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!
Someone had pounded a white cross in the sand that was taller than Jordan was, and the cross was decorated with streaming pink ribbons and there were bouquets of flowers-some of them fresh-leaning against the base of the cross. Jordan wondered if Zoe had seen the cross.

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of A girl and her books 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.”

Hello Sunday Saloners. Welcome! How was your week? My week was a bit busy but I did manage to accomplish a few to-dos on my list.
Reading: I signed up and participated in the bout of books read-a-thon. I wasn’t able to get in as much reading I had hoped for but did finish 2 books and started a 3rd. I don’t know why, but it seems any time I plan on a read-a-thon, RL life has other plans for me. The 2 books read, and the reviews written, were:
The read-a-thon ends tonight so am hoping to get more reading in to reach my goal. I received several books this week that I am looking forward to reading. I will share those tomorrow during Mailbox Monday.
Blogging: As I said, I wrote 2 reviews. I have to write my reviews as soon as I finish a book while it is fresh in my mind. One reason, I didn’t spend the time reading was due to being at the computer. I drafted up posts for future guest author showcases and giveaways. I like to create these posts way in advance of the scheduled date so I don’t have to scramble at the last minute especially if RL interferes.
Real Life: Another reason why I didn’t put the amount of time in that I had planned to was due to the fact that I wasn’t feeling well and am facing some health issues. So I was either in a doctor’s office, and Murphy’s Law, I usually wait for quite some time and can get my reading in while waiting for my turn to go in, but the doctors were on time this week or I couldn’t read due to medical tests. And because I haven’t felt well, when I did sit down to read, I ended up doing this:
How was your week? Did you read any good books that you want to share? lol Just what I need and that is to add to my already enormous “hopefully in my lifetime tbr list” lol.

MY QUESTION:
Out of your circle of friends, who have you been friends with the longest and what is the length of time?My Answer:
It would be my friend Donna who I have known for 31 years.
This week’s question:
A while ago, I interviewed my readers for a change, and my final question was, “What question have I NOT asked at BTT that you’d love me to ask?” I got some great responses and will be picking out some of the questions from time to time to ask the rest of you. Like now.

If you had to choose to live within a novel, which would it be?
My answer:
The first novel that came to mind was one that I had read last year and it was Beachcombers by Nancy Taylor. It takes place in Nantucket and the premise is of 3 sisters that come home to reconcile their pasts. It was the type of novel where I became invested in the lives of the characters and wanted to follow their journey long after I finished the book.

Today’s question:
Do you tend to read to the end of a chapter or can you stop anywhere?
My answer:
I usually read to the end of a chapter, however, if something interrupts me, I have to stop where ever I am. When that happens, I do find myself having to go back a page or 2 and reread to refresh my memory.
