I’ve often found that the New Adult / Young Adult genre includes some of the most thought-provoking work in contemporary fiction, and Lori Ann Stephens’s latest novel, a dystopian thriller set in a near-future (or alternate reality – the distinction is unclear), frighteningly plausible version of Texas. Blue Running is so well crafted, it’s nearly unputdownable.

mmm nutmeg is totally essential to good egg nog too! :-) I’m a night person too. And when I don’t have specific things to do during the day its very easy for me to get all turned around.

If not, well….
I agree the scent of Noxzema is an instant memory trigger. I keep a tub around just for that purpose. Other favourites in your list that I would include in mine…nutmeg, novels, nesting, nifty, Northern Lights (have seen them – breath-taking) and yes napkins!
Now, where is the BD post? I will be back to check. Don’t make me leave multiple comments asking for it. I will! (wink)
In case I forget I want to wish you the very best on your Birthday! I almost forgot that you were a fellow Leo. Mine just past (August 14) I am now 38. It feels odd. 40 is just in my rear view mirror…YIKES! Anyway have a great one! I am glad that we have reconnected.
I totally agree with you on #7. Time for me to hit the sack… damn it!
Great list! Thanks for re-introducing me to Ogden Nash; I love his funny stuff!
My TT is about BED.
I could do with some cozy nesting right now. Alas, it’s not to be today.
Nesting, Night, Notebooks, and Novels – all wonderful items.
My TT is about mu Summer travels. And, if you like history, drop back occasionally during the week and answer my questions. You could win a prize. Prizes given away monthly until the end of the year (and some include downloads of my books).
Nesting, novels, noxema, napkins… I’m there with you. Noodling, too. I could spend my days doing that and at the end of the day… I’d have a novel.
Just the way my brain works.
Happy TT!
I forgot to wish you a happy birthday, too!
And, yes, you can guess the answers to the questions. They are part of my contest. The first one who answers the daily questions correctly, goes into a monthly drawing for a prize. So, please – yes, answer!!
Happy Birthday!
Noodling ewwww
NJ Yum – they are the Garden State:)
My husband and I don’t really celebrate birthdays, having found—to paraphrase Dorothy Parker– that when you’ve collected enough of them, the novelty wears off.
…but I love you for having pink hair at 37. Last year, when coloring my hair (and I am well over 37) I asked the stylist to make it “bright red” meaning, of course, one of the bright reds that hair naturally can be. She took me literally and dyed it “crayon red.” I was on my way to a wedding in Key West and couldn’t get the dye out—a strange experience; total strangers would stare at me incredulously and many of the wedding attendees (past students of mine) expressed astonishment. One told me it was “subversive,” which I liked….but in the end I didn’t dare keep it that color at my stage of life.
My husband was unenthusiastic. “You look like a pillar box,” he said. (those are the red English post boxes…)
WHO wouldn’t think to put napkins out???
I’m buying Noxema on my way home ;-)
I’m a night person, too. And Noxzema is a complete memory trigger. I haven’t used it in years, but if I smell it, it takes me back to my youth. (Which wasn’t really all that long ago.) Happy TT!
I can’t say I’ve ever though of New Jersey being a place where yummy produce is from, so your list has taught me something new!
Another great thing that starts with N… me!
Happy Belated TT :)
Hi MissMeliss! Happy Birthday. You are about 10 years younger than me – yay! (For you, not me.) I hope you’re having a fab day! Michele sent me.
OK, I have a mini-musical posted on my blog. I think it’s funny. My son wrote it and sings on it and my daughter does too. I’d love you to take a listen and I’d love lots of others to listen too! (But that’s OK if that’s too much.)
Have a wonderful Day!!!!!!
