I made my own printable

Hi ya'll,

So this has like nothing to do with books... and probably doesn't go here... but I HAVE to share this with someone... I just got frustrated trying to find a printable that I liked... so.... I made one.

Yes. It is that easy. Like seriously that easy.

I went into Microsoft Word and I started with a new document. Then I selected a page border. After that I started Typing things that I need. Such as the name of my listing.

I should pause here and tell you that I wanted a paper form for my binder on my Etsy listings. I keep having to think and type at the same time...then I look at my description and I am think to myself... ugh... why didn't I plan that out better. So in order for me to plan better I created this...Thinking about doing a calendar type planner for my blog here... I have 17+ books to write about and am in the middle of a 8 part series that I am so tempted to spend the last of my paycheck on. More about that later.

Sorry.. I got off track again didn't I? See this is why its good to plan. Back to my printable and the listing.

So I typed everything I wanted and it looked like a list. Not appealing. So I created two column one on the left is much wider than the one on the right. I reserved the one on the right for Tags and Materials. But the one on the left is for the Listing Name, Date, Description and also the Price and some Notes. I really like the color green so I made the font all green and then changed the font type till I liked it. Same as you would in any Word Document.

I like things to be simple so I kept it that way. If you dont feel comfortable making your own then I suggest Pinterest for free printables.

Mercy Thompson Series (Moon Called)

So a while ago and when I say awhile I mean.... like 7 months ago, a friend of mine gave me a great series of books to read and I have been meaning to post about it for a long time.

So here is a review of the book Moon Called by Patricia Briggs. This is the first book in the Mercy Thompson Series. ( The Alpha and Omega Series not only correlates but is in the same time frame) I plan to write a review on those books too. :)

In this first book you meet a bunch of new characters and it is kinda hard to keep them all straight at first.

So here is a break down.

Mercy Thompson is a VW mechanic, a smartass, and can turn into a Coyote. Which can be a blessing and a curse.

Adam is the powerful Alpha who is also her next door neighbor and a royal pain in her behind.

No worries she knows how to keep him in line... I wont tell you how though, some things have to be discovered. ;)                                                                                                                                                                               Get yours here

One day while she is working on yet another VW, a young guy (and newly made werewolf) wanders into her shop and asks for work. After working there for a while a few guys come to take him back and they attack the Alpha's house and the werewolves who live there. Adam who is badly hurt is taken by Mercy to her foster father Bran (leader of all North American werewolves). With all of this there is also the attention of the local Vampire Seethe and the Fae who have come out to the humans all to contend with also. Mercy has her plate full and there is never a dull moment in her life.

I give this book 5 out of 5 Cups of Joe, As Patricia Briggs does a wonderful job of taking the reader on a never ending journey into the life of Mercy Thompson. Honestly even if werewolves are not your thing, you will enjoy the story and all of the characters.

OverDrive For Windows 8.1

I just downloaded a New App to my computer for Windows 8.1. Its called OverDrive. Its for reading and allows you to borrow books from library's. Here is the Awesome Part though.. instead of just One Counties Library System.. you get to Borrow from anywhere in the world. You can access any database of ebooks or audiobooks and its all free, cause your Borrowing them! All you need is a library card that is in Good Standing.

I personally am thinking that this may just turn out to be the best thing ever... cause well... I like FREE BOOKS. In fact most of the books that I have read lately have been free. I like to think of it as being economical with my money. The Truth is I just really like to read...and am not willing to pay a high price for a book that has been out for a while.

I have added a link for you to download it here: OverDrive


I also included a video here to the right that is going to show you how to have the books sent to your Kindle Device with out you having to use Amazon.

Hope that your enjoy it, and hope your get a lot of books read!
