Good morning! 😀
Yes I am still a bag full of sniffly sneazy coughy “GAH” over here…. BUT – not on antibiotics so hopefully this too will pass. 😛
We leave for the cabin today which is a big “woo hoo” for me… I don’t know why I feel I need a weekend away from it all… but for some reason I just want to get out of dodge and not deal with people, or phones, or commitments…
That said, my recent mailbox arrivals are timely and beyond appreciated:
Thank you so much for the necklace for pre-ordering Ashes by Ilsa Bick and for the two audio books that recently came in the mail from me from fellwo book lovers – SSQQQUUUEEEE!!!! Thank you Nise (Under The Boardwalk) for Blink and Kathy(Bermuda Onion) for The Knitting Circle. 😀
I also need to mention winners for the two audio books I recently offered up to a reader that would like to give them a go… and here are the two winners:
MarthaE!
Beth S
**Please email me your addresses at journey throughbookks@gmail.com and I will mail these audio books next week. 😀
On a completely random note… in September of 2010 I wrote my review for ROOM by Emma Donoghue. Along with that review I also wrote a Spoiler Page (I LOVE using the spoiler page button!). The Spoiler Page is something I use when I find I want to discuss the book more deeply with those who have read it, so I create a safe area where we can chat freely about the book with no fear of saying anything that would be considered spoilers to those who have not read the book. I bring this up becuase recently that page has drawn a little attention again and I can not figure out why. I am getting Spoiler Page comments – which I love…. just curious why suddenly it is being dug out of the Book Journey basement. 😛
Have a super awesome (and safe!) weekend. I am hoping to be able to get a little internet access here and there as I do have reviews ready to roll out…. plus, honestly…. I really like to start my morning chatting it up with all of you. 😀
Book Journey 
I hope your weekend getaway will help you feel better and recharge your batteries. I’m glad to see The Knitting Circle made it there – I think you’ll enjoy it.
Congratulations to the winners!
Maybe Room was just released in paperback?
Maybe that the thing going on with ROOM… the comments are funny as they are mainly around the main controversy of the book…
Thanks for the audio Kathy! I am so excited to try it!
Hope you have a great weekend away! And hope this bug goes away, too.
Thank you Hannah – I am hoping so too… I am ready to just chill… a bit… I hit the ground running again next week. 😀
Have a nice, quiet getaway for Labor Day. Enjoy.
Thanks Tea – I think we will 🙂
Oh, enjoy your getaway….as well as your new books!
Thanks Laurel… should be out of here within the hour 😉
Enjoy your weekend away! I am going to spend the weekend at my parent’s lake house and I am very excited for a few days of rest and relaxation (and reading!).
Thanks you – that sounds WONDERFUL! Have a great time!
Its sounds like a break is exactly what the doctor ordered, enjoy it.
Thanks Terry 🙂
WTG winners!
Thanks Freda 😀
I hope you enjoy your time at the cabin and get some good rest time.
Thanks Alyce – that is my only plan 😀
Oh my goodness! Good thing I was reviewing your posts I missed all week. Thanks so much for the win! I’ll email my info. 🙂
Oh good Martha – I would have emailed too – just had a crazy couple of days 😀
I just discovered your spoiler page button, I haven’t gone on the Room discussion since I haven’t read it yet, but did comment on some of the others. I love the idea of the page. Hope you have fun with your audio books!
Hee hee…. LOVE that button I am about to use it again this week too…. LD
