21 books and 6,337 pages of mostly delicious reading. (Art just pointed out to me that War and Peace is only 1296 pages long)

Some favorites-

*If you like a bit of cooking in your history, make sure you check out my Cross-Bloggination post at The Lost Entiwife or the review of 97 Orchard.

*New to YA? You must read The Eternal Ones.

*My review isn’t up yet, but I LAUGHED AND LAUGHED at Johannes Cabal The Detective. Seriously, the sarcasm was so funny that I was grateful that I wasn’t reading in public. Agatha Christie, eat your heart out.

All of that reading left us just enough time to take Murphy Grace, AKA the Beast, on his first trip to the beach. He did well, didn’t pee in the water, and is ready to go again.

A Bit about Me(Me) ~ I want to be Clad in Leather!

by Gwen

It is time once again, to step out from behind the book and get to know one another better. 

We all have a story and a life beyond the book and thanks to Danielle from There’s A Book, we get share. She asks the questions and we get to answer.

Who is your favorite female character, in a book or on a TV show/movie? Why?

My favorite female character would have to be Sydney Bristow from Alias. Played by Jennifer Garner, she proved that women are just as accomplished as men and can look hot while doing it!

I mean, she had a cool wardrobe, got to go to all sorts of neat places and no one got the best of her. (sure, there were often people shooting at her, but hey, danger can be exciting. Right?) That is something that I really admire in a person, even if she happens to be fictional.

Sydney could do it all and manage to look stunning at the same time. Now any woman that can do that and save the country while dealing with the fact that her mother is a Russian Spy. When my mom defected to another political party I was a mess for days. (I am still not over it that, traitor)

Sydney doesn’t take $%$ and isn’t afraid to dole it out and I wish that I was that strong.

One other character that I really can identify with is Dana Sculley from The X Files. She rocked it too, but didn’t have the wardrobe that I could drool over.
