And this week with Thanksgiving and all I put up another pretty lite week of posts:
Breaking Dawn Part II (I say “See It!!!”
Update with “the dogs”
The Language Of Flowers – Bookies Book Club Review and food!
I have posts to write, just havent got there yet 😀
This week I am working on:
In a Norman Rockwell town in North Carolina, where residents rarely lock homes, retired army colonel John Matherson teaches college, raises two daughters, and grieves the loss of his wife to cancer. When phones die and cars inexplicably stall, Grandma’s pre-computerized Edsel takes readers to a stunning scene on the car-littered interstate, on which 500 stranded strangers, some with guns, awaken John’s New Jersey street-smart instincts to get the family home and load the shotgun. Next morning, some townspeople realize that an electromagnetic pulse weapon has destroyed America’s power grid, and they proceed to set survival priorities. John’s list includes insulin for his type-one diabetic 12-year-old, candy bars, and sacks of ice. Deaths start with heart attacks and eventually escalate alarmingly. Food becomes scarce, and societal breakdown proceeds with inevitable violence; towns burn, and ex-servicemen recall “Korea in ’51” as military action by unlikely people becomes the norm in Forstchen’s sad, riveting cautionary tale, the premise of which Newt Gingrich’s foreword says is completely possible.
I have to pick up some more audio this week as the car is “audio free” and that’s just weird and my kitchen cd is empty too. I need some good audio!!! 😀
I am going to finish the books I have going before I post more 🙂

Hope you find some great audio books to listen to this week! I am currently listening to Christmas music on the radio in my car. Otherwise I usually have a Harry Potter audio book on.
LOVE Harry! I have listened to all the books last year and this past weekend my college son and I watched the movies 1 – 4. 😀
Off to read your Breaking Dawn review! I just came back from seeing it for a 2nd time – and this is coming from a non-Twilight fan 😉 It’s definitely one that needs to be seen in theatres.
I seem it twice too Alita!!! LOVED it!
A couple of audios that I recommend are Stay Close by Harlan Coben, Heartbroken by Lisa Unger, And When She Was Good by Laura Lippman as well as the “In Death” series. Have a great week Shelia.
Oh thank you Nise that is exactly what I needed – a little audio inspiration 🙂
I hope your search for the audio books is fruitful! enjoy.
Thanks Mysticam I got some good news from Penguin Audio today s that should help : )
The electricity being turned off seems to be a popular theme lately. Hope you have a great week.
Thanks Ryan – you too 🙂
Hope you have a great week….One Second After looks good.
And I notice today that we have winter here….cool!
Thanks Laurel, I will explain this winter themeTuesday morning 😉
I hate choosing audiobooks! I don’t know why it’s such an agonizing process for me, but it is. My library has a limited selection to download, so inevitably whatever I choose is unavailable. *That’s* what takes me so long. Enjoy your week!
It is for me too Jen – I really count on other reviewers when it comes to picking them 🙂
Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving week. I had lots of time to read and just kind of vegged out, instead of reading much. Oh well. Se la vi.
I used my time for movies and working on catching up on my challenges…. I should have read… 😀
Breaking Dawn Part 2 ROCKED!!! I cried, laughed, got mad, loved. And actually thought I was going to have a heart attack during one scene!!!
My favorite book this week was Envy by Sandra Brown! Have you read it??

Oh yeah to all of the above… I am actually contemplating a third time at the theater…
I had a pretty light week too, things have been so busy with the holiday! I’m going to take a peek at your Breaking Dawn review 🙂
Have you seen the movie yet Crystal?
It’s so weird that I can’t really get into audio books. It seems I can’t do anything else if I’m listening to a book. Yet I can multitask while reading a book and still get the story. Have a great week!
I have heard that before Earl from people… I cant sit and listen, but I can listen while cooking, cleaning, mowing…
I loved The Language of Flowers and Breaking Dawn 2 was *squee* Awesome!! Have you tried any Kristen Hannah on audio … brilliant! My faves are Winter Garden & Magic Hour. Have a great week and happy reading 🙂
I did listen to Winter Garden – but I have not tried Magic Hour… something to check out I think 🙂
No more audios? How do you survive! I hope you find some good ones soon.
I like your winter-style blog! Have a good week.
I still have the IPOD going 😀 Thanks for your help on color picks for the new layout 🙂
One Second After sounds so good, I hope you’re enjoying it, so I’m looking forward to your thoughts on it.
I hope you’ll get some good audio books 🙂
Happy reading/listening!
I am but it is also scary…. the beginning forward explains that this could really happen and is a very real danger.
Loving the Winter Edition of your blog 😀 definitely getting into the holiday spirit! Going to see BDP2 on Wednesday so won’t read your review yet! Sooo excited 😀
Thanks Fay – I am really liking it too… it is crisper 😀
Hope you get time to catch up on your posts. Such a busy time of the year.
It is but I am making progress…. I think 🙂 I mean look… I am even responding to comments! 😛
Hope you have a great week!
You too 🙂
GREAT POST….enjoy your reads and your week.

My It’s Monday!! What are You Reading?
Thank you – you as well 🙂
I’m catching up on picture books this week, but in my van, it’s The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There. I highly recommend it.
OOH I like the sound of that!
Haven’t done this meme in a while and probably willl post this today. It is a good way to plan the week.
YAY! I hope you do post!
I hope you find some good listening! I know sometimes I have to stop myself from starting new things and just concentrate on what I’m already in the middle of. A clean slate can be so refreshing. 🙂
I am used to listening to three at a time… my car is WAY too quiet 😛
No audio in your car? That is strange! I’m reading Collateral by Ellen Hopkins and listening to Elsewhere by Richard Russo and Where’d You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple. Have a great week, Sheila!
It is so strange! I keep wanting to turn it on… but its not there! I have some coming though 😀 You enjoy your week too.
I had a light week in posts and a small TBR list at the moment, too. Must be something about the holiday week throwing us off track!
Well the TBR is not small here, I need to get a movie on it 😀
Love the new seasonal look, Sheila! Maybe I will finally find some time for blog updates in 2013….lol
Hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend with your family!
Enjoy your books this week –
Sue
Thank you Sue, I appreciate that. 😀 I did have a wonderful Thanksgiving, hope you did as well.
Love the wintery look!
Thank you Carrie 😉
I came back around to report that I left 10 comments this week. That was fun!
Nice! I am going to get out there in a bit too 🙂
I watched Breaking Dawn Part 2 and was sooooo glad I didn’t read the book yet before watching the movie. I loved how unexpected it was even though it got me into a really crushed mood at one point! I might even watch the movie again. 🙂
By the way, I’m reading Party Frock by Noel Streatfeild, a book that I’m only now discovering.
Oh good! I had read the book first, quite a while ago and it still really impressed me.
You are really changing things up.
I am finally out visiting. Cyber Monday sucked me right in. lol
Happy Reading!!
I didn’t mean to chance things up, I got caught up in one things ans well… you know how it goes.
yup I do! and once we get started it’s hard to stop 🙂
I’m always impressed by how you juggle several audiobooks at once. I hope you find some great ones!
Thanks I hope so too!
Wished I had more time to read and post over Thanksgiving but I guess cooking and eating are great too. Love the snowflakes! Comments to 11 or 12 blogs this week.
Nice, I got in a few comments myself too 🙂
