Well, would you look at that! knoifey-spoony.com is open again. Never thought you'd see the day, did you? *innocent look*
Anyway, welcome! This is my very own personal website. Me being known as Apprentice by most. If you're looking for my fanlisting collective, just jump on over to Like Whoa! (slightly-bonkers.net) and you'll be right as rain. Similarly, if you're after my personal blog, feel free to take a visit to my LiveJournal.
If you're a fanlisting owner and you're looking for your button, you'll need the Joined page at my collective. :)
Less than a month, imagine that! I'm making progress, people. :)
I'm sure you'll be shocked to hear I have updates for my 2008 Reading List to share, too!
I was kind of a bit cheeky, though. My sister had been bugging me to read a book she'd finished, so a week or something after I finished book 10 in 'The Wheel Of Time' series by Robert Jordan, 'Crossroads Of Twilight', I figured that since I didn't have the 11th book yet, I might as well read her book, 'Jennifer Government' by Max Barry.
Both good books, certainly, but the former moreso in the latter, I would obviously say. Fantasy-genre geek that I am and all.
So anyway, rather than get my reading list page all messy, I decided to add the 10th book on its own, then the solo book, and I'll add the 11th book (bought last week!) on its own as well when I've read it (haven't started yet, but I'll get there). Sound good to you guys? Good.
Aaand that's about it, really, aside from a small bit of fanlisting collective news: went through all my fanlistings' affiliates and deleted dead links and updated moved fanlistings as necessary.
It really does seem like simple courtesy to me to notify your site affiliates when you move or close a fanlisting, but I guess that's not a widely shared sentiment (I deleted over half my collective affiliates alone! That's like 40, man!). Oh, well. My affiliates pages are sparkly and tidy now, at any rate. :D
Okay, I'm going to piss off before I break my laptop by face-plating into in my sleep-deprived state. Words always welcome.
IT'S OKAY NOBODY PANIC I'M NOT DEAD!
I've just, ah, um, been busy? XD Okay, no, not exactly. I sort of went on a break from book reading for a few months there, and so had nothing particularly interesting to update the blog with. Poor excuse, I know, but it's all I've got.
On the plus side, I now have a good dollop of stuff to tell you about re: site updates!
I finally added the following two books to my 2007 Reading List: 'Lord Of Chaos' and 'A Crown Of Swords' by Robert Jordan. Books 6 and 7 in that order of 'The Wheel Of Time' series!
However, the exciting news is that since we're no longer in 2007, I've moved last year's reading list to its own page, which can now be found here! And to break in the shiny new 2008 Reading List, books 8 and 9 from the same series mentioned above: 'The Path Of Daggers' and 'Winter's Heart'.
Now, I have actually read the 10th book, but as you'll recall, I'm adding the books in pairs to conserve space, so adding it will have to wait until I've read the 11th book as well (absolutely dying for it here).
In other internet news, I built my first fanlisting in over 2 years! It's for my closest friend, Kara, who owns her own website at words-fail.net. I love that crazy goofball, and I'm glad I didn't misplace my webdesigning mojo during my downtime, 'cause she deserves the best I could give her. ♥
Take care, my little butterflies, and remember I always love to hear from you!
Oops, didn't update at all in October. My bad. Hope my American friends had an exiciting (but not too exciting, because heart attacks make for sad holidays) Hallowe'en, anyway. :)
Just another 2007 Reading List update for you. Four books this time, all from 'The Wheel Of Time' series that I mentioned in my last news entry! I'm determined to finish this series before I start a new one. I have a terrible habit of buying the first books in half a dozen series, which means by the time I've read all the first books, I get back around to the first series I starting reading and I've forgotten what happened at the start and have to read it again to refresh myself. And when I end up getting to the second book, I've read second books from a bunch of the other series, so I have to read the first two books again, and so on and so forth.
You see my dilemma.
So at the moment I'm in something of a frenzy of reading, and I can't say I'm not loving it. Books make me happy. Though they make my eyes cranky. And how.
Anyway, what was I saying?
Right, book additions!
'The Great Hunt', 'The Dragon Reborn', 'The Shadow Rising', and 'The Fires Of Heaven' by Robert Jordan: books 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively.
As you'll notice, I'm adding them in pairs since it'd take up a whole lot of unnecessary space adding them on their own, its being such a long series and all.
Oh, and as of the end of last month, I have actually finished the 6th book, but as I said, adding in pairs seems more efficient to me, so when I've finished the seventh, I'll go ahead and add them both. :)
Lastly, I'd like to send a hugely thankful thanks to Lamb and Having a fit in Trinidad (;) for their utterly amazing emails. I have yet to reply to them due to my self-inflicted partial internet ban (possibly it is also because of my unforgivable laziness), but I'm getting onto it as soon as I finish updating here. You guys made my month with those, and I still get all wide-eyed thinking about them! ♥
Think that's all, then. Hope you're all doing hunky dory.
