Donations

I have a goal to raise $25 dollars by April 25th, and every little penny counts. I'd love it if you would contribute even just a small amount, and it doesn't even have to be through me, this is a great cause and everyone should know about it!

Never-ending Cuteness of the Snail

At about ten o'clock last night I was watching 'The Never-ending story - which is kind of a surreal experience when you're tired. I hadn't seen the movie in a while, and while I was watching it I sort of fell in love with the racing snail. And for some strange reason, it reminded me of my horse Ciara (key-r-ah) you can't tell from my oh-so-flattering picture of her, but her personality reminded me of the snail. I kind of think this post is appropriate due to the blog's name ( I know the button is a conch shell) but Random Shell could mean snail shell as well. I wasn't thinking about it at the time I was naming blogs, but I kind of have a thing for turtles and snails in case you hadn't noticed (LOL).

Hopefully Spring is on its way

Luckily, I have avoided the snow, but lots of other places have been swamped with it. Hang in their guys!

An Interesting Question

Green Capoos Fly is wondering what the most expensive thing your pet has ruined was

If you need something to add to your reading list...

I just finished Catherine Fisher's 'Sapphique' last night, and I am telling you if you like Science fiction/Fantasy even a little bit, you must read it! (Well actually it is a sequel to a book called 'Incarceron' so you would need to read that first). It has one of the best endings of any book I have read lately - and you totally don't see it coming!

Books of 2010

I started recording the books that I read pretty late in the year, so this isn't anywhere near all of them. But, this is a list of the books I read since fall through the new year. (And not necessarily in order).

Rebel Angels (Libba Bray)
The Sweet Far Thing (Libba Bray)

Fat of the Land Adventures of a 21st Century Forager (Langdon Cook)
