You May be a Book-a-holic if you….

I’m busy working on edits.  As I have said, editing is a chore, but one I’m willing to do (over and over and over) because I’m committed to giving future readers of my book the best quality read I can.  Right now I feel I need to apologize profusely to my poor early beta readers.  It seems that I had forgotten how to use the comma in one of my earlier drafts.

Since I’m busy editing, I haven’t had time to plan anything to blog about, so here’s a little insight into me and my addiction to books.  I was a reader way before I became a writer (as it should be).

Fun Friday

I saw Jurassic World recently. It was entertaining, although I tend to be easily entertained and not known to be that picky with my movies. I go to a movie almost every week, so you can take a few risks. Anyway, I enjoyed Jurassic World. Too bad Chris Pratt was the straight man in the movie, I much preferred his wise-cracking character from Guardians of the Galaxy.

Other than that, the movie pretty much delivered everything thing I expected. One surprise though was the real star of the show – the Mosasaur, otherwise known as the T-Rex of the sea. Manitoba, the province where I live, was once completely underwater and so the Mosasaur was king in these parts. There was a fun article recently online about the movie vs the real Mosasaurs found in Manitoba:

The velociraptor had a bit of a starring role as well. After watching the movie, I don’t think this is a particularly good idea 😉
