*Just in case you haven't heard yet, the June Bookworms Carnival is up and you should definitely check it out.
*I have exactly four more days of work to get through before I get a vacation. All I can say is, thank god Monday is out of the way.
*I just got started watching Battlestar Galactica. How did I never watch this before?? I can't wait for the next disk from Netflix.
*It's Monday, so those are all of the tidbits for the day. You can look forward to more reviews this week, as I just finished Marie-Therese: Child of Terror and How I Live Now. I need time to collect my thoughts on those two marvelous books.

Zombies, Bookworms Carnival, and Booking Through Thursday
If you have ever read a book and thought this could be improved by the addition of a zombie, then here is the contest for you. Writer Maureen Johnson is running a contest where you can rewrite a short passage from a book and add in a zombie. She is having 2 rounds, the first round deadline is February 14th! The second round takes place from February 16th-February 21st.
So hurry up! It's not hard. I popped off two already, which I will no doubt share at some point for a Weekend Fiction Break. I know you all have immense piles of books, surely one of them can be spiced up by a zombie!
In non-Zombie news, the February Bookworms carnival is up! And it is pretty darn amazing. The host this month, Renay, put a lot of work into it. Check it out, and you'll be adding tons to your tbr pile.
Here’s something for Valentine’s Day.
Have you ever fallen out of love with a favorite author? Was the last book you read by the author so bad, you broke up with them and haven’t read their work since? Could they ever lure you back?
I loved Beauty, The Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley. Loved, loved, loved. Like reread constantly and did not get sick of them. It took me anther three books to realize I didn't like her other stuff. I didn't like The Outlaws of Sherwood, but I still went and purchased Spindle's End. Hated it. Checked out Rose Daughter from the library and couldn't finish it. I didn't want to give up on Robin McKinley, but to tell you the truth, I gave her three chances and my heart was just broken after that. Maybe a special valentine's day miracle will bring me back as a fan.
(Side note: I forgot it was Valentine's Day until I was looking at the BTT link. Don't tell my husband.)
