However, I had already drafted this post before the announcement
and thought I would post it to share with anyone that stops by.

TUESDAY

Happy Tuesday everyone!!! Apologizing in advance. There will be multiple posts today and tomorrow because there is just so much going on. Authors visiting, new giveaways being posted and even an announcement for a Birthday Bash (that post is tomorrow). Check both sidebars for all the giveaways and hope you enter for a chance to win, if not for you, maybe for someone on your Christmas list.

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!

She backed out of the room and hurried into the other bedroom, not wanting to accept what Jovanic had said about not finding Kylie.

Challenge Completed!!!!!

Week #10….Question

Do you have multiple books going at once? Or do you prefer to stick to one book at a time?

My Answer:

I am a one book gal, always have been. I feel that I might confuse plots, characters, or maybe even forget some details if I read more than one book at a time. Since reading for me is pure pleasure and enjoyment, I want to escape into the book I am currently reading and don’t think it would be the same reading more than one. However, it does amaze me when I see other bloggers that can read even 4 books at the same time. Maybe some day I will try it just to see.

MONDAY

I will be announcing the winner of the Follower Graditude Giveaway later on today. Is it you??

Wrap Up:
Didn’t do as much reading as I had planned. But finished one book, wrote and posted the review and started another.

Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading
Miz B has announced that Musing Mondays has been suspended.

November is being hosted by Julie from Knitting and Sundries 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 I share what books came into my house this week, I want to thank Julie for hosting this month and doing a fabulous job!!! Thanks Julie!!!

“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!
Questions:

1. What is your favorite way to eat chicken?

Don’t have a favorite..eat it all ways…baked, fried, in soup, parmigian, etc etc.
2. Have you decorated for Christmas yet?

No. I have been spoiled for many years. My youngest son used to
decorate the house inside and out by himself. He now lives 5 hours away.
So either hubby and I have to or son needs to take a ride home lol

3. What is your favorite article of clothing?

At this time of year, my flannel jammies.

4. Do you pay your bills online or write checks the old way?

Both

5. Do you make Christmas cookies?

Unfortunately, the baking gene did not get passed down to me. BUT my son’s gf, Heather,
is quite a baker and she makes delicious and so many different varieties each year.

SATURDAY

Happy Saturday one and all!! Hope you are all doing great and enjoying your long weekend. For me, and you might have noticed yesterday, that I did a disappearing act. I was sitting in my recliner reading Private by James Patterson ( love his books) and WHAM!!! It came from left field.

I have a very low immune system due to Epstein Barr, also called Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome CFIDS, and catch everything. Except my body can’t fight viruses so it puts me down. I went to bed at 11:30am and woke up this morning. So needless to say, I did not make much progress in reading. Going to try again today.

Update:

Just a few chapters.

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.

Yes…I know…what am I thinking, but, my 50th was very special. It was a combo celebration spent with the favorite people in my life. Not only did we celebrate my bday but 3 days later, it was our 25th wedding anniversary. Hubby and I rented a limo, made dinner reservations at a fancy smancy restaurant, that was an hour away in Boston, a table for 6. Hubby, myself, and our 2 sons and their gfs all went out for a night on the town. We were all dressed in formal attire. One son surprised us with CDs he made of songs from the year we were married, for the hour’s ride . We sang and were silly on our way to the restaurant. And yes, I will admit, since we were all of the legal age to drink, we toasted to a wonderful celebration. The dinner was fabulous. And on our way home, we made one more stop. We surprised the kids and went to the top of the Prudential Center and had an after dinner drink on the 52nd floor, overlooking all of Boston, absolutely beautiful !!! And then continued our silliness and singing for the ride home. It was a wonderful night that I will never forget.
