Morning Meanderings… I think I have Saturday hair…

Good morning *as I shuffle through the kitchen hair all a twang in sleep pajamas and large fluffy slippers*

Saturday.

At last.

Today Chance and I are road tripping to St Cloud.  I need to look at a couple of things at Hennen’s (the furniture store) and then of course we need to stop at Barnes and Noble (tradition when I am in the area) and maybe we will hit Mongo’s on the way back.  I am hoping not to make a long day out of this as I want to get back home and do a little reading.

For Alyce’s Saturday snapshot I wanted to post this:

This is (Left) Sara, Me, and Cindy. We are in Duluth at the park in fall of 2009. Other than that... we are just goofing off. 😀


This morning as I was looking at my Good reads email I was all excited to see some of the beautiful new releases coming out!  (Ignore the mass piles of books behind me as we share in this moment of new books).

I mean just look at them!

Looking at these, I have heard good things about West Of Here, I am absolutely kicking myself that I have taken the time to read Delirium yet even though it is on my Nook., Fortunate Sons looks interesting, I just read a review on The History Of Witches that sounded interesting enough, and Madame Tussaud is the latest ny Michele Moran – and of course that is totally SSQQQUUUEEEEE  worthy!  Of course there is also Sarah Pekkenen’s new one Skipping A Beat (not pictured here) but woo….. I loved her last book.

Are there any on this list that are on your “must read” list?  Any other releases coming up that you have circled on the calendar and can not wait to read?

Morning Meanderings… SATURDAY and a reading avalanche!

Good Morning!!!  SATURDAY!!!

Saturdays are my favorite day of the week!  I do not work on Saturdays and if I am careful – I can keep them open to no commitments, much like today.  I do like that.

It seems like all week I have been reading as I have had time and that has not been much.  I have been listening to audio in my car, in the kitchen and in my IPOD.  Today – both the IPOD book and the kitchen audio will complete as well as two books I am reading that are both very close to the end.  Now I feel like a complete wealth of book reviews that I want to share with you about – but have to space them out.

I also have a couple exciting events coming up.  The Berg Fest will be announced within the next few days as well as the book choice for Word Shakers (hopefully I can post that tomorrow).  How funny it is that all this week I have stumbled for posts and now I can’t seem to fit them all in fast enough.

COFFEE CUP and I are  going to read this morning and write a couple of reviews. This week is going to be a full one, there will be lots of excitement around here.  It is my birthday week and I will be having giveaways along with fun posts!

Alyce from At Home With Books has a fun meme called Snapshot Saturday where we are asked to post a picture.  So here is mine for this week:

This picture is from a girls weekend in Fargo in 2009.  We went to a nice restaurant for dinner and there was this huge monkey statue which the girls ( L: Deb, Paula, and Amy) all sat in front of and imitated.  I love good times with good friends!

One more thing – keep a reminder that this Monday, What Are You Reading will be celebrating its one year anniversary here and things are going to be exciting!  If you participate in this meme plan for some fun and if you have not participated in this meme, this may be your week to give it a try!  😀
