use a bookmark. Plus I get so many of them from authors—it’s great! I have them strewn all over the house so I’m never in need of one.

Next up: (Unfortunately, Dineen already tagged the nutsos—er, I mean, people who post the most comments on my blog! Doh!)

Cheryl, Mir, Mary C., Paula, Dream, Val, Angie, Mary G., Rachel H., Brenda C.(some of you guys might be duplicates with Heather. Oh well.)

P.S. Happy 4th Anniversary, honeybunny!

    I posted my list. Blogger ain't always so quick on the draw, though, so it may not show up for HOURS and hours.

    My list is quite lovely, if I do say so unhumbly myself. I had a great time reading it. heh.

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures

In my newsletter this month, I link to my blog post about the noble titles in my Lady Wynwood’s Spies series, including Lady Wynwood’s title and that of Lady Aymer and Mr. Ackett’s father, Lord Ammler. I also posted a link to my “Ghetto Gongfu” blog post, which is for beginners who might want to try gongfu tea brewing but don’t want to spend a lot of money on equipment.
