In My Mailbox

Though I haven't read it yet, the fact that The Scorch Trials came out this week makes it an amazing week. It is soon in my stack and I am SO excited for it. You should be too, for the record. But enough of that, on to what showed up for Toby and me this week.

And for those of you who will ask... I took this picture at 1 am, and woke him up to put him in his chair. He went back to sleep... He didn't even stay awake while I piled the books on him. That's lazy old fuzzbutt at his best.

And in other not really related but I am putting it in here anyhow news, the best friend came to visit last weekend and we carved pumpkins. We also learned that Toby doesn't actually care for the seeds, though he will chew them up and spit out the pieces. He also will try to each the carved pumpkins.... But here's our pumpkins for you Halloween lovers. Mine is the headless horseman, hers a dragon. I also tried getting Toby's picture, but he was not cooperative outside. He was minimally helpful inside but here he is with my pumpkin. He bolted right as the picture flashed and hid. Punk.
So. Happy Halloween. Yay books.

  3. Yay! I've been wanting the read the Hollow. I saw Jessica Verday at the Decatur Book Festival and I've been wanting to read her books ever since. I might have to bump them up the 'to read' list a little.
