Jamie’s comments from the Run from Reality Read-a-Thon group.

Woohoo! I've got it in the newsletter, too! ♡

All of those sound great!

I haven't had a chance to check out Murder on the Rocks, yet, but I did download Paw Enforcement by Diane Kelly after reading the sample.

I was actually waiting to see what you thought of Hate to Love You. Lol. Since I know you're a fan. It looks good, so I think I might try it out. Is it a stand-a-lone book or feature characters from a previous series??

Eat, Pray, Die sounds hilarious. I am gonna check that out, too.

You have given me a huge load of recommendations lately. I wish I could just sit and read all day, doing nothing else. Lol.

Right now, I'm rereading the Magdalene series in prep for the 3rd book's release. I'm rereading on Audiobook, though, so I can get through it a bit faster.

I also have The Elemental Awakenings series to read. It will be a reread of book 1, and my first read of books 2-4. 

As I said up above, I added Paw Enforcement to my list, too. 

Lots to read and so little time. Haha ♡

I nominate

I've only downloaded the sample. Haven't tried yet, but I'll let ya know. ♡

Let us know what you think Sara. ♡

I couldn't get into it. I have a hard time liking Sookie. LOL!"

Awww. That stinks. 🙁

Our very first recipe!!

And it is so good y'all. So easy, too.

Double BBQ Bacon Chicken Foil Packs

INGREDIENTS:
*1 1/4 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cut in 3/4-inch chunks
*2 tsp oil
*1 tbsp Italian seasoning
*3/4 tsp salt
*1/4 tsp pepper
*4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
*1 1/2 tsp bbq seasoning
*4 slices cooked bacon, halved crosswise
*1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4oz)
*1/4 cup bbq sauce
*2 green onions, sliced

DIRECTIONS:
1)Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18×12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
2)Add cut potatoes to medium bowl. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir until evenly coated.
3)Season chicken with bbq seasoning, and place on center of each sheet of foil. Dividing evenly, spoon potato mixture around each chicken breast. Lay bacon slices over chicken.
4)Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
5)Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; coom 10 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 9 to 10 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165° F). Remove packs from grill; cut large X across top of each pack. Carefully fold back foil; sprinkle potatoes with cheese. Top each chicken breast with 1 tablesoon bbq sauce, and garnish with green onions.

NOTES:
☆I didn't use the entire amount of Italian Seasoning. I was afraid if it overpowering the chicken and bbq.
☆I used nonstick foil. It's thick and the food slides right off.
☆I made mine in the oven since I don't know how to use the grill. It turned ouf perfect.
☆I used the Real Bacon Pieces so I didn't have to mess with making my own.

Enjoy!!

With picky little ones, particular spouses, and innumerable allergies, cooking can be exhausting. Finding new, easy, and delicious meals for our menu rotation makes dinner time much more fulfilling.

Add your recipes. Read through those that others put forth, and let us know how they turn out! ♡

This could be good. Makes for a little more stability when everyone's schedules are so different and busy.

I suggest a time spanning the middle of the month. It might be a little less hectic than the beginning or end of the month.

We could always trial it for a couple of months with set dates, see how people react. ♡

Whit? What did you end up thinking of this one? Will you read on? ♡

Lol. I figured you prolly had another book going since you hadn't said you finished yet. I thought for sure you would before me. Haha.

I'm down to read the next as a buddy read. Just lemme know when. ♡

I'm finished! I liked it a lot. it was a wild ride, and I felt it really embodied what the 80's were all about.

I rated it 3.5 Stars! I was a little disappointed in Tina at first, being so malleable. That said, it was still fun to read about fishnets, walkmans and trans ams. Lol.

I'd be interested in a full length novel. I'm looking forward to book 2! ♡

Doyley

This is all I could come up with, and I'm not sure where we will go from here. Lol.

LOL. I'm only on chapter 2, but I'm liking it so far. And wow is some of this dialog bringing back memories. I swear I can still taste my mom's aquanet hairspray to this day. LMAO. <3

Drivel

I like both POV. I just feel that there is a broader understanding of the story with both since we get twice the thoughts, feelings, and actions. To me, it's an added push and pull to the story. ♡

I'm excited for this group read. It's been a while since I read this series, so I'm happy to jump back in and talk it out with y'all. I also loved the t.v. series. ♡

Just to update...I did finish my RaT goal. I just had a period without internet and got behind on posting. Sorry. ♡
