Swamped

I'm a terrible, terrible person - and I didn't even attempt NaNoWriMo this year. The truth is, third year law is hell on earth and although I love it, I barely have time to do all the other extra-curriculars I'm involved in, let alone read books and write reviews. So, my apologies that there's been no new material on RMMR in the last three weeks.

I do have a review or few in the pipeline - it's just getting the chance to sit down and finish writing them and get them up to scratch. Unfortunately, my multiple to-do-lists only get longer no matter how many items I can tick off. This has been a fairly mild week in terms of crazy-ness (relatively speaking) and though I'm only going to get busier before the week is out, I hope to (fingers crossed!) have a review up soon. No promises, though.

And for the fun of it, here are some epic things from Buzzfeed that made me laugh this week:

Snow Day!

I'm quite fond of snow, really. I guess that's in part a result of being a Christmas-time baby, but also just because it's always so pretty and lovely when fresh and untouched. I have this really strange compulsion to just watch the snow fall and standing on the landing in our house last night while the skies were still letting the snow fall in truckloads, there was just something really ethereal and calming about watching nature have its way and wreaking havoc, with us humans powerless to stop it. I ended up having to walk the last 2 miles or so last night having just missed my connecting bus, and while walking with the blizzarding snow pelting down on my face was rather grim, I was at the same time a little in awe at how quiet and peaceful the roads were and how snow seems to be the one thing that grinds everything in this country to a halt.
