This week I am waiting for the new book in the Shifters series by Rachel Vincent called Shift. I am impatiently looking in my mailbox each day for this one!

Teaser Tuesday!

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!

My teaser for today: Carter Finally Gets It by Brent Crawford

p. 14 - "Teenage guys from all over the area show up at Meriian Pool now, like it's church. Religious attendance, absolute devotion, and everybody wants to get saved."

I Got my Prize - Thanks Kristen!

I just wanted to send out a thank you to Kristen for the awesome book that I won from her contest at Bookworming in the 21st century! I am planning to start it today on my way to the superbowl party!

Another contest! -- Soul Screamers!

I just joined a contest at Library Lounge Lizard - Soul Screamers written by Rachel Vincent- I have recently discovered these books and loved them! Check out the contest and the books!

I am a WINNER! (at least this once)

I am finally a winner - if only for this one moment. I am pleased to say that I have won first prize, which is my choice of book (up to $25 on amazon.com), in a contest from Bookworming in the 21st Century called 600+ follower contest.

I rarely win anything, although I do love to occasionally "donate" at the casino, so I was very excited to find that I did actually win. I thought that choosing my prize would be easy, my wish list on amazon is pages long...but choosing just one - - which one.... so I finally decided that I would choose a book from an author that I love to read, but isn't YA, Tami Hoag . The book is Deeper than the Dead.

I seem to readily buy books that I can share with the students, but seem to wait to buy books just for me. This was a great way for me to be selfish and choose something for just one person. Thanks so much Kristen!

Waiting On Wednesday: Black Magic Sanction

"Waiting On" Wednesday: This is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

I have piles of books, which I am sure everyone who reads this blog does too, and I laugh at myself when I realize that I am eagerly checking out not only "Waiting On"Wednesday, but the "Teaser Tuesdays" too! As if I need more book ideas to add to my stacks.

I am "Waiting On" the latest in the Rachel Morgan books by Kim Harrison. It is called Black Magic Sanction. She is having a book signing in the Twin Cities on March 1, 2010 and I will be going to that, so I know I will only be waiting until then!

Teaser Tuesday: Doomsday Can Wait

Teaser Tuesdays - from Shouldbereading.wordpress.com
Anyone can play! Check out everyones teasers and find even more books to add to your TBR stack!!!!

My teaser:

"A month ago I put a stake through the heart of the only man I've ever loved. Luckily, or not, depending on the day and my mood, that wasn't enough to kill him."

Doomsday Can Wait by Lori Handeland (p.1)

Hey - I finally got a Voki!

I have been watching the students making themselves Vokis and my co-worker has already changed her Voki a couple times, and finally I have gotten in and made one! Super fun. You should go to Voki.com and play around with it.
