Teaser Tuesday

TUESDAY
Photobucket
Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
*Grab your current read
*Open to a random page
*Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
*Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


“In your own words, I’d like you to tell me why you think the Campsite Killer is your biological father and the details of the phone calls you received recently.”  Her serious tone made me even more nervous and my heart sped up.

Monday Memes

MONDAY
Photobucket
May is being hosted by Mari from Mari Reads
Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of A girl and her books and is now on tour.
According to Marcia, “Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.”
 I would like to thank Mari for hosting one of my favorite memes this month.   Thank You Mari!!
If you have followed my blog over this past year, you know that I have become a HUGE fan of Vincent Zandri’s.  I read all of his books and have been patiently waiting for his newest novel to be released.  He surprised me last week by sending me the galley of this book and I can’t wait to start it.  Thank you Vin for the honor of entrusting me with and allowing me to read and review the galley.  I will let everyone know what I think and when it will be available for you to enjoy too.  If it is anything like his other books, I’m in for a treat!!!!

Sunday’s Shining Star

Hi Everyone!!!  Sunday’s Shining Star is on vacation this week.  Jeff (Lori’s hubby aka Dollycas’s Thoughts) had some things to catch up on and needed the day off.  Men!!!!  I think we have been over working him with all the travelling plus putting him in charge of getting the dessert to our “gab sessions” on time (even though some of it is missing when it gets delivered BUT I’m not pointing any fingers lol)!!  Next week is Mother’s Day so Sunday’s Shining Star will be back on May 15th.  I am sure it will be a long gab fest with a lot of catching of to do.  While here, make sure you check out the sidebars for current giveaways that you may be interested in entering and Good Luck.  See you soon !!!!

Saturday Memes

SATURDAY
Photobucket

Hosted by Danielle at There’s A Book

From Danielle’s blog:
We all leave our “footprint” on the world, in one way or another. We each, individually, do something or are someone that makes the world a little better just by being here. I created this weekly meme to get to know the blogging community I love just a bit better. To know what makes them tick, outside of books, that is. Each week I will post a question to be answered in the following week’s “A Bit of Me(Me)”. Check back each Saturday to get the info for next week’s post and link up with your current post right here.
This week’s question:  If your house was on fire and you could only grab 3 things before leaving, what would they be? (Other than family or pets.)

This week’s question really made me think, to the point that I walked through my house trying to decide.
As many photo albums and tapes that could be carried.  That is definitely something that can not be replaced.  To lose pictures of my boys growing up would be devastating to me.

All important documents
Important Papers by Brad
The third item was hard to decide.  And I know I would have to leave some behind and only choose a few.  But items that have sentimental value to me, like the Crucifix in our bedroom given to us by my husband’s cousin who married us, collectible items in my curio cabinet, items that have been passed down as the notebook filled with my grandmother’s recipes written in her handwriting and signed books.
