REGARDING TABLE TALK TUESDAY:
Due to low participation with this meme, I have decided to discontinue it. For those who did participate, a HUGE thank you!!!!
There are many memes out there and sometimes it gets out of hand with all the ones you want to take part in. Some are time consuming that take away from reading time and some are the same in concept but with a bit of difference. And since I have been in a month long reading slump, I need to catch up. Again, thank you to those who participated.

MONDAY

Due to the fact that I didn’t get much reading done last week, I will not be particpating in It’s Monday, What Are You Reading? It would be a duplicate of last week. Am hoping, that this will change for next week.

This Week’s Question:

If your book group asked you to bring two (2) suggestions for group reads to your next meeting, what two books would you suggest? Why?

My Answer:

My suggestions would be by authors. I signed up for a challenge, Awesome Author, and have not made any progress with it. At the time, I thought requested reviews would be far and few between, and I was wrong. Not only that but I think I am the only one on planet earth that has never read a book by these 2 popular authors. So my suggestions would be any book by Nicholas Sparks and Sue Grafton.

September Hostess has been Kathy from Bermudaonion Web Log

Before sharing my mailbox with everyone, I want to thank Kathy for hosting this month. You have been a very gracious host and everything ran smoothly. Awesome job!!

Now to my mailbox, I have made many friends through book blogging and how I wish we could meet for coffee. Don’t you find that a person’s personality comes out in their blogging? I think so!! I met one such blogger that we clicked online but live on opposite sides of the U.S. so I guess coffee is out of the question lol. We started our own little book swap…when we see a book that each other has read and want to read it, we tag it to be sent off to each other and send it across the land. And this week I received 2 books from my book bloggy bff Julie P. from Reading Without Restraint. Thanks bunches Julie!!

From Java’s blog:
“Meet Me On Monday!”
Blogging is a funny thing…we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, “who is this person!?” I know them…but yet I don’t know them! I want to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great way for all of us to “meet” each other!
Every Sunday I will post five get to know you questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post and we can all learn a little more about each and every one of us!!
“Its a great way to to meet new friends and for others to get to know me better….one Monday at a time!!!”….as quoted by the Chacogirl!!
Questions:

1. How many TV’s do you have in your home?

We have 4 tvs and there is only 2 of us.

2. What is on your bedside table (nightstand)?
My current read, reading glasses, lamp, telephone and a glass of water
3. How many pair of shoes do you own?

Too many!!!

4. Can you change a flat tire?

No…that’s why I have AAA

5. Do you prefer sweet treats or salty treats?

Definitely sweets!!!

Slapdash Sunday

Slapdash Sunday Topic: BookCases and a question

SUNDAY

2 Slapdash Topics today:

Before I get to my Slapdash Topic, I would like to throw something out and see what you think. I joined this meme months ago because I like the premise of it (please read the criteria that was posted from the site) and have enjoyed it ever since, reading about your thoughts, ideas, etc etc as to what the topic is.

However, for the past few months, when I go to link up at the site, there is no link nor meme. I have tried contacting the blogger to see if she is still hosting this meme but have not had a response. So, I did another hmmmmmmmm????? What do you think about the premise of this meme? Would you be interested in participating in something similar? But have a McLnky so that you can hop and see what topic other bloggers have.
What are your thoughts on this meme?

Slapdash Sunday is a day for your proverbial week ‘leftovers.’ Is there something you wanted to say, but just forgot? Is there something you want to write about, but isn’t worth a whole page? Do you have a random thought, funny or otherwise that needs to be written down?
That is what Slapdash Sunday is for!

Yesterday I started loading some, just 3 boxes lol, of my books into my new bookcase. I knew how I wanted some of the shelves organized, but not sure of the other shelves. I put my review tbr books in order on the 1st shelf along with my signed copies (which I am proud of). The next shelf was for the books that I have won since blogging but haven’t read yet, along with my dark ages dictionary…..yes I know…there are dictionaries online but this may be an antique since its from my school days lol and a few personal favorites. Then I got to the 3rd shelf and had this moment:

Should I alphabetize by author, title? Should I double stack my PBs? Should I mix it all up and just put them any which way? I know that if someone other than a book blogger is reading this they would probably say “what’s the difference?” But I know you can understand how important our books are to us, so before I unload and reload, I was wondering…….How do you keep your books organized? Are they by genre? Title? Author? Do you separate HC from PB? Do you put them on the shelves by the size of the book or does that matter? Maybe you don’t organize them at all.

Would love to know about your bookcases!!!! Maybe even get some tips from each other!! So let’s have a Slapdash Discussion!!!
