Talk About My Favorite Authors

So can you believe it I'm blogging again in the space of 2 days. Well I just needed to rant my frustation out to someone today about why I am seriously thinking of never ordering online from Barnes and Noble since they are now using this delivery service called Argix Direct which uses the USPS to deliver the packages. The USPS lately has been very bad in deliverying my packages from both Barnes and Noble as well as from other people which is not good at all. I use to get all of my packages delivered on time when it was scheduled to be delivered when they use to use UPS all the time to get their packages to their customers. Don't get me wrong I love Barnes and Noble but they are really getting horrible in their customer service since the Nook came out. I will be going to the post office and complaining about not getting my package when they say it was delivered with a notice left to pick it up. I never got a notice about picking it up and the time they said they delivered it my mom was at home and nobody rang the doorbell to deliver the package.

Well wish me luck about getting my books back from the post office because otherwise I will be asking for a full damn refund from Barnes and Noble who have already charged me for it.

So I know that I have been a very bad girl and haven't been a good blogger or book reviewer since I haven't posted anything since October of 2010 and it's now almost February 2011. Ever since I got my first job at Modell's Sporting Goods store I have been very lazy about posting my reviews of the books I've read when I use to post them all the time previously. Also for the new year I dyed my hair a light blond color that most people say looks better on me than my natural dark brown hair did because this color makes me look like less pale so that it gives me a tanned look.

Now it's 2011 and I want to get back to being the book blogger and reviewer that I use to be so though it going to take some time I will be posting my book reviews on all the books I've been recently reading. I recently got a NOOKcolor for myself as a Christmas present so I've been reading a lot of eBooks as well as the print books that I can't help but still buy to read. I've also taken the 2011 Book Challenge that is going on Goodreads and I have set myself up to read a goal of 600 books this year.

I've recently found a lot of good authors that I've decided to add to my wishlist on my NOOKcolor for when I have enough extra cash to buy them. I hope to one day get all the books on my NOOKcolor wishlist but it going to take time since I'm paid minimum wage at my job and the hours they give me as a part-timer isn't all that great with all the taxes taken out. I hope when I finally do my first taxes this year that I will be getting at least 10% of my gross pay which was about $4,000 though my mom tells me I'm only dreaming.

Okay so I'm rambling on and on about nothing really but it's been a while since I've blogged and I'm trying to get the hang of things again. I recently read Teresa Medeiros newest release Goonight Tweetheart and loved it so much that it finally got me completely into Twitter and TweetDeck which even though I have a Twitter account I never really used it like others do. Now I have TweetDeck downloaded on my PC and the app for my iPhone 4 so I have an organized view of all the tweets I want to know about. I also now know a bit about how most of the authors I follow on twitter mange to keep everything organized with their Twitter accounts and such.

All right now another thing that I want to get back to doing is hosting my live podcast show where I interview romance and young adult authors. Though that might be a bit complicated to do since Blog Talk Radio on February 1, 2011 will be making all free hosts limited to one, 30-minute show per day during non-primetime hours. That totally sucks big time and the only way to fix that is to upgrade to a paid plan which is so damn expensive that I just want to delete my account immediately but I don't since it's still a pretty good set up.
