Oh I can just tell it is going to be a BE-A- UTIFUL day today. The sun is already shining this early and I cant wait to be in it!
I have touched base with all BEA roommates and I am getting seriously excited. (Here is a little background music while you read this post).
Ok… LOL. I had to do that.
I biked yesterday 18 miles instead of rollerblading. Wendy has strep throat so had to cancel on me. Thats ok, I havent had the bike out for a while now and it felt good to do the ride on a sunny day. The big 150 mile is in June and I am seriously praying on nice weather for that two day ride!
I have so many reviews to write and such a busy schedule. My plan was to be all caught up before I left for BEA and I hope I can still do that. Books are read, I just got behind on the reviews.
On another bookish note I am ready for a new audio book on my IPOD. I received my monthly credit from Audible yesterday and I have chosen The Eyes Of Darkness by Dean Koontz. I loved Koontz in my early 20’s and read everything he had written. I havent read him now for a while and I am excited about this new one!
I also think I am going to pick up Kiss by Ted Dekker. Audible is having a 48 hour sale and this one is one of the sale audio that I would like to have.
We will talk more about audio one of these days! I know many of you do not listen to them but I love them and I want to do a pro con post…. when I have time. (Insert smile here).
Have an awesome day – as I type I am already late for the gym and I will have to catch up with Jennifer.
Book Journey 
Have a great day Sheila. Glad the sun is shining; it’s poking out from behind the clouds here too today 🙂
I look forward to your post about audio books – I am a fairly recent convert and love them now.
Hi Book Whisperer – glad to hear you too are having some sun! 😀
Great song choice 😉 I can’t wait either!
Thanks Amy! Hope to find you among the bloggers!
Sheila, I really do find you an inspiration. You manage to pack so much into your days. I want to be more like you and make sure every minute is filled with something wonderful.
Vivienne,
still feels like I cant get it all done.. LOL 😀
I love that song!! I just knew it was going to be that one, too, before I noticed the BIG clues…
What an adventure you have before you, and what fun that you’re going to meet other like-minded people.
And NYC! Oh, my, I can almost feel the energy of it, just listening to this music and imagining it all…
Now I’m off to write a review of Kellerman’s book Deception.
I was in a hurry this morning Laurel…. I was trying to think of a song that would express my feelings 🙂
Have fun with the review!
Great Song choice! I am sure you are very excited. I know I am excited about my little trip to New York:) I keep hearing so much about BEA I have decided I am going to try to go next year if there is one. In fact to keep myself on track I am going to blog about my progress, I figure the not wanting to Embarrass myself will keep me motivated, lol. Have a great day!
Thanks Bobbie! I hope you do go next year – maybe make it a post on your side bar where you can keep adding to the goal – like New York or Bust or something like that 🙂
Working backwards as usual. I need to get moving. Just came in overheated from working in the garden. Need to get cleaned up for a viewing and a funeral tomorrow, see Macomber comment.
I LOVE this Pointer Sister’s song. I will go to that convention one of these days. Right now I am trying to get ready for a Florida trip. We leave the 2nd and will return on the 15th. My husband needs a break and we are both looking forward to it.
Have a great trip!
Pat so sorry to hear about the funeral.
I hope you do come to the convention some year. I hope this will be an annual event for me. 🙂
Thanks for the song, I’ve always loved it. It picks you up when you’re down in the dumps!
I have Kiss. Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks Vicki – I cant recall if I read it before or not…. sad. I will have to check my pre blog journals 😉
I have Kiss on my shelf, waiting patiently to be read. I’ve never read a Koontz, though.
I cant recall if I have read Kiss or not. I have it on my shelf – with pretty much everything else that Dekker has written. I thought the audio would be great for my drive time this weekend. Did you see he has a new series out? I just noticed it on the bookshelves locally yesterday. It must have been out for awhile it already has 4 books to it. May be YA – didnt have time to look too closely at them.
As for Koontz – he reminds me a bit of a cross between Stephen King (but no where near as dark) and Harlan Coben. he had a couple I couldn’t get into but for the most part I have read everything of his and find him to be a good mystery suspense author.
OK, thanks for the description!
