2012 OHHHH YEAH BABY

Happy New Year, peeps!  It's 2012!  This is Alz sneak-blogging under Krispy's username because Krispy wants to play Bejeweled Blitz and read The Pledge by Kimberly Derting.  We'll have a more substantial post to come on Friday, but in the meantime Krispy says, "I am forever food-coma-ing from the holidays and can't handle too much thinking."  I don't think she realizes how much I like to transcribe her words verbatim into our blog posts when she's not paying attention.  Mwahaha.

So instead we're just going to post doodles of how we ended 2011.

I read a boatload of books.  Literally a book a day for the past two-ish weeks.  And still going strong!  Reviews forthcoming--and some of them will actually be positive!  Others will be negative.  Very negative.

The Lost Hero, Cinders, Shatter Me, Divergent, The Son of Neptune, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Dragon's Keep, The Scorpio Races, Bones of Faerie, The Replacement, Blood Red Road, So Shelly, Prophecy of the Sisters

Krispy ended the year with her best read of the year, The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater.  Ending the year with the best book of the year is awesome.  Way awesome.

Almost as awesome as a Tardis mug full of cream-vodka-spiked Sunkist.

Krispy and I rang in the new year with her sister and their cousin, the latter of whom graced us with homemade peach pies from her brand new mini pie-maker.

The crusts were burned and two of the four pies turned into volcanoes fountaining peach lava,
but they were all delectably delicious.

Lastly, here is a gift from both Krispy and her sister Krunchy--a gift, as Krispy says, from the universe in the form of one Jason Mraz. This is his amazing new song, "I Won't Give Up."



So we ended 2011 on a positive note and so far the new year is off to a positive note too.  At this rate we shall have a melody as beautiful as Mraz's and 2012 will be a beautiful song indeed!  How did you herald in the new year?
