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!

When the doors on the Land Rover suddenly open, one at a time, and the silhouettes of two men appear–one tall and thin, the other short and stocky–both packing shotguns, she knows she’s reached the proverbial point of no going back.

It is definitely from other bloggers’ reviews that I not only find new books to read but am also introduced to new authors.  Before blogging, I had a list of many authors that I liked and would usually just read their books unless if I saw a book that caught my eye either in the library or at a book store.  But this past year, my personal tbr list has become my bucket list.  There are still some genres that other bloggers read and review with high ratings, which I respect, but I know or maybe I should say I think, I wouldn’t enjoy.  I have also found, from bloggers, a lot of sites, to obtain books.  There are many great advantages being a part of this community!

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.”

“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!

 

People have commented on my big brown eyes.

5. Soft cookies or crunchy cookies?

Chewy!!!!

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!
  As some of you know, I have mentioned that I am a cable news junkie.  My morning routine is to grab my coffee, boot up the computer and turn the TV on to a cable news station.  The TV is on all day, the volume low, in case there is breaking news or something that may interest me, then I will stop and watch it.  Ever since 9/11, I have been doing this.
  The other night at supper, hubby and I were having a discussion, and I got to thinking that this might make for an interesting topic for Slapdash Sunday!!

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: What’s your most looked forward to event coming up this year? (Online or real life, bookwise or not, anything.)

  First let me say Thank You Danielle!!!!  She usually asks for a favorite food and being Italian, there is no such thing as favorite when it comes to food  lol.  So this one is an easy question for me.  I am sure, that they will get harder as the year progresses.
  I have 2 things.  Bookwise is that I complete ALL of my 15 Challenges I signed up for.  Yes, I know, I am a Challenge Addict and proud of it.
