    Seriespalooza Kickoff!

    seriespalooza

    When Michelle from Galleysmith mentioned she was going to host a Seriespalooza, I knew I had to sign up!  For this week starting today  December 14 through December 20 (Sunday at midnight EST) Seriespalooza will be in full effect.  How does it work?  Well, participants will read only books in a series they are either currently reading or are wanting to start. It’s a relaxed affair where you can read at your leisure so there isn’t any pressure. It’s just a great excuse to dip into the pile of books you want to read instead.

    I don’t know about you, but I’m “involved” in at least 7 series currently, so this event is just perfect!  This week, I will be focusing on the following books:

    Die Trying by Lee Child (audio)-the second in the Jack Reacher series
    Tripwire (Jack Reacher, No. 3) by Lee Child (audio)-the third in the Jack Reacher series.
    The Girl On Legare Street (Tradd Street) by Karen White-the second in the Tradd Street series (ok, so there are only two books in this series, but I’m participating in a tour for this book so I HAVE to finish reading it!)

    Interested in participating? Just comment on this post over at Galleysmith!

    Virtual Advent Post: My Favorite Christmas Memory

    Photobucket
    Christmas has always held a special meaning in my heart. This time of year brings up feelings of love, family, and togetherness.

    One of my favorite Christmas memories took place eight years ago, on December 18, 2001. My wedding day!

    That day started off with John and I heading to the courthouse to get our marriage license. While we waited our turn, we spent our time working on our Christmas cards. The first time I wrote my married name was when I signed our Christmas cards.

    That evening, we were married in our home, in front of our Christmas tree. We had only two guests, two of our closest friends who served as witnesses. Oh, I can’t forget our oldest, John III, who was only two years old at the time.

    It wasn’t a big celebration with tons of guests and mountains of presents, but it was OUR celebration :)

    So, not only am I celebrating the spirit of Christmas around this time of year, but I’m also celebrating the anniversary of my wedding! So, Happy Anniversary, John! I love you!
