I have taken a break from hurting my eyes reading and am listening to audio book borrowed from a friend, something she does while driving all the time. I am never in a car long enough to do something like that. But I borrowed the first of the Harry Potter series from her and currently listening to that via, my MP3 that is plugged into my lamp and gives me a speaker that can be heard all over my room while I spend some time cleaning since I am off all weekend.

THE WORDS IN THE PUZZLE ARE WITH SPACES REMOVED!!!
Well you all know how to do them, fill in the blank spots with the correct words, there are eight answers, each correct answer will be 1 extra point (a grand total of 7 points) and to make this a little be easier on me this time around, commenting is not going to get the points I love google docs, I can highlight your correct answers and just count the random number.
The possible prize for you is The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter (you can check out my review here) from The Book Depository, I love them now due to International Shipping. Yep each and everyone of you can enter no constraints on where you live as long as they ship to your country, so please check that out here for me. Also remember this is a pre-order from them, it is not released for another 10 days so it will be mailed at that time. My copy is already pre-ordered and I can not wait to receive it. If you really do not want this book you may pick one book up to $10 to get.
So good luck everyone and enjoy the contest. If you are unable to fill in the answer here is a link to the FORM

I ended up taking an 4 hour nap, I slept. It has been a long couple of weeks for me and my head was killing me I think it has something to do with the seasons. And I also worked on the final stages of editing my post for my challenge in hour 11 I believe.

Not as great an hour as hour 1 but I kept getting distracted by the people in the household waking up and moving around. But I am really trying to not fall asleep already and really thinking about moving to the hammock outside.
