Sunday Delight: More Sunlight

Daylight saving time kicked my butt. But I love the extra sunlight.  I just need to get outside and enjoy it more.  I am really looking forward to spring cleaning this year for some reason.  I want to clean EVERYTHING and throw out as much as I can.  I might host a giveaway of books on my shelf I no longer want but I want them to go to a good house. 

Here and Now

Time: 7 am

Drinking: Water

Eating:  I think I'll make a bowl of hot oatmeal when I finish this post.

Listening To:  Zero 7 on Pandora again!  This is my go to station for the early morning hours.  Around 10am I change it up. Here is a video of the song I am listening to now. "Destiny"

Watching:  I saw +Resurrection last week and I have to say that it kinda lived up to my expectations.  I am looking forward to watching it again tonight.

Thoughtful Thrusday: Literary Tropes

Hosted by Reading Is Fun Again

Pam over at Reading Is Fun Again started this meme to get a book blogger thoughts on a few bookish things.  You know how much I love sharing my thoughts/opinions on stuff, so I thought it would be perfect to add my two cents in too! And stop by Pam's blog to see her new and cute blog design.

I created Thoughtful Thursday, because bookish thoughts kept popping up in my mind while reading, and I wanted to explore these questions and get your opinions too! -From Reading Is Fun Again

Free Listens for March 2014

After noticing most bloggers post a list of free or really close to free e-books, every week, month or just once in awhile I decided to post a few free audiobooks.  I love free books. I mean who doesn't.

Yes, there is a such thing as a free audiobooks, and they are not just boring old classics either.  I seem to run across a few new ones here and there.  Some of them are short and sweet while others are prequels to popular series. 

When I run across a couple of free audiobooks, I will post them for you to check out as well.

If you are new to audiobooks this is a great way to try one or two without spending any money.  All of these title are FREE at the time of posting.  Things could have changed.

February 2014: Wrap Up

March is here and so are a few days of rain.  To me rain, blankets, hot drinks and books belong together.  You can't have one without the other.  But on my day off to enjoy all of these things the rain has stopped.  Figures.  It's LA so rain days are few and far between.  It would have been nice.  February as usual was quick and I am now caught up on my reading, reviewing and posting of books but not other stuff.  I am aiming for some blog resolution completion this month.  

By the way I should have my black girl card revoked because I forgot to mention a ton of great Black History Month books and events last month.  Just to keep myself cool with the Black community I have to shout out The Brown Bookshelf.  Every year, during the month of February the blog features an African American Author every single day called "28 Days Later".  It's a great feature and I encourage all of you to check it out.  Most of the authors write children and YA books.  So it is a great resource to add diversity on your (and your kids) bookshelves.  

Now on to my February wrap up...

Sunday Delight: Doing It on Sunday

I decided to sit down on a Sunday (and not Saturday) to write my Sunday Delight.  Most of the time I do a week of post on Saturday's.  That is the only way I can blog, read, and keep up with my life.  LOL! I started doing Sunday Delight to highlight whatever I wanted from the previous week.  Mostly I am just giving you a glimpse of me, my reads and a few things going on around the blogiverse.  (Is that how you spell it?)

Here and Now

Time: 12:55 pm

Drinking: Protein Shake

Eating: Protein Shake (LOL)

Listening To: Zero 7 Radio on Pandora

Watching: This screen.  I am going to head over to my parents house later.  I am going to make them watch the premiere of The Resurrection tonight.  I heard about the book The Returned at BEA13 and I meet the author, as well as read the three prequels.  Now I need to read the book.
