Nothing going on around here as there is still 9 inches of snow on the ground. The temps are suppose to be in the 40s but it will take a lot more than that to melt all this snow.
So, Dear LYK Bloggers, I am in my scraproom snuggled up with my supplies and getting ready to play.
I hope that everyone has a fun day and come on over to scrap if you want to. The wine is chilled, the Dr Pepper is cooled, and the room is warm.
Hope to see you all soon..................

Sorry bloggers
I am having so many problems with this blog. It couldnt be user error, of course.
I will try to write something every day if possible but I am not able to update my books and am having trouble adding free books.
One thing I will let you know is that I am still here and still reading. I feel like I have to get a lot of reading done now before it gets warm because I will be outside working. I have tried to think of someway of hanging the Kindle in a bag around my neck so I can listen to the books while I work.
Have a good - warm day.

No update for K2 but update for K3
Amazon is excited to tell you about some new features coming to the latest generation Kindle and Kindle 3G:
-- Public Notes - This feature lets Kindle users choose to make their book notes and highlights available for others to see. Any Kindle user - including authors, their fans, book reviewers, professors and passionate readers everywhere - can opt-in to share their thoughts on book passages and ideas with friends, family members, colleagues, and the greater Kindle community of people who love to read. This is a new way for readers to share their excitement and knowledge about books and get more from the books they read. To review and turn on Public Notes in your own books, view the Public Notes of people you follow, track your reading activities, see Popular Highlights and your annotations, and view your full library of books, go to http://kindle.amazon.com.
-- Real Page Numbers - Our customers have told us they want real page numbers that match the page numbers in print books so they can easily reference and cite passages, and read alongside others in a book club or class. Rather than add page numbers that don't correspond to print books, which is how page numbers have been added to e-books in the past, we're adding real page numbers that correspond directly to a book's print edition. We've already added real page numbers to tens of thousands of Kindle books, including the top 100 bestselling books in the Kindle Store that have matching print editions and thousands more of the most popular books. Page numbers will also be available on our free "Buy Once, Read Everywhere" Kindle apps in the coming months.
-- Before You Go... - When you reach the end of the book, we will now offer a seamless experience that lets you immediately rate the book, share a message about the book with your social network, get personalized recommendations for what to read next, and see more books by the same author.

Monday again
I am still having trouble posting and making changes to this blog. I dont know what happened.
I have finished Bloody Bones and read Of Mice and Men in the DTB form. I have just started a new one but havent gotten past the first page yet.
Hope everyone is enjoying reading and the cold weather. Well at least enjoy reading.
A Time to Love (Quilts of Lancaster County Series #1)
War correspondent Jennie King thinks she’s just a temporary guest in her grandmother’s Amish community while she recuperates from the devastating injuries sustained in a car bomb attack that changed her world. But when she meets Matthew Bontrager, the man she had a crush on as a teenager, she wonders if God has a new plan for her. Jennie has emotional and physical scars and though she feels she has come home to this man and this place, she's not sure she can bridge the difference between their worlds.

PRE-ORDER OCTOBER 4, 2011
Thunder Without Rain
Author: Ryan Brown
Offered by: Simon and Schuster
Subject: Thriller - Mystery - Suspense
Text to Speech Enabled
NO Description or Book Cover Picture available at this time. I did find that Ryan Brown is a thriller writer. Also, this book does show a page length of 352 pages, so maybe it is the full book. Blurb on the author's website about his book, Thunder Without Rain: "Lastly, I'm thrilled to say that my second novel, Thunder Without Rain, will be released in hardcover in the spring of 2011. I'll have plenty more to say about it in the coming months, but for now I hope I can wet your appetite for the book with a little three-word teaser: John Wayne lives." *** FYI: Right now, this book is only available in the US ***

Happy Birthday, Erin !!!!
Yes, it is my baby's birthday. I was 12 years old when I adopted her... lol
I want to apologize to my followers. I have not been able to make changes on my blog for the last couple of days and not even today it wont let me make changes.
I also want to apologize to my daughter and sil that I just cant get into 'Dragon Tattoo' book. I even found a site that gave me a chapter review and I couldnt get into it. Just too many people and too many side stories. Maybe someday I will be able to concentrate enough to read it.
So my new reads are: 'Bloody Bones' by Laurell K Hamilton. It is the 5th book in Anita Blake series.
'The Queen of Palmyra' by Minrose Gwin. I havent started this book yet but hope to start it today. It was recommended by one of my friends and followers, Kathy Manns. She said that it is similar to 'The Help' by Kathryn Stockett but she likes Palmyra better.
I hope to be get to update the blog. I have not found any free books today, but will look for other books that you might enjoy.
Enjoy the cold as it will be hot some day and we will get to complain about it too.
