Welcome to Armchair Book Expo. I’m pleased to be participating for the sixth seventh year! Holey cow! You can view my past introductions and posts for this annual event here. Now, onto this year’s questions…
I am . . . a cruciverbalist, theic and cryptozoologist.

Currently . . . I’m trying to finish a novel I’ve had in the works since NaNoWriMo 2012. I keep getting stuck on how I want it to end. Is the antagonist a good guy or a bad guy?

My summer plans . . . include going on a little getaway to watch the solar eclipse in August.

My buddy . . . is my Golden Retriever, Archie. It’s true what they say about rescues actually rescuing you. Also, he wears a bow tie.
The best . . . is a rainy day, a warm cat, a cup of good tea and a big fat book.

Your dog looks adorable!
And seeing the solar eclipse sounds amazing. I’m actually moving this summer, otherwise I would live close enough that driving to see it would be pretty easy. I wish I could.
What an adorable dog! It makes me miss my dogs so much.
Thank you for stopping by!
My parents are traveling to watch the eclipse this summer, too. I told my mom she should go to the car henge in Nebraska – apparently it’s going to line up with the eclipse!
Rainy days are the best reading days!
Hi!!! Nice to “meet” you!
Armchair BEA Cafinated Reads Intro
Happy first day of Armchair Book Expo. I agree a rainy day, a cup of tea, and a book is great. Though laying in the pool on a float with a book is pretty good day too. See my intro and best practices
Happy Book Expo week and thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog.
Cruciverbalist may be my new favorite word. I do a little freelance proofreading of crosswords for Penny Press, but I don’t know that I could create one. Happy Armchair Book Expo!

I can’t either — I just like doing them!
Love that eclipse poster! You always find the best visuals. 🙂
Archie is adorable! I have a golden mix named Shiloh and you’re right, they do wind up rescuing you just as much as you rescue them! And yes, nothing beats a good book, a nice cuppa tea, and a cat to snuggle with on a rainy day. Enjoy!

We’re going to Wyoming for the eclipse. Two posts: Introductions and Best Practices
Awesome! I love Wyoming. I almost moved there.
Rainy days are the best. I think cruciverbalist should mean a person who talks about cauliflower.
Hahaha! I don’t know that much about cauliflower…
I am going to look up those words in your first comment. 🙂
Love your graphics.
ENJOY this week, and thanks for sharing your post.

Thanks! Seems I’m always stuck at work when it’s raining. The reading weather really needs to get itself together. Ha!
Ooh! Do you have a location planned for the solar eclipse yet? I saw a lot of advertisement for it at wineries out in Illinois a couple of weeks ago.
You should go! I have family in Southern Illinois, near Cameo Vineyards. It’s beautiful country and I’m sure would be great viewing. We are going to Charleston, SC.
Oh I would LOVE to!! Maybe I can convince my boyfriend to take another trip out to Illinois with me! (We live in New Hampshire).
I went to Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH. 😉
