The No Rest Winner Post
… NOT!
Hey Everyone!
After an uber-tiring hellish week at work (yeah, I know I sound like a broken record, but for the past 4 weeks it seems those are the kind of days/weeks I’m having at the office) this weekend instead of sleeping the day away and chilling we had our office retreat. I wasn’t very enthusiastic about spending 7 days of the week cooped up with my colleagues and start the week right away with no rest at all *sighs* Even though we went to a beautiful lakeside hotel and had fun having a scavenger hunt in the beautiful autumn forest, I still miss not having those 2 extra days to let the steam off and recharge my batteries before Monday rolls around. But enough complaining, let me tell you who were the winners this week.
This week congratulations are in order to
the lucky winners of a paperback copy of …

Wishlist: Holiday Edition #1
Hey Everyone!
Sure, you might find that it is still a bit early to think about Christmas and the holidays (though some of my fellow Book Lovers myself included don’t think such a thing is possible. Seriously, I count back the days ’till Christmas as soon as January rolls around 😉 ), but since there are so many of us we have to start early for everyone to get a chance to show their holiday wishlists. And who knows maybe you’ll get inspired for some gift ideas, either for yourself or your loved ones. 😉
So here are some holiday themed stories that caught my eye recently and that I can’t wait to get my hands on:
No Mistletoe Required by Jeanette Murray
Dan Beckins isn’t sure how he let his best friend con him into volunteering to build Santa’s Winter Wonderland at the local hospital. He’s got no problems with charity …
