What’s the best book you read this year?
If you followed my blog over this past year, you learned that James Patterson was my all time #1 author, however, in May of 2010 I was introduced to a new author that I felt was equal to Patterson.  Since May I have read 2 more books by this writer and presently reading his 4th and can honestly say that he has taken the #1 spot.  That author is Vincent Zandri.  And the book that hooked me was:
Worst?
Other than the ones that ended up in the DNF pile, there were a few that I could put in this category but I know that these 2 had different thoughts around the blogosphere but were not enjoyable to me:

Favorite?
Some of my 5/5
Jackson, Lisa Most Likely To Die
Sheehan, Jacqueline Now & Then
Walker, Bill A Note from an old Acquaintance
Rose, Karen Silent Scream
Keener, Rachel The Memory Thief
Dixon, Dianne The Language of Secrets
Baron, Michael The Journey Home
Thayer, Nancy Beachcombers
Sheldon, Sydney After The Darkness
Stevens, Chevy Still Missing
Samuels-Young, Pamela Buying Time
Gardner, Lisa Live To Tell
Patterson, James Private
and
Like I mentioned above, I am currently reading the newest book by Vincent Zandri, The Innocent, which I will be posting my review for on January 1st.  What better way to start off the New Year but to review a book from my new #1 favorite author?  Oh I know,…………………to have him stop by and visit with us all.  So mark your calendars…Vincent Zandri will be here January 1st to let us know what we can look forward to in 2011.

From Lori’s site:
  It struck me recently how much time I spend on this computer every day, blogging, chatting or playing games on Facebook, emailing friends and relatives, making cards and calendars, etc. etc. etc.
  We depend on each other for book reviews, giveaways, encouragement, friendship, but how well do we really know each other?
  So that is what this meme is all about, getting to know each other.

WEEK 18 QUESTIONS

1. Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?
And more…..matter of fact….hubby shocked me with an 8 day trip to Aruba!!
Photobucket
2. Do you make New Year’s Resolutions?
No
3. How will you spend New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day this year?
We haven’t decided yet.  Either with friends or a
quiet dinner, just the 2 of us, having shrimp cocktail and lobsters.
happy new year

As some of you know, this past year I have been dealing with quite a few personal and physical problems, and I don’t know how I would have dealt with and/or gotten through any of them without my hubby’s (we will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary in April) help.  And THEN, he just keeps giving, like the energizer bunny.  Yesterday, he is on vacation this week, he took hours out of his day to fix my computer, which as you all know,  I am sooooo very computer challenged, and it is now working perfectly!!!  And for Christmas, it was a good thing I was sitting down, he shocked me.  It reminded me of the walnut lunch bag Christmas I had as a child.  He recently hooked up a printer to my computer.  So, he wrapped a box of printable labels stating that I would need them now that I had a printer, except I could tell that it was an old box of labels.  I opened the box, and inside, besides the labels, were travel reservations for an 8 day trip to Aruba!!!!!!  I would say I am one lucky gal!!!  Love you!!!

What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
I am not sure!!  Since I have decided that I will be making changes
in my reading schedule/habits for 2011, I have no idea how I
will get into the new routine or how I will be choosing the next book.

Teaser Tuesday

TUESDAY
Happy Tuesday everyone!!  If you live on the upper east coast, I hope you are safe and shoveled out from the blizzard yesterday.

I will be away from my computer today, at least until hubby can figure what out what is wrong with it.  Booted it up this morning and kept getting the dreaded blue crash screen.  I am using hubby’s computer at this minute, but since all my blogging sites are stored on mine, it is making me quite frustrated.  So if I don’t respond, you will know why.

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!


  “Look, Keeper,” Norman said, “I don’t mean to go ballistic, but if Pelton’s busted you, that makes me an accessory.  No matter who’s in the wrong, that makes me liable for manipulating the evidence, too.”
  “You knew the risks.”
  “I never imagined anything like this.”

December has and is being hosted by Lady Q from Let Them Read Books

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of The Printed Page 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.”
Before sharing my mailbox with you, I want to give a big shout out to Lady Q for hosting this month.  And I think everyone will agree as to the wonderful job she did.  Except for posting all those images of desserts, whereas I put on weight just looking at them  lol.  So Lady Q…Thank you!!

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!
Questions:

1. What are your New Year’s Eve plans?
Photobucket

5’5″

3. What is your favorite pudding flavor?
pudding
