No one can say it isn't bad out in our little world. Here is another example how bad it is getting. I have to say this has sadden me. I actually enjoyed this magazine. But, in a couple of months Simple Scrapbooks magazine

will no longer be available. There are plans to put Simple Scrapbook features, in Creating Keepsakes. But really will that be the same? I don't think so. To be honest, lately Creating Keepsakes hasn't been really that appealing, except seeing work from Mou S. and Emily F. in there. Thank Goodness for that! This is truly just more sad news in the hobby world. Who's next?
As promise from my previous post, book chat. Sorry it was delayed, I was a bit under the weather, this past week. But as I was snugged in my bed, there was a book in my hand.
The first book I will chat about is the Confession of a Shopaholic

, by Sophie Kinsella. This is not a new release, but I have just got around to reading it. The book is also being released as a movie this month, and what got me interested in reading the book. The book was a fun read, but I found this other book featured in the Shopaholic collection a much funnier one, it was called Shopaholic Ties the Knot

. I really enjoyed this book, and found it very funny and a fast read. I can see this one made into a movie, and do hope they do make one. Finally, the next book I read will be Janet Evanovich's new release Plum Spooky

. It's her in between book in the Stephanie Plum adventures. These books are usually pretty funny, but as soon as I finish this one. I must get back and finish reading Nora Roberts book 3 of the Blood Brother trilogy. I believe I am stalling, because I don't want that story to end yet. LOL
