THURSDAY

HELP!!!  Advice needed!!  For some reason, and I don’t know why, I am in a reading slump.  And even though I am having anxiety as I see all the books in my tbr review policy, I find myself doing more blogging then reading because I just haven’t been in a reading mood.  Has this happened to you?  How do you reverse the slump?  Any and/or all advice and/or tips, would be greatly appreciated!!  I need to get a part of my anatomy in gear.

Today’s Question:
You’ve just dropped your favorite, out-of-print book into a bathtub, ruining it completely … What do you do now?
My Answer:
Cry, and through the tears, uttering some very choice words!!  Then put it in the microwave, nuke it every few seconds until dry, to salvage what I could.  And probably utter some more choice words!!!

  Title Talk on Thursday
  Title Talk on Thursday is a NEW weekly bookish meme, hosted by Tea Time with Marce. A time to share opinions on how the title represented the story, while networking and adding to your Wishlist. All Genre’s of Books are Welcomed.
*Title
     The Remains
*Author
     Vincent Zandri
*Genre
     Thriller
*Summary of the book
     Synopsis (borrowed from PUYB): Thirty years ago, teenager Rebecca Underhill and her twin sister Molly were abducted by a man who lived in a house in the woods behind their upstate New York farm. They were held inside that house for three horrifying hours, until making their daring escape.
  Vowing to keep their terrifying experience a secret in order to protect their mother and father, the girls tried to put the past behind them. And when their attacker was hunted down by police and sent to prison, they believed he was as good as dead.
  Now, it’s 30 years later, and with Molly having passed away from cancer, Rebecca, a painter and art teacher, is left alone to bear the burden of a secret that has only gotten heavier and more painful with each passing year.
  But when Rebecca begins receiving some strange anonymous text messages, she begins to realize that the monster who attacked her all those years ago is not dead after all. He’s back, and this time, he wants to do more than just haunt her. He wants her dead.
*Opinion on Title, is it a clever title, a grab your attention title, is it original, does it match the genre,etc
     Both the cover and title, in my opinion, describes the book.  I am a bit biased though, I am a big fan of this author, so no matter what the title or cover is, I will read his books.

Enqiring Minds Want To Know (2 of 3)

Hosted by Lori from Dollycas’s Thoughts 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?
  This week school started for my kids and I realized what that means. Think back, if you are old like me, think way back,whathappens at the start of a school year.
  You renew friendships and make new ones.
  You get to know each other.
  So that is what this meme is all about, getting to know each other.
  Each Thursday I will post 3 questions for you to answer that you can copy and post on your blog with your answers.
1. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FLOWER?
     There are many, but my favorite is the Star Gazer Lily.  The scent is wonderful

2. WHAT IS YOUR USUAL MORNING BEVERAGE?
     Coffee…at least 3 mugs

3. DID YOU WATCH THE PRIME TIME EMMYS? WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE OPENING MUSICAL NUMBER?
     No,  didn’t watch it.  But watched the YouTube video that you provided and thought it was great.  Just loved Betty White.  God Bless her to do what she does at her age.  What a beautiful woman.
