May in Review (Veggies, Books, and Lack of Blogging)
Hi friends, remember me? You might have forgotten with from the lack of decent posts. It's been a strange month. I wasn't too busy and it wasn't for a lack of thoughts that limited the writing. It just didn't happen that much. I missed the act of writing so I think I'll be back to regular blogging in June.
Veggie month was a success. Rules were followed. Veggies were eaten. I watched Food Inc. and finished Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. I am glad for the once a year challenge but I am looking forward to eating meat again. I'm thinking about stopping at the 24hr grocery store on my ways home to pick
Book wise it was a great month. I think Veronica Roth's Divergent was my favourite reads. The characters are well developed, the world is consistent and believable, and I like the dystopian society she set up. I read it at the start of the month and I'm still pondering the five fractions and which I would join. I'm really looking forward to the sequel, Insurgent, which was release this month. I also enjoyed Death comes to Pemberley by P. D. James, Out of Sight, Out of Time and Uncommon Criminals both by Ally Carter, and Shannon Hale's Midnight in Austenland. I also was excited to finish Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. With all the reading I completed two more challenges. Here's were those stand:

Now as for writing ... other people's writing ... you know, the anthology?
Lack of blogging indeed - I have not been able to contact you and could not think of any reason for you to read your blog if you were not posting there. (Mind you, you aren't posting here either!)
And I couldn't find you in the phone book.
Am I too late to submit for the anthology? How much longer do I have?
I have my 30 word bio written and maybe a page of my contribution.
Backwards, eh?
Please message me with your answer.
Thanks, Jane(y)
