I'm excited about the things I'll be doing on this blog in 2012. Of course, I'll continue to bring you the random Monday lists that make you so very thankful this is MY life and not YOURS. But there are other fun things in the works! Here's a peek at what you can expect: The introduction of a new interviewer for our Wednesday author interviews! Now authors can choose from Captain Jack Sparrow, the Were-llama, the Spork of Doom and ... ??? She'll be introduced soon so stay tuned. And, as is fitting, her first encounter will be with the inimitable Beth Revis. Frankly, I'm putting my money on our interviewer ... Continuing the Trailer Tuesdays Fridays the Were-llama will review! What will he review? Books. Movies. T.V. shows. Broadway Shows. School Plays. Choir Rehearsals. Basically, anything he could have an opinion on. Which is pretty much everything. On the Wednesdays that aren't set aside for author interviews, I am introducing another new segment:

Today for Trailer Tuesday I bring you the trailer for a movie coming out this summer. It's an adaptation of the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale. Looks intriguing! What do you think?

*Special thanks to Twitter follower xHeatherxMariex for the title. 1. I had a post planned for today--my first day back from the holiday I took from writing real blog posts. 2. It had visual aids that looked like this: and this: 3. I know. Classy, right? 4. But certain events have conspired to change the theme of my post. And NOW the visual aid looks like this: 5. Allow me to explain. 6. Over the years, I've discovered that I (most inexplicably) have a nemesis or two out there. Chicken nuggets. Gravity. Beth Revis. 7. Trees. Goats. Diet Coke. 8. Dental hygienists. iPhones. Green beans. 9. I could continue, but I think you get the picture. I've even devoted an entire post to one of my more determined opponents--that spawn of Satan we call the automatically flushing toilet. 10. I made the grievous mistake of believing that I could openly discuss the toilet's actions in a public forum with impunity. 11. I'm here to tell you that is not

Today's trailer is for a movie based on the Snow White fairy tale. This is no Disney cartoon version, however. I can't WAIT to see this. What do you think?

Today's book trailer is for a book that hits stores this January. I've read an ARC of EVERNEATH, and I have to tell you, it is one of my all-time favorite books. Ever. You won't want to miss it! This trailer gives just a little hint at the awesomeness of EVERNEATH. What do you think?

Today's trailer is for Brenna Yovanoff's THE SPACE BETWEEN. Brenna writes lush, atmospheric, insightful books. I can't wait to read TSB. What do you think?

1. Sadly, I don't have much to contribute to Monday's blog list. (Other than the pic above which one of my awesome Twitter followers was kind enough to send to me.) 2. My favorite may be Edward Llama. 3. The only thing better than being able to spit on your enemies is to sparkle while you do it! 4. Anyway, the reason I don't have much to contribute today is because I spent most of last week sick with the flu. 5. This was unfortunate for many reasons, not the least of which is that fever-induced insomnia leads to a whirlwind of absolute craziness in my head. 6. Here's a peek at what my stream of consciousness looked like last Thursday night: Ladyfinger cookies don't look like fingers. Or DO they? *spends far too much time imagining eating fingers* I don't think there's anyway to eat fingers in a ladylike manner. Zombie Etiquette!
