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!
“Spread to other parts?” I asked
The man’s green eyes peered up from behind narrow reading glasses. I knew right then and there that I was in serious trouble.

I SO need this. I am embarrassed to say, that I have been so busy, plus the fact that my reading schedule has been interrupted due to medical issues, that I have read only one…yes ONE…book in July. That is down right SAD!!
When I received the email yesterday announcing the sign up, I ran right on over and filled out the form. My game plan is that to get all my computer, blog, PICT to-dos done in the next 2 weeks so that I can allow for more reading time. I do have some personal appointments that week, but will read around them. I will have a sticky post to keep record of my progress.
Want to join me? Click the link above. Here are the rules and daily schedule:
Standard info:
- Bout of Books is a week long read-a-thon, run from 12:01am on Monday, August 13th through 11:59pm Sunday, August 19th in whatever time zone you are in.
- Bout of Books is low pressure, meaning participants are only asked to push themselves to read more than they normally would during any given week. There is no competition between readers.
- How much time a reader wants, and can commit, to read, tweet, or network with fellow bloggers is left to individual preference. All challenges and giveaways are optional.
- Networking with fellow bloggers is actively encouraged, though never required. Co-hosts are there to facilitate blog hopping and interaction between participants.
- Use Twitter to post updates throughout the read-a-thon. Everyone will be tweeting with the #boutofbooks hashtag.

Before I share my Monday memes, I want to wish a special someone a very Happy Birthday! She has been part of our family for quite a few years and both my husband and I consider her our daughter. She has the biggest heart of anyone I know, is caring, funny, sweet and is the love of my oldest son’s, Paul, life. My other daughter, Heather!! Isn’t she beautiful?
Have a very Happy Birthday Honey!! Hope your day is wonderful and that you and Paul have a fun day!!!

Today’s question:
What question(s) would you like to see asked in future Musing Mondays posts?
My answer:
My Monday routine has been altered today. Usually I boot up my computer, grab my coffee, set up and open the windows of sites I will need, and head on over to Should Be Reading to get Monday’s Musing question to answer. However, today we are asked to ask questions for future musings, which also means more coffee to get the brain cells to wake up and think lol. Since I am behind in my “requested review TBR reading schedule”, I am going to ask for hints in this area. So my questions are:
1. Since we are all avid readers with an addiction to books, do you accept more books even though you know you are behind in your reading? Does it then cause anxiety when you receive them knowing you can only read so many books?
2. Do you have a system as to which books to read from your “requested review pile? What is it? What about when there are too many to read in a certain time frame?
3. Something I would like to know since becoming part of this community, is how one manages between the necessities of daily RL, blogging and computer to-dos, and reading all the books in one’s TBR pile. Do you allocate a certain amount of time to each?
July is being hosted by Mrs. Q Book Addict
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.”
