I'm participating in Feed My Reader Friday hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer, The Sunday Post, hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer, and Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews. The memes allow book bloggers the chance to share print and digital books
they've received and different posts and events at their blog.
Happy Hannukah to everyone who is celebrating!
I am not nearly as ready for Christmas as I need to be. I keep looking at my to-do list and it's not getting noticeably shorter. Somehow, it will all get done but I had hoped to be more organized this year. Two weeks from today I'll be driving down from Massachusetts to Virginia to spend Christmas with my parents and siblings. In good weather and easy traffic, it's about an 8 hour drive so I figure it'll take me about 10 hours.
This Friday I'll be booking it out the door at work at 6PM to go see "The Hobbit". Any parents who are late picking up their child will find them dressed and sitting in the parking lot. Just kidding, but I will be eyeing the clock anxiously as I won't have much time to get to the showing on time. I have high hopes for the movie and I can hardly wait.
Also, I'm looking to sell my old kindle. It's a gray keyboard model, with both 3G and wifi. It comes with a skin (or I can keep the skin) and a black leather cover with a light. If you're interested, email me at beasbooknook@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy The Hobbit :) and I also like the look of Fierce Reads. Happy Sunday, sweetie and Happy Reading! *hugs*
It's a long drive but not a hard one. I'm just hoping for good weather. I got the Fierce Reads books off of Amazon, they may still be free.
DeleteHappy Sunday!
Ooh, you have some fiery hot books in your book haul this week! I am horrible at picking those out, but love them when I get my hands on a good one.
ReplyDeleteI drive from where I am in AL to where I am from in NY at least once a year. 21 hour drive and I always do it in two days. When I get there, I am half dead from exhaustion, so I know it can be tough. Keep safe out there. Happy reading!
Oh boy, that's a long drive. I bet you're exhausted afterwards.
DeleteI have a few fiery reads that I didn't list; they're fun to read.
Have a good weekend and happy reading.
The Hobbit is on my must see list too. You'll have to let us know how it was!
ReplyDeleteYou know how you could add an extra layer of torture on that eight hour trip? Disco road tunes. I'll start putting together a mix tape for you this afternoon. ;)
Better hurry so it arrives before I leave. :D
DeleteI picked up some of those freebies, as well.. hmm I did miss a few of those steamy ones!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip, and enjoy all your #HOT goodies ;)
Thanks :)
DeleteHeh, I actually have a few more than I didn't post :D
YAY for The Hobbit! Man...you've got so much going on as well as so many great books this week! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my IMM & SP.

DeleteYou are cracking me up today!!! I have to ask, do you go thru New York or around?
ReplyDeleteAnd I will NOT kick you - you must get books - you only got a few, the rest are freebies!!! It's all good!! Although I say that everyweek ;)
Have a great holiday and if I miss ya, drive safely....
Kristin, I don't go through NYC; I go I87, so much easier.
DeleteBut please, kick me! My review TBR pile is insane!
Nice haul this week. We will be staying home this year for Christmas. That is a long drive... Have a great week..

DeleteWOW. Lots of awesome books this week. Great haul. Some of your books look very spicy.
ReplyDeleteGrace
Thanks :)
DeleteO.o what a nice naughty haul! I cannot wait to see the Hobbit, so jelly! You are right somehow the list always gets done, even if we are completely exhausted by the big day.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, and parents get your kids on time! The Sunday Post
Kimba I ordered my Hobbit tix back in early November :D Bounce Bounce
DeleteYou're right, the list will get done and I'll be exhausted. I was hoping to avoid the exhausted part this year, oh well.
Have a good week. :)
Wow...you did have a busy week! Hopefully the next two weeks will be a bit calmer so you can prepare for your drive!
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa; I'll need to look carefully at my schedule and see what I can eliminate.
