Riddle me this…

Ok, I’m new at the whole book blogging thing, but I have a question. And I’ll try not to sound like an ass. But please believe me, I’m asking out of total curiosity, no malice at all.

What’s the draw of reading YA novels?

It seems that like 80% of all book bloggers blog about the newest and greatest YA book. Is it because you don’t like “adult” novels? I don’t understand what’s so great about them. Or do you just read them to fly through your GoodReads reading challenge?

Again, I’m not trying to disparage or insult the books you read, just simply curious.

I wanna really really, really wanna zigazig ah

So here’s how my morning has gone so far. Alarm goes off, I get up. In the process of making my bed I knock stuff all over the place. Clean that up. Make coffee. I forgot the coffee. I successfully made hot water this morning.

Happy Saturday!

Yep, I have a day off. I needed it. It felt like such a long week. I was really watching the clock the last hour and a half. I just wanted to get the heck out, and start the weekend.

Well, it’s here. Now what?

I think I am going to try and schedule some more bookish posts. I want to read at least one of the two books I have going. I’ve let that slide and I’m disappointed in myself. I’ll try to read either today, Sunday or Monday. Maybe I’ll read a little all three days.

So, I hope all y’all have a great weekend! Catch ya later!

First line Friday

So jumping right into it, last weeks book was….

Wait for it….

Did you guess it?

It was Sphere by Michael Crichton.

Good job if you guessed it! On to this weeks:

It happened every year, was almost a ritual. And this was his eighty-second birthday. When, as usual, the flower was delivered, he took off the wrapping paper and then picked up the telephone to call Detective Superintendent Morell who, when he retired, had moved to Lake Siljan in Dalarna.

Have you guessed it? Answer below!

You got this!

Turn on your receiver – there’s a message coming through

TGIF am I right? Holla!

I took the blame, because it was my fault. I forgot to advertise that we were once again open until 8. In my defence, it was a crazy morning, and I totally forgot about it until 5 l, when I was going for dinner. It was steady, but not busy like last week. That’s ok.

One more day. One more day, and it’s the weekend. We can make it! I know we can! Nose to the grindstone. Put your back in to it. Etc, etc.

This is some damn fine coffee.

Oh! I have to say I’m a little disappointed and relieved that I can’t find A Recipe for Seduction on TV. I kind of want to see it, but part of me is pretty scared to see it.

So New Girl at work decided we needed to be “introduced” on the companies Facebook. There was a tease, and then reveal. Since it was her idea, she of course went first. Then had to chase me down to get my picture. Here’s my teaser picture. It was my idea to have the book, and have it upside down. What can I say, I’m quirky.

Happy Friyay erryone!

So you shakin that thang like who’s the ish

Good morning my lovelies. I trust everyone is doing ok this morning. So it rained all afternoon, and then it snowed last night. I’m sure the roads are going to be deadly. Thankfully, I walk to work. I just have to worry about busting my ass!

Excuse me for a moment. I need some coffee.

Two more days of work. And i think the accountant will be in today, because it’s time for her to do payroll! Time simply flies when you’re having fun.

But it’s gonna be a good day today. Wait shit. It’s Thursday, right? We’re open until 8 tonight. The last shop til you drop is tonight. Long day, but it’ll be a good pay check.

Happy Thursday y’all. I love you very much.
