Tuesday Teaser

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two "teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! Share the title & author, too, so that others can add the book to their TBR Lists!


This weeks teaser is from:

House


By Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker(my fave)


pg 148~  She'd whispered a thousand such prayers since stepping foot into this black space. She even tried to dredge up something from the Book of Common Prayer, which contained a few sentiments she'd memorized, oh, so long ago, but those words eluded her.


I am truly loving this book so far. This is honestly the first book by Frank Peretti I have read, but being a die hard Ted Dekker fan, I knew I would love it. I am a little more than half way through it now and I cannot put it down. I will definitely be adding more of Peretti's books to my to-read list.

New blog...in progress

Happy Sunday,
I just wanted to let everyone know how the new blog is slowly progressing. I have been attempting to make a DIY background. By attempting I mean I have browsed tutorials, flipped through several blogs, help sites and collected patterns, clip arts and images trying to some how figure out this whole creative layering. Through this treacherous process, I have screamed, reloaded, re sized, cropped, saved, bookmarked, searched...... you get the idea. It is not going so well for me. Although it is taking longer than I expected to get it up and going I have been getting in some good reads. So, by the time I actually have a "book blog", I will have a TON to write about!
Also, I am still working on my unique blog title. I have gotten some great ideas both on here and through Facebook(I use networkedblogs also). So, until the next update here is a follow up/updated Title list:

1. Passion for Pages~ 3 votes
2. A Novel Affair~ 2 votes
3. A(nother) Novel Affair~suggested by a friend
4. The Story Keeper~ suggested by friend (I like this one)
5. Diary of a Mad Book Lover~cute!
6.The Musing of a Bookworm~2 votes
7. A Novel Experience~ Liking this one a lot
8. As The Story Unfolds...
9. Read, Review, Restock
10. Tales of a Book -A -Holic
I really wish I knew how to add a voting poll on here, but alas another techy aspect I lack.
Please keep the comments coming and I promise to keep everyone updated as "my story of a book blog" unfolds! :) Hey, I kind of like that one too! Hmmmm......

What do you think? 

This is my actual bookcase! Well, one of them...

Teaser Tuesdays

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:




:Grab your current read.

:Open to a random page.

:Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page.

:BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

:Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Here is my teaser:
The Seduction of His Wife~ Janet Chapman(no relation to "The Dog")
Pg. 186
Alex couldn't for the life of him pick which emotion was in charge at the moment. He was violently shaking over what she'd done, but it might be anger tying his gut in a knot.

I can't stop reading!

I know I've been slacking on my blog writing. But I have been on this reading kick. I seriously have read so much this week I have been having trouble sleeping. It's becoming an obsession. I fall asleep with a book across my chest(which the hubs is getting quite offended by, LOL) and I wake up early just so I can either log on here to read a few new posts before the girls wake up or I try to read a few chapters of whatever book I'm on before 8AM.
So, I wanted to let you all in on what has captured my attention for the better part of the last 2weeks.
I'll start of with a few of my favorite blogs then follow with what books I've been reading.
Great blogs! And these are totally random, so no hurt feeling if your not listed. Trying to go by last post that really caught my attention!
` The Life of Tracia`
A Mother's Work is Never Done
Apron Strings
Cooking For Little Fingers
Crazy-For-Books.com
Flight of the Mama Bee
My Name is Not Mommy
Proud Book Nerd
Seeds of Faith Women
SinSiNattie
Skinned Knees
StrawberryRoan
The Reason For My Insanity
Theses mommies have amazing blogs!

Now on to my BOOKS!
I'll list the latest 3 I have finished!

These are the first 2 of a 4 book series based on the first settlers in what is now Ohio(where I'm at). I just picked up the 3rd book from the library today. can't wait to get reading it!

Book 1:Proper Intentions~Dianne Christner

Book 2:Lofty Ambitions

Book 3: Ample Portions

Book 4: Castor Oil and Lavender

And here is the 3rd book I finished this week

It is 4 short stories about Colonial Christmas' I know it's off season, but it really is a wonderful collection of Christian stories

Colonial Christmas Brides~ By: LauraLee Bliss & Irene B. Brand

If these types of books interest you, then I recommend finding a copy.

I love just about any type of book. From true crime, romance, historical, even jr readers as you may have noticed(I steal my daughter's all the time), but I really enjoy anything based loosely on actual history or facts woven into any type of story. Hey we can always learn something new. Or should I say old?

Happy Reading and Blogging!
