Ever wonder who your gal/fellow bloggers are? Who is on the other side of the screen/monitor? Ever wish you could meet other bloggers for coffee/tea, lunch and, of course, dessert? Well, here is your chance!!. Grab a table, put your order in and start gabbing!! (CHOICE OF BUTTONS LOCATED RIGHT SIDEBAR)

Post 1-3 of your conversation tidbits, which can be, for examples, tell us something interesting about you that we don’t know, ask a question of your gal/fellow blogger that you would like to know, share something that may have been exciting that happened to you this week, or something you are looking forward to, or share a how-to, or maybe ask about a how-to, or talk about something that annoys you, your opinion about a certain issue, a comment about something that was in the news this week and your opinion, or maybe ask advice, etc., etc., the list is endless. You get the idea. Just as if you were meeting a friend over coffee. And the conversation begins.

After you post your 1-3 conversation tidbits, come back here and link up, start visiting other blogs, answer their questions or respond to their comments. Then meet another blogger for coffee at their place, maybe have another piece of pastry while talking (and just think…this has 0 calories!!!)

Hope you join in, tell your friends, get to know more about old friends, meet new friends (possibly even becoming a new follower of their blog…if you do…leave that in your responses so that they know and hopefully will follow you back), get to know more about old friends, meet new friends and more importantly…..HAVE FUN !!! So lets grab a table, sit down, order a coffee and start gabbing !!!!

My conversation tidbits:
1.  Do you have any special plans for this week?
2.  It’s that time of year, do you get a flu shot?
3.  What are you reading this week?

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!

McCabe focused the light once more on the body in the trunk, looking this time not for moles but for evidence. For something that might tell him who had killed this woman and how.

  Set on the coast of Maine over the course of four summers, Red Hook Road tells the story of two families, the Tetherlys and the Copakens, and of the ways in which their lives are unraveled and stitched together by misfortune, by good intentions and failure, and by love and calamity.
  A marriage collapses under the strain of a daughter’s death; two bereaved siblings find comfort in one another; and an adopted young girl breathes new life into her family with her prodigious talent for the violin. As she writes with obvious affection for these unforgettable characters, Ayelet Waldman skillfully interweaves life’s finer pleasures–music and literature–with the more mundane joys of living. Within these resonant pages, a vase filled with wildflowers or a cold beer on a hot summer day serve as constant reminders…

This is a meme to list the books completed last week, the books currently being read, and the books to be finished this week
Last week was not a good one when it came to my reading.  Found myself in a slump.  Hopefully this week will be better.
