Too late

So i wrote a great (ok... that could be a stretch but, ya know it's my recounting) post for Road Trip Wednesday. It was about my fave book of the month. Only, now (here in Aussie) it's July thanks to blogger locking me out for 2 days at random.

So, the book I was planning to rave about was 'on the jellicoe road' by Melina Marchetta. loved it, loved it, loved it.

In my great, lost post I also explained how the Aussie RWA do a June Challenge a bit like NaNo and i signed up for 40k... which left little time for reading. But if i don't read i wilt... so i made time. I also managed 40008 words on the WIP and i still love it.

Happy me!

Too easy? What about...

A girl volunteers for a reality TV fight to the death in an arena to save her sister.

Anyone know these? Interesting to note that these are both pretty simple, maybe I need to look for that in the WIP.

What is the strangest/weirdest thing you've ever researched?

I've looked up a range of stuff... hmmm... the strangest...

So far the one that got me the strangest look when someone walked in was my research into home made tattoos. Combine it with the fact i've been wanting a tattoo myself and hubby thought i'd taken cheap to a new level. I hurried to reassure him.

Other interesting and hopefully useful stuff includes antique shops in San Fransisco, number of people on a spaceship, how to engage students and psychology of slavery. It does kind of fit together.

Kind of.
