Follow Friday

 

Yay! IT'S FRIDAY! Every Friday Parajunkee host Follow Friday. Today's question is:
 Q. Just like Ashley said (love it) "Ashley the girl..." who are You the Boy/Girl, instead of You the blogger?
I don't think I'm very interesting but here goes :) So my full name although my signature has Neri is Nerissa, I am a mom of two beautiful little girls, married to my high school sweetheart, work full time and go to school part-time. I have one dog, her name is Lilo (from Lilo & Stitch) I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up (although i'm 29) so I am taking random classes at the community college until I can figure out what it is I want to do with myself. My life is a little hectic and now I found a new addiction to add, blogging and making new friends who share the same interest :).
Recently found a new hobby, photography. I bought a DSLR camera in November and have been playing around with trying to figure out how to capture more natural pictures of my family than the posed shots. I have also been trying to figure out photoshop which is a beast on its own.

Below are some of the pictures I've taken, the last picture is of my dog, Lilo.

Music


I love music as much as I love reading a good book. With music you can be creative tell a story and express yourself, it's a form of art just like reading a book is. With books the author has a story that they want to tell and through their writing they are able to express themselves. With this said both music and books are part of my life you can call it my drug of choice. :)

So I am sharing some of my favorite artist/songs today. What kind of music do you listen to? Which artist is your favorite? Leave a comment I'll be happy to read what your interest are.

Happy Thursday!


Kings of Leon- Pyro  ( Not only do I love the song but I love the video as well)





Paramore- Misguided Ghost




Adele- Rolling in the Deep

Waiting on Wednesday(3)


Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at breakingthespine, that showcase upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.


For this week, I have picked Devil's Business (Black London #4) by Caitlin Kittredge.





Let me first say, I love this series! The writing is brilliant and I love the characters and the world that Ms. Kittredge builds.

Since this is the fourth book in the series, I will give you the synopsis for the first book in order not to spoil the first book for you.


Street Magic (Black London #1)

Her name is Pete Caldecott. She was just sixteen when she met Jack Winter, a gorgeous, larger-than-life mage who thrilled her with his witchcraft. Then a spirit Jack summoned killed him before Pete's eys--or so she thought. Now a detective, Pete is investigating the case of a young girl kidnapped from the streets of London. A tipster's chilling prediction has led police directly to the child...but when Pete meets the informant, she's shocked to learn he is none other than Jack. Strung out on heroin, Jack a shadow of his former self. But he's able to tell Pete exactly where Bridget's kidnappers are hiding: in the supernatural shadwo-world of the fey. Even though she's spent years disavowing the supernatural, Pete follows Jack into the invisible fey underworld, where she hopes to discover the truth about what happened to Bridget--and what happened to Jack on that dark day so long ago.


So what are you waiting for? Leave comments, links below. If you follow I will follow back :)

Happy Wednesday!
