Hi lovely readers! Did you miss me?
***
I've been missing interacting with more of my reader friends. Book blogging is a lot of fun, but sometimes it feels like I'm screaming into the void. It's hard to get meaningful interaction in a place where there are tons and tons of people vying for it.
Also, I've been deeply missing having conversations about books I've fallen in love with. I want someone to gush with, someone to yell with, and maybe even someone to binge read the next books in the series with.
So, it's time for a new beginning.

Starting on December 31st, I'll be hosting a read-along of one of my favorite books that is soon to become a television show, Good Omens.
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.
So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.
And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .
Be warned, this book is all kinds of silly. Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman are a force to be reckoned with as they poke fun at religion, free will, and divine destiny. If that sounds like your type or read, huzzah!

I'm going to pre-read this, and pick some chapter breakdowns as well as start some discussion questions brewing, so give me a week or so to get everything settled. In the meantime, please feel free to grab your copy of the book and get ready!
I can't wait!
