Guest post, Christmas stye, at Books Take You Places

Posted on December 21, 2012 by janicu

In case you wondered if I was a giant dork, but you weren’t ENTIRELY sure, I reveal the proof in my guest post over at Alyssa’s blog, Books Take You Places, with a post entirely devoted to my November-to-December addiction: made-for-TV Christmas movies. They are my ultimate in guilty (but not really that guilty) pleasures.

My post is devoted to 10 holiday movies I’ve seen so far. Let it be said that I could have easily written about 10 more. Very easily. Something about this time of year makes me positively gleeful about my TV watching options and what’s going to be on on Lifetime, ABC Family, and the Hallmark Channel.

Secret Santa: YAcker edition

Posted on December 17, 2012 by janicu

There was a little YAckers Secret Santa this year and I just got my package today. I was thrilled by the thoughtful packaging – double bubblewrap and individually wrapped presents. This was so much fun to open!

Just look at that presentation.

Here’s what was inside:

Scottish Mulled Wine soap (smells AMAZING)
Adorkable by Sarra Manning (this made me very happy!)
CROSS-STITCH pattern of Richard Armitage!!! I could make a little pillow with his face on it. Why hello, best thing ever.
An adorable Hello Kitty card.

Thanks so much Sya!

It’s almost the end of another year, but this means that it is also time for another Smugglivus celebration over at The Book Smugglers. I am guest posting again with my top five reads of 2012 and my most highly anticipated of 2013. Please head on over to check out my picks. On the list are: one urban fantasy, one romantic comedy, and three young adult books (historical, contemporary Gothic, and fantasy). 🙂
