Mundane Monday #42

Happy Mundane Monday!!


"Patience, grasshopper." said Maia. "Good things come to those who wait."

"I always thought that was 'Good things comes to those who do the waves," said Simon. "No wonder I've been so confused all my life."

"Confused' is a nice word for it," said Jace, but he was clearly only somewhat paying attention; he reached out and and pulled Clary toward him, almost absently, as if it were a reflex. She leaned back against his shoulder, looking up at the sky.

Take Me There book signing


Take Me There by Carolee Dean releases tomorrow! If you haven't heard about it, here's a little about it.

Dylan has a bad-boy past and a criminal record. He knows that rich, beautiful Jess is way too good for him - but she has always been the one person who sees through his tough exterior and straight to his heart, and he has been hopelessly in love with her from the first time they met. He would change his life for a chance with her.

But trouble follows Dylan wherever he goes, and a deadly mistake soon forces him to hit the road and leave his dreams behind. He's on the run and in search of answers - answers to questions he wishes he'd never asked.

Here's a list of places she'll be stopping at this week:
