Morning Meanderings…

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)

This is my favorite day of the week.  Rarely on a Saturday morning do I have a pressing commitment so I am allowed a bit of luxury time in a quiet house with Coffee Cup and Lap Top…. tiptoeing through the blogesphere and seeing what everyone else is doing this morning.  This is also my favorite time of the day.  Pre – rush.  Sure the day will soon hold for me a workout session, returning to the ugly sweater search (see yesterdays post), a little bit of Christmas shopping as I haven’t even started yet, picking up my meatballs for making my appetizer for tonight’s party, and maybe a quick trip to J C Penneys as I am in that rare mood where I want to shop.

This morning while drinking Cameron’s Holiday Charm Peppermint Stick coffee (had to try it – it sounded so festive!) I found a couple points of interest at blogs I like to visit.

Jennifer over at Rundpinne has a wonderful post up about a book called Pearl Girls, encountering grit, encountering grace.  The cover is super fabulous and it is written by 60 authors telling short stories!  Anyway – stop over and see Jennifer, say hi, and take a look at this review.  All proceeds of the books are going to two charities and that is really a wonderful thing!

AND

For the YA lover in me (addict is probably not too harsh a word…) I found a book that has my attention over at Between The Pages.  The book is called Just Breeze and the girl on the cover with the fabulous long red hair really caught my attention.  The storyline did as well.  This is another spot I encourage you to stop over and check out.  Between The Pages blog header is fantastic so be sure to take a look at that as well.

So on that note…  I am off to prep my review for later today…. and would like to leave you now with the song that will not leave my head. Sorry – but I think this is fitting.  🙂  Have a great day everyone!

  4. I visit Jennifer at Rundpinne often so I know she’s always got something interesting going on over there 🙂 Just check out Between the Pages and her header is very cool 🙂

    Peppermint stick coffee? Where do I get that?! Yummmmmy!

    As far as Christmas shopping, I did all of mine online this year. Sooo worth the extra money for shipping and handling. I’m like you, I have to be in the mood to shop, which isn’t often. Besides, I found really cool purse inserts online – like a purse inside a purse – so it’s easy to change purses. I bought 6 of them for gifts. Yay for me!

    1. Hi Lynne… the coffee.. sounds better than it was…. kind of like coffee with a little hint of peppermint… like if you had a peppermint candy in your mouth maybe an hour before the coffee… not real impressive… I was a bit bummed. 🙂

      I do as much shopping as I can online but havent even done that yet. Like the purse inserts…. great idea!

  7. I remember when this song came out! Do you remember the British song “Do They Know It’s Christmastime” that inspired We Are The World? That’s one of my all-time favorites!

    Looking forward to the ugly sweater pictures on Sunday!

  9. Jennifer is on my regular blog list, and I went over to check out that blog header…it’s great! You know I love interesting blog headers!

    I’m late getting here today, because I’m still “mopping up” from my e-mail disaster! Had to change e-mail accounts and addresses.
