Fragment Friday (1)

Fragment Friday is hosted by Book Chic Club. It is a new meme that I am going to be doing now and I am really excited about it.

You take either your current read or a favorite book and you read just a fragment of it and hopefully draw others into the story and intrigue them enough so they will go out and get the book.

Here is my Fragment Friday from youtube...



Until next time, Happy "reading"...

Waiting for Wednesday (2)

Waiting for Wednesday is hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. This is a meme where you post an upcoming book that you are eagerly awaiting.




Matched by Ally Condie
Publication Date: November 2010
 
(from Barnes & Noble)
 
Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.
The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

Until next time, Have a good "read"...

Re-organizing bookshelves...

I usually get bored with stuff and so end up moving stuff around. My family knows that nothing in the house will stay like that for long so that don't get used to the way stuff is.

So since I have been still acquiring books I was bound to run out of room. I had some shelves from a bookcase we tried to salvage from someones garbage, but the bookcase fell apart and we were left with the shelves. I am glad that I didn't toss those too.

I took two of the shelves and added one to a bookcase I already had and my husband took another and put it in my entertainment center since I wasn't nor do I plan on using it to put a TV in....Now I have more room.....enough for the books I already have plus some....

Check out my youtube video to see how it turned out.

Until next time, Happy "reading"...

Still reading....

So, I am still reading "Dreamside" by Graham Joyce and I am only pg. 50!! Usually I go through a book in a day or two, and with this only being 250pgs I should have been through this and on to my next book. But....I'm not...obviously....

I don't know what it is, but I just haven't had the time to read lately. Between work (my schedule was different this week then usual) and then shopping lately (for my new camera from my dear hubby for our Anniversary, which happens to be tomorrow) and taking my daughter for her Halloween costume, etc. By the time I have been ready to lay down and read I have been just so tired.

OK, OK, so I have been also watching way too many youtube videos...LOL! And posting some (have to try out my new camera)...but after I am done with my blog I truly plan on getting at least 2/3 through this book. Hopefully I can actually finish it so that I can start another one since it is only 4 in the afternoon right now...

Until next time, Happy "reading"...

Book Reviews

Majorly Disappointed!! (Book Haul)

OK, remember I was just saying the other day how I was excited about my librarys annual booksale, which was yesterday?? But then I said I didn't want to get too excited because I didn't want to be disappointed basically...well, I was MAJORLY DISAPPOINTED!!

Yeah, and I was not the only one...usually the annual booksales take up a whole conference room with books still in boxes that couldn't fit on the tables. Well, this year all the books took up literally 8 6ft tables plus SOME (because that is all there were) paperbacks on 4 4ft racks. It was absolutely horrible! Even the lady working it said so. She couldn't believe how bad it was this year. There just weren't donations coming in over the year.

I only got 2 books from there...I had a budget to work with and with the books costing .75 I figured I could get around 50 books, if I spent my whole budget....yeah, that didn't happen. I spent $1.50!!

There literally were NO children's books and maybe about half a dozen YA books, with 3 that did not have covers. Very, very sad... :(

So here is my youtube video showing what I got at that sale, what I got at the library book store and what I got in my mailbox (oh, plus Walmart & Plato's Closet)...

Plato's Closet-Jerk, California by Johnathan Friesen
Library Book Store-The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult
Library Book Sale-Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, Dangerous Girls by RL Stine (for my daughter)
Walmart-Morganville Vampires Vol. 2 by Rachel Caine
IMM-Glass by Ellen Hopkins, Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard

Until next time, Have a good "read"...
