Monday Memes

Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading

This week's question:

What’s the last thing you stayed up half the night reading because it was so good you couldn’t put it down?
My answer:
I have to be honest, it wasn't half the night, those days are long gone.  But it was past the time I usually fall asleep and I was fighting to stay awake to read more.  And it was just recently.  It was Godchild by Vincent Zandri.  I have become a big fan of his writing and books, he is like a J. Patterson, A. Hitchcock and with his latest, S. King, all rolled up into one.

January has been hosted by Rose City Reader

 Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of The Printed Page and is now on tour.

According to Marcia, “Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.”
Before sharing my mailbox, I want to give a BIG thank you to Rose City Reader for being a wonderful hostess during the month of January.  I think everyone will agree that it has been a very pleasant experience and she did a fantastic job.  Bravo!!!

"Meet Me On Monday!"
Blogging is a funny thing...we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, "who is this person!?" I know them...but yet I don't know them! I want to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great way for all of us to "meet" each other!

Questions:

1. What do you put on your hot dog?

Preferably sweet pepper relish

2. Do you play Sudoku?

No...anything to do with numbers...No

3. What is your favorite vegetable?

When a person is of Italian heritage, there is no such thing as a "favorite food" lol

from asparagus to zucchini and everything in between

4. Do you color your hair?

Moi?  At my age?  LOL

5. What is your favorite brand of clothing?

Only brand of jeans I will buy.

I am very disappointed with myself this month, not a good way to start off the year.  Even with participating in a Read-A-Thon, I am just having a real hard time focusing on reading with everything else that is going on.  I also have realized that when I read slow books back to back, it puts me in a reading slump, so I apologize to those that are waiting for reviews, but am going to try a little experiment for February and see what happens.  I plan to grab a book depending on what kind of reading mood I am in and see if I can get more reading done that way...just an experiment, so we shall see.... to be continued...
