This is a meme to list the books completed last week, the books currently being read, and the books to be finished this week.
  Completed:  Unfortunately, due to scheduled appointments, I didn’t finish one book.   : (
  This week:  I am going to be optimistic and finish Live To Tell by Wendy Corsi-Staub (my current read). 
And maybe even completing the next book on my schedule The Cutting by James Hayman

Sunday

Photobucket
A couple of things before Sunday’s meme……
  Did you change your clocks…Spring forward.  When I woke up this morning, because some clocks were adjusted some not,  and not being fully awake, I was a little confused lol.
  Thank you to all that stopped by and visited yesterday.  I enjoyed reading all of your comments!!!!

Slapdash Sunday is a day for your proverbial week ‘leftovers.’ Is there something you wanted to say, but just forgot? Is there something you want to write about, but isn’t worth a whole page? Do you have a random thought, funny or otherwise that needs to be written down?

That is what Slapdash Sunday is for!

In my travels yesterday around the blogosphere, I visited Reading With Tequila’s Blog site and she had a Poll where she asked her readers what book she should read next.  The survey tool was from a site called Polldaddy……my question is this……how and where do you find cute little extras to put on your blog?  Is it from other sites that you have visited like I did?  Or are there sites that offer bloggers tools to work with?
 
I am so behind in my reading this week so my plan is to get a couple more things done and then I plan to spend the rest of the day READING AND RELAXING !!!! 

Relax and Read Weekend

Saturday Time

WOW !!!!!!!  What a day this has been.  Just received another award.  Bella from Obsessed Book Blog (http://paranormal-obsession.blogspot.com/) presented me with this award:

This is the first time that I have seen this award and absolutely love it !!!!!!  Ditto for this award as stated earlier.  Thank you Bella for thinking that I have a Stylish Blog.  It is so appreciated.

100th Follower

OMG !!!!!!  I am soooooo excited.  A few months ago I never thought about having followers.  I created this blog as a “personal journal” for books I had read.  But with the help, kindness and encouragement of several kind book bloggers, I took the chance of going “public.”  And as they say “The Rest Is History”

Thank you Morgan from Smitten With Books (http://www.smittenwithbooks.blogspot.com/) for stopping by, visiting and becoming my 100th follower.  And thank you to all the other 99 followers.

I had been thinking that if I did make it to 100 followers, I would personally sponsor a giveaway.  But with all my personal issues and appointments, I am afraid I would not have the time needed to do one, especially since it would be a 1st for me.  So this is what I am thinking…….a celebration in the middle of April for a “post 100th follower and a “return to blogging” after my surgery.  Again THANK YOU ALL !!!!!!!!

Saturday #2 Time

Jeannie over at Pine Cottage Books (http://pinecottagebooks.blogspot.com/) has so kindly presented me with this award.  I accept it with great humility.  I know that some bloggers don’t do awards and that is ok, but when another blogger presents me with one, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling.  It also makes me feel like when the new kid at school gets picked first to be on a team.  Maybe its because I am still a semi newbie at blogging!  Or maybe its because I lurked around the corners for a few months when I first found a book blog and was in awe of it!  Or maybe its because I found out that book bloggers are the best!  Or maybe it looked like so much fun to be part of this community!  NO!!   Its because of ALL those maybes!!!!  So Jeannie, thank you again.  With accepting this award, I in turn have to pass it on to 15 bloggers, head to their site to let them know that this award now belongs to them.  The majority are new blogs I have just found via The Book Blog Hop.  In no particular order this award goes to ………………..

I am a big James Patterson fan.  I need to catch up with the series before I buy this one though.   I won 7th Heaven from Bookin’ With Bingo’s blog and was so excited.  My son’s gf, who is my book buddy and another Patterson fan gave me a GC to the Sony EReader Library, and I plan on buying this one and another one to complete the series.   And will read once I get caught up with my review books.
