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!
My Teaser:
Before I could scream or duck, the shot rang out and the man at the table in front of ours slumped in his chair. Then I did scream, the same way I’d screamed twenty years earlier in my driveway.

Todays Musing:
What book tops your TBR (to be read) pile right now? Is it something you own, or something you have to borrow, or something you’ll be purchasing? Why do you want to read it so badly?

My Response:
The top of my TBR Review Pile, and waiting to be picked up, is The Nobodies Album by Carolyn Parkhurst. I have read some really good reviews and even had a giveaway, so can’t wait to get my hands on it.
When I went “public” with my blog, I really thought requests for reviews would be far and few between, but was wrong. I haven’t read a book from my Personal TBR Bucket Pile since January. My “Review Policy” is that I read requested review books in order that I receive. So the day they get delivered, a post-it goes on the front of the book, with date received and from who and any other notes regarding that book, example if there is a giveaway, guest author posting, etc etc. Every book in my TBR Review pile, I am anxious to read because either I asked to read it or when an email was sent asking if I would review, I read the synopsis to see if I think I would enjoy and be a good “match”. My pile is high but am looking forward to reading each and every one of them. Happy Reading all!!!

Read-A-Thon Wrap-Up (4 of 4)

CMash August 2, 2010 1 Comment

48hr Rread-A-Thon hosted by UNPUTDOWNABLES

WRAP-UP:
I finished one book and started another, but am disappointed as to how much I got done. I have learned and need to remind myself….”Self…do not sign up for WEEKEND read-a-thons because the non readers in my house don’t get the concept of a Read-A-Thon” lol. But when I was able to pick up my book and read, it was fun knowing it was for the Read-A-Thon. Maybe next time I will do better and reach my goals. That just didn’t happen this weekend. But thank you to UNPUTDOWNABLES for hosting.
