Good morning. I took the liberty of giving myself an extra hour of sleep this morning and while I don’t think I am even yet fully awake, I believe the extra hour will pay off as I get going today.
Today is a new day and Coffee Cup and I have even done a bit of blog hopping already this morning. I am a little surprised I have any hopping energy left as the past five days I have tried to see as many blogs as possible and comment wherever I could. I have to admit My Friend Amy was right, there is no way you can get around to all of them and believe me – I tried.
I still plan to keep on traveling to blogs during my Morning Meanderings so if I didn’t get to you – I mean too, and if you leave a comment here I will definitely be there,as I do visit everyone who visits me.
Now post BBAW (a round of applause to all who made this event happen!!!) I am planning to get back to meandering and this morning I have a review to share with you from Different Time, Different Place Book Reviews – which I found through BBAW. Debbie has a review posted for a book called The Road To Unafraid by Jeff Struecker.
What is interesting is that Debbie reviewed this book in April and I probably would have never known about it if she had not put up a quote from this book for yesterdays post. Seriously – the quote stopped me in my blog hopping tracks and I had to follow up by reading her review. Here is the link to her post Meek is not Weak. Powerful stuff.
I encourage you to read Debbies review and the Friday Quote. Leave her a comment (we all love comments!). I for one during this past 5 days of BBAW know that there are so many of us out there it is important that we say hi when we visit…. I think it gives each of us a little lift as we read… and we write….. and we review. 🙂
On a separate note I am excited to be reviewing two books during a dinner I have planned for my hubby tonight for his birthday. We are grilling and having friends over and I thought this would be a wonderful time to review Mix Shake Stir from Danny Meyer’s acclaimed New York Restaurants (sent to me by Hachette for review) and Make Ahead Meals by our very own Jane Doiron. These reviews will be up in the next couple days!
Have a wonderful Saturday all!

Happy Birthday to your husband.
Sounds like a great celebration lies ahead! BTW, if you have time, please visit my NEWEST blog (I know, I’m crazy!), at http://snowimpressions.blogspot.com
Now I have six on Word Press and six on Blogger. Seems only fair!
Happy Birthday Sheila’s Hubby! Can’t wait to read your reviews!
Happy Birthday to your husband. Have fun celebrating – I’ve seen some yummy recipes and good reviews for both books!
Thanks so much for linking to my review! I post book quotes that I think are especially interesting in an effort to make people aware of my past reviews. I’m glad to hear it worked so well. 🙂
Happy Birthday to your husband and have a great dinner tonight!
I love it when I find out about a book via another person’s blog. It’s proof that what we do is valuable and meaningful.
I hope you enjoy the Make Ahead Meals For Busy Moms. I just cooked two recipes out of there and posted my review! I think she did a great job! The BBQ pulled pork came out awesome!!!
I completely agree with you. There are so many wonderful blogs out there and I love following them, but actually keeping up with them seems impossible to me. I have been trying my hardest and failing epically. I almost had my googlereader down to 0 but then I had a huge wave of homework and now it’s up to 500. Whoops. Anyway, here I am stopping by to say hi! And still loving your morning meanderings and looking forward to implementing my own (and crediting your lovely blog for the inspiration!)
