Joined in today for my first meme !!!!! Have decided that I will be continuing the Relax and Read Weekend.  Feel free to join me!!!!.  Now just need suggestions for memes on Wed. & Thursday and the week will be filled.  This new world of blogging is helping me more than one knows.  Today the back pain is intolerable but am coping due to my new hobby and reading, which I will be getting back to after this post.  I am currently reading Lost Souls by Lisa Jackson which is a Challenge I entered via J.Kaye’s Book Blog.

Any help with the NaNoWriMo meter would be greatly appreciated.  Having trouble getting it to work and show the % of books read.  I have seen this meter on many blogs and would really like to see my progress show especially since I am planning on adding many more challenges

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about library etiquette…
It amazes me how parents allow their children to run around, laughing and talking loudly. But then so do the parents so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since the parents should be setting an example at an early age. When my boys were small we would be at the library 2-3 times a week. Especially before they started school and our local library had activites for the preschoolers. They knew that we had to use our “library voices” so not to disturb other patrons who were reading and/or studying. It must have made an impression on my boys because while in college, one came home from the library and complained how he couldn’t study because of the rudeness of others.

Keeping my fingers crossed.  Just entered for a giveaway over at J. Kaye’s blog(http://j-kaye-book-blog.blogspot.com) for Dying Scream by Mary Burton.  I have read some great reviews on this one and it is on my TBR list.  J. Kaye has a lot of  books for giveaways this month. 

Thinking I also have found memes for Mondays and Tuesdays…am open to suggestion for the other days.  Off to relaxing and reading.  Have a good night all.

Confession…I had good intentions to relax and read this weekend.  However, I needed to do those dreaded (lol) things in life…laundry, groceries, minor chores.  BUT when I was done I treated myself to do the things I enjoy….purchase and d/l the books I bought.  I also visited some of my favorite blogs and found new ones that are now on my blog list.  I also entered in another challenge for 2010 which Royal Reviews is hosting (http://theroyalreviews.blogspot.com) and entered my 1st meme which An Island Life (http://islandlife808.com) hosts…Aloha Friday.  My new self challenge is to find memes for each day.  Suggestions are welcomed as I am on the prowl for finding them.

My mantra is “everything happens for a reason”.  Since stumbling on the world of blogging, I have met some  very kind and friendly people.  Life has its up and downs and even some very difficult obstacles that we all have to deal with and overcome.  I would like to publicly and sincerely say Thank You to all those on my blog list as I am so enjoying this new world of blogging. It is definitely helping me deal with life’s challenges that I am facing and dealing with.  Again…THANK YOU

Locked In by Marcia Muller  Rating 5+
From the cover jacket…Sudden flash, loud pop. Rush of pain. OMG, I’ve been shot–Nothing.
This reader was hooked before page 1.  Sharon McCone, PI has been shot in the head and there is damage.  A brain injury of being Locked In (a real medical injury)  In a coma for 11 days after being shot.  Slowly she comes out of the coma BUT she realizes she can’t move, can’t communicate but hears everything.  This reader felt the terror, fright and trauma of being Locked In from the author’s words.  Then those around McCone realize she does hear and the only way she can communicate is by blinking her eyelids..once for yes, two for no.  She doesn’t remember all the details of being shot but what she does remember she can’t communicate.  Once again, this reader could feel McCone’s fustration and the terror of her prognosis of being Locked In.  Her employees try to find the shooter.  This was a nail biter down to the last page.  Mysteries within Mystery.  I have never read any of her books but am now a fan and will be reading her past and future novels.  This book was exceptional for those who like suspense.
