Bringing It Home

Now that I’m in the gym and on the dreaded Elliptical machine every day, I’ve been reading more (the only way I can stand that machine). I decided I wanted to check out one of the big guns’ earliest works. So, since I love Harlan Coben’s standalones,I went back to his beginning–his very first series.

One of my favorite things about Coben’swriting is his ability to describe things in such a way, you get it whether you’ve experienced it or not. And I love that he does it with humor.

The Waiting Room

Car inspection day.

That means I’m writing in a very small waiting room today.

And watching the clock…a lot.

New View?

Got a deep one for you, today. Has there ever been a book you’ve read that actually made you change something about yourself after you read it? A way you approached something, viewed something, etc?

A Room With A…

If you could have a room in your house that was all yours, what would it be (ie, an office, craft room, etc)? Tellus how it would look/what it would have if money was no object…

Bits O’ Summer And Other Stuff

Bits time!

What is your favorite thing to shop for? What’s your least favorite thing to shop for? Something you’re looking forward to this summer? Favorite food at an outdoor barbecue?

Enjoy your weekend!

Taking Over

Yesterday, I asked what one fictional character really stuck with you long after you were done reading.

Today, I want you to tell us about a book you wish had gone a different way than it did–maybe a different ending, a different bad guy, a different lesson, a different setting… What change would you make if you could go back in and rewrite it?

That Unforgettable One

Although, technically, yesterday was “Reading Tuesday” around here, I kind of deviated from that with our field trip to the WhodunitAuthor blog.

So, I’m tossing a book-related question out to you that I’m kind of excited about. But it might require your thinking caps and maybe a little soul searching.

Okay, here we go…

Of all the books you’ve read throughout your life, thus far, tell us the one character you’ve never been able to forget and why?

Field Trip Time

I’m up at bat at the Whodunit Authors’ blog today.

Pssst: There are pictures…and a giveaway!

Just click on the link in the first sentence, and I’ll see you there!

Show Tunes

Over the weekend, DH and I went to the local dinner theater to see Man of La Mancha. And while the story is wonderful, the highlight is listening to the main character, Don Quixote, belt out the lyricstoThe Impossible Dream.It is, without a doubt, one of the best Broadway musical show tunes.

The lyrics, the score all come together in a truly moving piece.

For Good, from Wicked is also an incredibly moving soon. I actually cried when I heard that song for the first time with my daughters.

Musical Bits

Bits time!! And I’m taking it in the direction of music…

1) Favorite musical group?

2) Favorite solo artist?

3) Last concert you saw?

4) Confession time: Who do you listen to that younever thought you would (music wise)?
