Finding Something Friday: A Hardboiled Cozy

Look what I found in my mailbox today!

I won Dana Fredsti’s book, Murder for Hire: The Peruvian Pigeon, when I went on a blog Trick or Treat with the Fatal Foodies. Now, don’t say you don’t know what I’m talking about. I told you all about the bloggy giveaway and how you could win great prizes, including interesting books like Dana’s hardboiled cozy.

I’m not exactly sure how a cozy can be hardboiled, but I read that description for her book, which just makes me want to read it even more. So, it’s on my bedside table (Well, not right this minute. Right now, it’s on my desk so I can be inspired while writing about said book). But it will be on my bedside table, joining my stack of to-read books. Then, it will be back on my desk when I write about it later and fill you in on what, exactly, a hardboiled cozy is.

Till then, I guess it’s just one big mystery.

Finding Something Friday Adds Followers to My Blog

Yeah, I know I already wrote a Finding Something Friday. But I found something else. And it’s Friday. So, sue me.

To tell the truth, I’m a little conflicted about adding the “Followers” gadget here. On the one hand, it’s a cool little widget and I’m all about the cool blog bling. On the other hand, if no one signs up to follow my blog, then I’m forced to look at that widget screaming, “Hey, Cathy! Remember how bad you felt in the third grade when you didn’t have a single, solitary friend? Don’t you feel EXACTLY like that now?”

I think a nun eventually made a girl (poor Valerie) play with me. So, do not make me chase you down to sign up for blog-following. Because, honestly, I will come after you.

And that includes you, too, Valerie.
