Morning Meanderings…. Gifts In The Mail!


Book Lovers/Bloggers are just the best!  Yesterday I came home to a box in my mail from Reagan at Miss Remmer’s Reviews.  She had recently had a post up about a set of The Chronicle Of Narnia books that I was drooling a bit over.  I have my own set and they are ‘much loved” (meaning worn, and brittle) and I keep them up high – more for looking at then reading at this point in their book life.

So – guess what was in my mailbox?  Yup!  She sent me the books – delightful, beautiful, Chronicles Of Narnia books!  Totally “SQUEEEE” worthy.


Thank you Reagan – you rock!  😀

On another note, those of us who registered for BBAW (Book Blogger Appreciation Week) should have received an email with an opportunity to vote for Best Event, Feature, or Meme.  It’s Monday, What Are You Reading is on the meme list and that made me “SQUUUUEEEE” again.

Many of you know I inherited this meme when J Kaye from J Kaye’s Book Blog decided to step away from her blog to further her writing career.  It is an inheritance I was honored to be offered and hope I can be half the blogger J Kaye was. 🙂

Brainerd Minnesota survived the storm from Wednesday – we did get hit with a couple of tornado warnings, downed trees and a bit of building damage in Baxter Minnesota but nothing too serious that I am aware of.  (Makes you want to come visit me – right?)

Have a super fabulous day!

  1. I’m glad you came through the storm ok, but I’d still rather go with your weather over the crap we get in Kansas.

    The Narnia books do look lovely and I voted for It’s Monday, What Are You Reading?

    Have a great day.

    1. Oh thanks Ryan! 😀 You made me smile!

      I had a little video I made of the storm but didnt have time to do anything with it last night to see how it turned out.

  2. Have a great day today! Going to try to run 10miles today.. was really inspired with your 24mile rollerblading thing I am going to aim for that next month, haha.

    1. YAY Jillian! 😀 I am rollerblading this afternoon but need to get a bandaid as I still have a sore spot on my ankle where my shoe rubbed.

      I would love to do another 24 – maybe I can push my rollerblading buddy into breaking our record….

  3. Ohh, that’s so awesome!!! Yay for bookish friends (and mail)!

    And yeah, that storm is kind of inducement to come visit; my husband was watching it on the radar, as usual, and we were thinking of you. He loves watching storms and clouds.

    1. I do too Hannah – the watching part! 🙂 We were hit by a tornado in 2001 and lost part of our home, our business, 20 trees and a 4 car garage, so the storms tend to make me a bit more jumpy then I used to be.

  4. Ohh lucky you. Great books!

    Congrats on making the list with It’s Monday, What are you Reading?

    Wow! Tornado warnings? That would be pretty scary. I love storms but I couldn’t imagine what it would feel like. The most we have to deal with where I live (in Australia) is hailstorms and flooding.

    I always enjoy reading Morning Meanderings! 🙂

    1. Melissa we have had some tough weather already this year. A few weeks ago Wadena Minnesota was hit bad – real bad. They are about 40 miles from us but over 100 homes lost, 3 people died -bad stuff.

      Thanks for the congrats – it was a bit of a fun surprise 🙂

  5. Looks like we have another round of storms on tap for today here in Michigan. Glad that you weathered the bad day!!

    Book blogging buddies are the best!!

    1. Staci, so far it looks like it will be good here today and tomorrow – rain storms on Saturday…. good grief 🙂

      I do like my Blogging Buddies! 😀

  6. What great treats to find in your mailbox! I love those precious books that remind me of happy times and the fun of reading.

    Congrats on the meme nomination.

    Happy day!

  7. Glad the worst of the storms passed you by. Lovely replacement set for you. I got them on CD. My daughter used them with her Sunday School kids. That, plus my dyslexic grandson can enjoy them frequently.
