This is a meme to list the books completed last week, the books currently being read, and the books to be finished this week.
  Completed:  Unfortunately, due to scheduled appointments, I didn’t finish one book.   : (
  This week:  I am going to be optimistic and finish Live To Tell by Wendy Corsi-Staub (my current read). 
And maybe even completing the next book on my schedule The Cutting by James Hayman
  in the fun. You don’t need a blog to comment. But if you do and want to join in, link is above.

That is what Slapdash Sunday is for!

In my travels yesterday around the blogosphere, I visited Reading With Tequila’s Blog site and she had a Poll where she asked her readers what book she should read next.  The survey tool was from a site called Polldaddy……my question is this……how and where do you find cute little extras to put on your blog?  Is it from other sites that you have visited like I did?  Or are there sites that offer bloggers tools to work with?
 
I am so behind in my reading this week so my plan is to get a couple more things done and then I plan to spend the rest of the day READING AND RELAXING !!!! 

WOW !!!!!!!  What a day this has been.  Just received another award.  Bella from Obsessed Book Blog (http://paranormal-obsession.blogspot.com/) presented me with this award:

This is going to be a short posting today as I am feeling very lazy today.  Good thing it is my Relax and Read weekend.  What are your plans for today?  Anything exciting?
I want to thank Razlover, one of my followers for commenting on a review I posted yesterday.  I joined in on some memes that I consider “my fun things to do”.  You can join in also….check out these memes on the right sidebar of my blog.  And because of that comment, it gave me my question for Aloha Friday, that I am going to do my draft for Friday after this posting.  Hope you stop by on Friday to see my question and leave your answer.
Have a relaxing Sunday!!!!

My question is:  What is your favorite flower?
  I have Star Gazer Lily(s) in my garden.  Beautiful to look at and they are so aromatic.  I love that Yankee Candle has that fragrence so I enjoy it year round.  I even named my laptop (lol) Lily.

Before I post my Friday memes, I want to wish all a very Blessed, Healthy and Happy New Year.  Hoping everyone will meet new blogger friends.  I have found that book bloggers are the nicest people.  And that everyone is able to complete all their challenges for 2010 but if not, enjoy the experience, I know I will.
