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

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.

Sunday

Photobucket
A couple of things before Sunday’s meme……
  Did you change your clocks…Spring forward.  When I woke up this morning, because some clocks were adjusted some not,  and not being fully awake, I was a little confused lol.
  Thank you to all that stopped by and visited yesterday.  I enjoyed reading all of your comments!!!!

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!

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 !!!! 

Relax and Read Weekend

Saturday Time

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 the first time that I have seen this award and absolutely love it !!!!!!  Ditto for this award as stated earlier.  Thank you Bella for thinking that I have a Stylish Blog.  It is so appreciated.

100th Follower

OMG !!!!!!  I am soooooo excited.  A few months ago I never thought about having followers.  I created this blog as a “personal journal” for books I had read.  But with the help, kindness and encouragement of several kind book bloggers, I took the chance of going “public.”  And as they say “The Rest Is History”

Thank you Morgan from Smitten With Books (http://www.smittenwithbooks.blogspot.com/) for stopping by, visiting and becoming my 100th follower.  And thank you to all the other 99 followers.

I had been thinking that if I did make it to 100 followers, I would personally sponsor a giveaway.  But with all my personal issues and appointments, I am afraid I would not have the time needed to do one, especially since it would be a 1st for me.  So this is what I am thinking…….a celebration in the middle of April for a “post 100th follower and a “return to blogging” after my surgery.  Again THANK YOU ALL !!!!!!!!
