  • Big Horn Love

    [tweetmeme source=”nettiewriter” http://www.URL.com] It seems that several bloggers are taking part in a challenge where each day for 30 days they have to write about and provide a link to different songs that have meant something to them in their lives. Being a little commitment-phobic about blogging every day, it’s not a challenge I felt…

  • World Book Night

    [tweetmeme source=”nettiewriter” http://www.URL.com] When I heard about World Book Night I was very excited and signed up, crossing fingers, toes, eyes and anything else I could that I would be chosen. When I got the email telling me I was to be allotted 48 copies of Dissolution by C J Sansom, one of my favourite…
