Speaking of blogging, I apologize for the lack of posts lately! This has been the busiest season for me yet! Filled with activities, bajillions of choir performances, and a little sickness, Christmas has seriously snuck up on me! I'm so glad to have a day or two to sit down and sleep!! I hope you have a beautiful morning (snow filled or not) to snuggle in pajamas! Nothing beats sitting around a dying tree pulling presents out of socks!
MAY THIS SEASON BRING YOU LOTS OF LOVE AND HAPPINESS!! XOXO,

It's okay. If you don't know then we can just celebrate the New Year!
Oh man this post is so LATE, but I hope you all had so much fun partying out the New Year last night and have a super duper awesome NEW YEAR IN 2013! It's gonna be fabulous! From all the new releases in books to all the new people I'll meet, I'm pretty sure this is gonna be ONE AWESOME YEAR. I can feel it in my bones. :D Anyway, this is a time of Resolutions and the like SO....I went and made a few. For your enjoyment, I present...
- CONNECT with People more! I'm so busy I hardly have time to visit and comment on people's blogs other than my Bloggy Buddies. Lame-O. Time to fix that!
- GET CAUGHT UP on scheduling posts. I'm so behind it's not even funny. Getting caught up will mean FREEEEDOM!
- Get better at contacting publishers and reaching out to them. .....they aren't scary, they aren't scary....
- Get better at reading NetGalley books (aka Get A Kindle)
- Read the entirety of the UNABRIDGED edition of Les Miserables. Seeing the play, Movie, and the anniversary concerts have kinda pumped me up to the task.
Yeah that's seriously the main goals I have this year! What about you? What do you want to change with your blog? I'd love to see! Have a VERY Spiffy 2013 you guys! I can't wait for all the awesome to come!

I'm totally looking forward to all the fun geekiness that will happen in 2013 as well as all the bookish fun with you. But for now, I'm just excited to have a happy holiday with my family and see Les Miserables with my friends. I hope you all do something wonderful for your holiday and remember the true meaning of Christmas! No I don't mean Santa Claus.
And so, with that classic reminder, have a WONDERFUL HOLIDAY!

MEET SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD CANDYCANE CLAUS. She's the most popular girl at North Pole High. Her father is world-famous. And every day is Christmas. What more could any girl want? BOYS! And the new boy, Rudy Tutti, is hot chocolate. But he hates anything to do with Christmas!
When Candy and Rudy are forced to work together on a school Christmas-tree project, her world is turned upside down: Her grades start to suffer, she loses her taste for ice cream, and now the two North-Star-cross'd teens must contend with her overprotective father — Santa Claus — before Christmas is ruined for EVERYONE!

Inky's Blurbings:
This is a book that can be described in three words. Laugh. Out. Loud. Seriously! It's like this big Christmas spoof and nearly everything in this book is a PUN of some Christmas element. I had a lot of fun getting into this one. Totally a book to get you in the holiday season. Hence, a Christmas Eve review!
Candy, was a pretty hilarious narrator. She's sweet and funny and a bit sarcastic. She was a total laugh. I can't say that I really bonded or connected with her anyway, but I had lots of run reading from her perspective as she dealt with the horrible things coming her way. It wasn't hard to get into her voice and follow the story. She'll definitely keep your interest with her narrative. The supporting characters were very well done. I enjoyed them, and despite the easy predictability of them, it was totally fun to have them along for the ride.
However, I do think the writing was a little shaky. Oh it was descriptive and not too confusing, but I think that the main issue for me was the texting lingo woven in. Lol's and OMG's were use quite frequently. Not to mention, the first 1/3 of the book, they are heheheing and hahahaing and hohohoing too just about EVERYTHING. Um. Enough laughter. Please!
But, despite that, this book totally made me laugh with the hilarity of the Christmas puns. And I do have to admit that Rudy is a darling, hot boy. It was a very complex relationship but totally adorable. Nothing says problem like a big jolly man to get in the way of your new crush.

4 stars
for being a jolly fun Christmas read
Do you read any books to get you in the holiday season? Any recommendations Does this one sounds like something you would enjoy? Have a wonderful Christmas Eve!
