Happy Third-Person Thursday!


"Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." ~Albert Einstein

The DesertLioness welcomes the pride to Third Person Thursday! Enjoy the insanity.

The Random Word of the Day is *drumroll*:

Scalage
1. An assessed percentage of the total price or measured amount of goods being shipped or stored, used to figure a deduction from the price or amount to reflect normal shrinkage or depletion of the goods.
2. The estimated amount of lumber in logs being scaled.

Todays Leo Horoscope:
Things might get a bit confusing for you today, Leo. Don't feel like you need to make sense of it all. In fact, this task may be impossible. Just be yourself. Let your creative nature shine through. Other people are quite malleable, and you should feel free to take the lead in just about any situation. Make sure, however, that you consider other people's needs.

Now, on to the other Stuff:

Review for The Wallflower by Dana Marie Bell:

Summary:

Is Emma ready for a bite?

A Hunting Love story, Halle Puma Series Book 1.

Emma Carter has been in love with Max Cannon since high school, but he barely knew she existed. Now she runs her own unique curio shop, and she’s finally come out her shell and into her own.

When Max returns to his small home town to take up his duties as the Halle Pride’s Alpha, he finds that shy little Emma has grown up. That small spark of something he’d always felt around the teenager has blossomed into something more—his mate!

Taking her “out for a bite” ensures that the luscious Emma will be permanently his.

But Max’s ex has plans of her own. Plans that don’t include Emma being around to interfere. To keep her Alpha, Emma must prove to the Pride that she has what it takes to be Max’s mate.

Review

Everybody loves a good shifter story; I know I do. Dana Marie Bell takes you to a little modern day down with a very old secret, then again, aren't there ALWAYS old secrets?

The story in itself is pretty short and kind of leaves you wanting more, almost cliffhangerish. You get a decent feel for the characters, although its nothing too in depth. Very very passable though. Its quick, sexy, and a bit too easy going, if you ask me. Lots of clique-ish problems for the main character and such, but all in all a very enthralling read!

Drabbles:

Yesterday was decently uneventful for the DesertLioness. Read 2 books, finished both. This caused the Lioness to not finish her project for school, but oh well. There was an earthquake though, for all you who didn't feel it! The lioness felt it...was on the ground when it happened. All the dogs were going crazy.

Fun News: The lioness is participating in a mock book tour, so a special review post will be made just for it. The lioness must read it first...

That is all the Lioness wishes to say for today!

First Official Day!

"I'm not afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens." ~Woody Allen

Welcome to Wednesday! The Random Word of the Day is...
panlogism
1. the doctrine that the universe is a realization or act of the Logos.
2. the Hegelian doctrine that logos or reason informs the absolute or absolute reality. — panlogist, n. — panlogical, panlogistic, panlogistical, adj.

Today's Leo Horoscope
Stop being an enabler to someone you care deeply about, Leo. It could be that you're helping to continue dangerous addictive behavior simply because you want to avoid a nasty confrontation. Realize that this is doing neither party any good. The more you perpetuate the lie, the more it will continue to hurt all parties involved. Be open and honest with your concerns.

Now on to other Stuff

Drabbles:
Well, we made it to day one, but there still isn't much going on. Hopefully soon I can have some good stuff to put up here pertaining to interesting things that just might catch your interest.

There isn't much going on with any artwork that I'm doing, not yet at least. Working on that little tidbit.

Tomorrow is Third Person Thursday! So don't forget; if you're going to post a comment it MUST be in third person, or my army of crickets will come after you.

Have a great day!

Welcome to the Den!


Hey there all! welcome to the Leo's den. Here you will find the random drabbles of a mostly bored teenager.

Here you will find insights to many different things in the media, art, and literary worlds. Book signings, other bloggers, contests(eventually), and many other things. Consider this entertainment of the zombie-minded.

So hey, if you feel like having a laugh, go ahead and follow this roller coaster of a blog. In like a lamb, out like a lion!

Some things I have decided about this little amusement thing of mine. Certain days will have certain themes, so to speak. Thursday, for example (this idea is compliments of my awesome friend), is Third person thursday. I will let you know when I come up with other ideas.

Now, like most of you, I LOVE the holidays, they give me an excuse to dress to my best. SO, sometimes (eventually) I may be having some costume contests, poetry contests, and the like.

I am very open to ideas as to what you think I should have on here, so please give me a holler and let me know!
