Yesterday was another beautiful spring day here in New England.  I noticed that there wasn’t much traffic around the blogosphere and thinking many might have been enjoying the weather.  If you have time today, it would be appreciated if you could read yesterday’s Slapdash Sunday meme’s posting and maybe even leaving a comment.  After reading a comment from Sheila from One Persons Journey Through A World of Books, I thought I would post a little note about it again.  Thank you.

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about tbr books. (for those that are new to book blogging, and I was one just a few short months ago and had no idea what tbr meant…I wanted to pay it forward…..it is short for To Be Read)
Where do you keep the books on the top of the tbr pile? Not the bunk of the mountain, but just the tip of the peak – the ‘almost up to’ books?
  I have 3 piles.  On one side of a double floor to ceiling book case, I keep my new books (6 months),  along with those I have won with post it notes on covers with dates purchased/won in one pile.  The other side is for my old (books I purchased over the years and haven’t read yet!!).  Those are just shoved in and are in no particular order.  I have a different pile in another room of “review books” with post-it notes as to the order they were received and need to be read.  Since I started reviewing in December, I haven’t read any of my personal TBR books, only my Review TBR books.

This is a meme to list the books completed last week, the books currently being read, and the books to be finished this week.
  Another slow week for me regarding reading, which is frustrating me.  This is so unlike me but am telling self….”Self, only two more appointsments this week and then get back to priorities….READING”  lol

  This is what I found in my mailbox this week:
Photobucket
I met this author through GoodReads.  He contacted me because of the state I live in, which is  where he went to college.  We discovered we lived in the same neighborhood at that time.  I then got the chance from Pump Up Your Book to read and review his book.

Received this book from Doublday for requested read and review.
               Am looking forward to both!!!!!

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about picture books.
Do you have a favourite picture book, either from your own childhood, or reading to you children?
  It has been quite a few years since reading to my sons.  But there are a few that I do remember and those are Polar Express, Good Night Moon and another one that was a great help to me.  It was a book geared to toddlers, one for boys, different for girls.  I can’t remember the title but it was a story for them regarding using a “potty” lol.  It sounds funny now but it was a great tool back then.
