Hell's yeah! I'm Back! Along with my dog Momo...
That’s right ladies and gents! I’m back! After a month of
none stop writing (I didn’t write for one day, but it was the 4th of
July) for Camp NaNoWriMo, I have returned triumphet in that I reached my 50k
word count goal. I am a winner! My novel, which is tentatively called End is the Beginning but will more than likely
change to Doll Parts, is not quite
done story wise. My main characters, Ruby and Finn, decided to yank the reins
of the story away from me and well now they are in a pickle I’m trying to write
them out of. I believe I have come up with a writing schedule that will work
for me, which will included blogging time. I miss reviewing books: the good,
the bad, the ugly…miss it so much.
But, to start off my immersion back into the blogging world,
I bring to you a feature that I thought was just too cute: Momo’s Choice. For
those of you who don’t remember or don’t know what the hell Momo’s Choice is,
it’s where I take pictures of my teacup Chihuahua, Momo, with books that she “picked
out.” It’s honestly a way to mess with her. She hates getting her picture taken
so it’s a fun challenge to sneak up on her and, POW, take her picture.
So let me stop with my yammering and bring to you lovely
folks Momo’s Choice!
God’s Behaving Badly
By Marie
Phillips
Being a
Greek god is not all it once was. Yes, the twelve gods of Olympus are alive and
well in the twenty-first century, but they are crammed together in a London
townhouse--and none too happy about it. And they've had to get day jobs:
Artemis as a dog-walker, Apollo as a TV psychic, Aphrodite as a phone sex
operator, Dionysus as a DJ.
Even more
disturbingly, their powers are waning, and even turning mortals into trees--a
favorite pastime of Apollo's--is sapping their vital reserves of strength.
Soon, what
begins as a minor squabble between Aphrodite and Apollo escalates into an epic
battle of wills. Two perplexed humans, Alice and Neil, who are caught in the
crossfire, must fear not only for their own lives, but for the survival of
humankind. Nothing less than a true act of heroism is needed-but can these two
decidedly ordinary people replicate the feats of the mythical heroes and save
the world?
Why it’s
Momo’s Choice: It’s got a sassy
cover.
Why I do
think of the book? This book I bought a few years back and I remember it
was because of the cover (shocker there. Are you surprised?). Then I read the
story and I loved it. The gods are seen for what they are and that is
completely selfish and Alice and Neil are really just as Plain Jane and Joe
Schmo as you can get. I groaned at out loud and I laughed hysterically at the surprisingly
idiotic human jealously and revenge that the gods do to each other. If you are looking
for a great read to break up the monotony of what you normally read, I highly
recommend this book.
There you have it! Momo's Choice. I'll try to keep up with Momo's Choice on a weekly to biweekly basis. Depends on how crazy things are around my neck of the hood.
Remember folks, to always be yourself.
Unless you can be a pirate...then always be a pirate!
Arrgh me maties and yoo hoo!
