Books, Books, and more Books

So over the last month I have been on a bit of a reading binge. I read something like 3000 pages in the last couple of weeks. I absolutely love to read, it is one of my passions. There is almost always a book in my purse. Due to this recent binge and my love of books I am adding a new sidebar to my blog, "What I am reading now" ( eventually I might come up with a more witty and cleaver title).

Due to this reading binge I have discovered a new author I really like Anne Bishop. I have pretty much read all of her novels (which my husband so lovingly gave me crap for).

I loved this book and highly recommend this book to anyone that loves fantasy with a little romance mixed in.

Now that I have finished the majority of Bishop's, I am currently reading the Stookie Stakehouse series by Charlaine Harris.

Salt City Derby Girls Double Header!!


This last Saturday was the first ever double header for the Salt City Derby Girls. The Sisters of No Mercy squared off against the Death Dealers and the Bomber Babes battles the Leave it to Cleavers.

Sisters of No Mercy came away with and unexpected but delightful victory over the Death Dealers. A low scoring game with excellent defense, and missing Moonraker, the Sisters will advance (at least I believe so) on to the Championships.

Now, the Bomber Babes... Our last bout of this season, but by far the most fun I have had playing derby! In the end, the Bombers did fall to the Cleavers but not without a fight. Bombers held the Cleavers to a 40-5 (roughly) scoring run in the second half. We came together and played the best defense we have. Though we did not win this year, next year as the team learns and grows, we will be awesome. I just have to give my love to my incredible teammates that I have come to love! Phatal Pheromone, Red Bare-n-ass, Nos, Frau Latio, Savage Beast, Spank E Ham, Muruka, Roxy Codone and Red Suzy (bench manager). I freaking love you guys!!!

I made my very own "Deni's" bumper sticker. It turned out pretty good.


My wonderful husband, without his support, I would not have made it this far!


The rest is a smatering pictures. I had so much fun.



Thanks Susie and Kathy for taking all of these great pictures for me. Also a GIANT thanks to all of you out there that have supported me with this adventure and I hope to see you all at next year's bouts!
