TUESDAY

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!

“Help Me….carry her.”
Elizabeth came running from the kitchen and threw open the door. She froze at the sight of her mother. Sadie’s face was only a shade darker than the snow covering her.

Okay, now for this week’s question:

Do you eat/drink while reading? If so, do you have some favorite reading snacks?
My answer:
Yes. As far as drinks, it depends on the time of day and the time of year. I usually would have a glass of water with a lot of ice cubes…has to be ice water. But if its in the morning, hot coffee. at night either water, tea or hot chocolate. Snacks are usually fruits or pretzel sticks.
Ok….now what about you….do you eat/drink while reading?

To all my American bloggy friends Happy Columbus Day!!! And to my international bloggy friends….Happy Monday!!!

For all those that participated in the Dewey Read-A-Thon….a BIG WTG!!!!

I hope you got a lot of reading done and I promise, I will type this post in my “whisper voice” just in case you are now dozing, napping and/or sleeping.

Couple of days left so head on over to the giveaway page and enter!!!

Because of time, Monday’s memes will return next week. I really thought with everything going on in real life, that I might just be able to multitask and get it all posted. WRONG!! In case you have noticed a lack of energy, participation, visiting blogs, etc etc from the usual me, it is because that real life, not only took first place priority, it also took 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc. At this time, I want to apologize to authors, publishers, agents, followers, visitors, and representatives for products for falling so behind in reading schedules and reviews.

Please believe that I tried keeping up the best that I could but some issues were so important and very time consuming that I fell behind. We have resolved some of the issues and the rest will be dealt with. My plan is to, over the next few days, try to catch up on blog/computer items

then hunker down and get back into my reading schedule.

Again, I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused but “real life” took precedent over hobby.

Yesterday, however, was a fantastic day. We attended a wedding and had so much fun (that is why this posting is so late). Friends of my youngest son, who was a groom’s man, were married and we were all invited to share their special day with them. Congratulations Nick and Mary!!!

Having both our sons “home” (both living out of state) and spending time with them and their girlfriends (hubby and I consider the girls our “daughters”) was wonderful and an added bonus. Matter of fact, my hubby had so much fun and couldn’t stop smiling after he was asked to dance by the girls and was on the dance floor with both “his daughters”.

Have a great Monday….I am off to start the process of catching up!!!!

SATURDAY

Hosted by Danielle at There’s A Book

From her blog:
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.
Because this weekend is Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-A-Thon, we will retreat back to book related questions for one weekend!

So, This Week’s Question is: How many books have you read in a single sitting? Or, how long have you stayed up reading a book, which one, and why?

I was so excited when I started seeing posts about this weekend’s Read-A-Thon, until I realized that I would not be able to participate due to previous plans. I will, unofficially, take part in between the “real life” commitments.

I have been able to complete a book in one sitting but it doesn’t happen often due to “real life” interruptions. I have also read late into the night because I just couldn’t put a book down, but learned that I would pay for it the next day when it is was hard to get my body out of neutral and had to struggle to keep my eyes open from lack of sleep.

HAPPY READ-A-THON!!!!!
