Morning Meanderings…. Exciting Books And Judging Begins!

1j

Good morning!  Happy Sunday!  I was watching Harry Potter last night, Order Of The Phoenix and I love that when they take Christmas break he tells them all “Happy Christmas!”  I love that!   I am from the “Merry Christmas” part of the world but totally want to change it up!  Perhaps I should say “Merry Sunday” to you!

Perhaps… I should quit rambling.  😛

I left the house on Friday early afternoon for a short trip to the cabin up North.  Not short in driving… it was almost 4 hours (one way) with the road construction which is always a sign of spring in Minnesota, but short as in I only stayed overnight and returned later Saturday afternoon.  I went to check on things as I have not been there since January and watched two movies, ‘Grown Ups’ and ‘Jump The Broom’, and then proceeded to get deep into the book Confessions Of A Prairie Bitch by Alison Arngrim (Nellie Olson).  Possible review up later today. 

For the last few weeks I have been planning a Sunday post with the books that have come in the house and week after week I seem like I never get the post up – SO…. here it is.  The books that have arrived over the past three weeks:

A couple of the books, With A Name Like Love and Wreath are for the INSPY Award judging.  I am a judge in the YA category.  There are 5 books to read total for that.  Houdini was a find I picked up at a sale on Friday.  When I made my purchase the elderly man running the sale told me to “not try the stunts inside”…LOL  How did he know?

So there we are.  A little over a week out from BEA, I will be flying into New York next Tuesday morning.  If you are also going to BEA please look me up and say hi!  I will be watching my twitter @bookjourney for messages and the Blogger Connection list that people have signed up on will be going out later today or tomorrow.

  1. I definitely want to read Confessions of a Prairie Bitch….loved that show. I get nostalgic just thinking of it.

    We were living in a quirky house (an English Tudor), and I can still see the kids on the floor watching the show when I came into the house just when the show started. I was counseling at Planned Parenthood some evenings back then.

    Funny the things we associate with TV shows….
