Morning Meanderings…

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)


I’ve got the grog.

I am groggy.  That first cup of coffee was just a trial run…. I am going to have to have a do over this morning.

*Going to kitchen for second cup… shuffling feet back to laptop*

Ok.  Good Morning!  That’s better.  🙂

Last nights book was super fabulo-sious *A new spell for Harry Potter that makes everything wonderful 😉.  I love those girls!  Our discussion of Little Bee by Chris Cleave was so good.  With mixed reviews and thoughts, it was still a rocking good time that I can not wait to share with you tomorrow!

Our book pick for May is The Girl She Used To Be by David Cristofano.  I am super excited about this recommendation.  I had nominated this one last month and one of the girls in our group read it and thought it was fantastic!  This one will go in the suitcase.


And speaking of the suitcase which is still unpacked… I leave at 7 am tomorrow morning for Florida (insert SQUUUUEEEEE here).  I am excited, but have been so busy I feel completely disorganized.  I work a full day today, need to drop some books at the post office, run on treadmill with Heidi at 4 pm, get home around 5 and pull it all together.

Yikes!  There were books from the readathon pile that I did not get to.  A few of them are going in the suitcase.  Any thoughts as to which books they may be, or any suggestions of what books should be going along?  My nineteen year old son who is joining me on this trip is also a reader so I am hoping to take books he will enjoy too.

Now that  my mind is in high gear from the second cup of coffee  I am thinking I really need to get the Word Shakers on line book club going again after the winter hiatus!

Now I am feeling a little like Corky Romano (following clip) and if you have not seen this movie – HIGHLY recommend it.  I laughed and laughed….. (wish I had his car here too)

Have an awesome day peeps!  I am off to work – review up later 🙂

    1. Hi Bobbie – yes Wordshakers was a lot of fun and then I got busy and dropped the ball. Big time. I still want to do it…. and have a book in mind, just need to get organized. 😀

  8. I made the mistake of taking a new allergy medicine yesterday. I was in a fog all day. Coffee didn’t help. Today I’ll just suffer and at least be awake and functioning. I don’t think it will matter much which books you bring. You will probably be doing enough not to have much reading time. I always pack a dozen or so for a trip and am lucky to finish one or two.
    Since I never really pack until the last minute, you are right on schedule : )

    1. That’s why I am not going to go books crazy Pat for this trip – just books for the plane and late evening…. leaning towards the 100 Cupboard trilogy and maybe Hex Hall. 🙂
