Suddenly Sunday (Mar. 18) and Giveaway Winners!

Hosted by Svea from Muse in the Fog Book Book Reviews

Hello lovely Readers!  Hope this Sunday finds you all well and enjoying this gorgeous weather.  although truth be told, the crazy weather concerns me a bit.  Global warming and all, it just doesn't seem right.  Anyways, I also hope you had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day and your hangover isn't too bad.  I recommend a nice warm Irish coffee to set you to rights.  

Life in general is good, just crazy busy.  I have hardly posted in March but that can't be helped.  Trying to balance my work reading with my pleasure reading, and again that's always tough as well.  As for review copies, I think I'm just about at my year's limit.  I need to double check.  However, I have started telling people to take me off their lists.  No email offers, no me feeling bad saying no. With two exceptions, I am saying no to everyone.  I also started getting unsolicited books in the mail and I don't like that AT ALL.  I have enough to read, and some of what I have received are things I don't want to read, possibly at all.  Just annoying is all.

On the home front, Kona is doing fantastic.  We have upped our walks to 30 minutes each time, and I now consider her my fitness buddy.  Haven't been able to get to the gym, so i walk at lunch for 30 minutes and then when I come home from work with Kona.  This week I'm bringing back weights to my morning routine, and contacting a nutritionist.  I apologize for no Fitness Friday post this past week but my day job does come first unfortunately.  It pays the bills.  Hopefully the next Fitness Friday I'll have information from the nutritionist to share.

In reading news, I read that at the end of the month is Bloggiesta, and I am considering joining.  There are things I need to clean up on the blog or posts that need to typed, so that weekend would be a good time to do it.  Visit It's all About Books read the post and sign up if interested.

This week on the blog I have a review and tour stop for The King's Agent (LOVED it), and the author Donna Russo Morin with a guest post on Friday.  I may post an old lingering review in between those two, but that what's going on my blog this week.

What are you up to this week?  Any good books or events lately?  Hope life is going well for you :)



Last but not least I have winners from my giveaway of Shana Galen's book The Rogue Pirate's Bride.

Congratulations to Renee Brown and Stacybuckeye


I will be in touch to get your snail mail addresses.  Thanks to all who entered and I'm sorry I don't have copies for everyone.

That's it from me.  Hope your books are good and your week is fab!

No worries doll! I've been posting less too. It happens.

So glad to hear you and Kona are doing well! :)

I'm missing the cold weather already.

thanks Ju-Ju! Missing the cold? I'm guessing it's super warm where you are. If so that sucks because mentally and physically I don't think we're ready for that!
It's like highs of 80 this week! ;)
Wayyyy to warm!
Posting less is fine as long as you are happy! :)

I've been considering joining in Bloggiesta as well.

Got to be happy is key! I should be able to do something Bloggiesta weekend. Every little bit helps :)
Oh no, unsolicited? Why do they do that? Cos most never read them. They should send them to peeps who ask

I agree! Hate to break it to them, but those books will be sitting there for quite some time.
One of the things I love about the blogging community is that you can go AWOL for a while when life gets busy and your readers will be right there waiting for you when you come back! Bloggiesta is so much fun - I can't wait; it really seems to be the only time I set aside to make changes to my blog and to get things updated. And it's so great to have so many people who can help giving you a hand!

That is so true! I didn't mean to go AWOL for two weeks, it just happened. Bloggers and readers are the most forgiving bunch, I swear! I will try Bloggiesta this year. At least a little bit, but as much as I can.
I'm so glad to hear that Kona is doing well!! Poor little pup is so lucky to have such a loving and caring mama.

Weights. Ugh. Now that I'm more or less down to my pre-baby weight, it's time to get my muscles back into shape. Preferably before Hawaii. Ha! I'll look forward to hearing what news you have to share from the nutritionist!

Hope you have a beautiful week Jen! Not too stressful (and like you--I'm VERY concerned about the weather--it's getting downright scary here).

Thanks for the well wishes with the pup. I'll give her some belly rubs for you.

Hooray on getting back to pre-baby weight. I'm sure that had to be tough.

weights: start out with 5 lbs and go from there. I love how they make me feel so empowered. Like I can kick everybody's ass and I'm hot!

You have a beautiful and natural week as well. Texas always has crazy weather and I always have you folks in my thoughts.
I don't usually read unsolicited books, I did receive one in the mail the other day but the ones I receive regularly are usually ebooks so after a brief glance I hit the delete button ;)

I was hoping to do Bloggiesta this year but that weekend is going to be pretty full-on so guess I'll have to wait.

We had dramas with little Bella last week (check out my Monday post) she bit a bat and had to be vaccinated for lyssavirus (related to rabies.) Our furry family members sure keep us on our toes!!

Well done on all the walking and I'm really happy that Kona is doing so well. Puppy hugs xx
Yay for Kona! And for you since you now have a walking buddy. The weather is a little scary, right? I took Gage for a walk yesterday afternoon and I had to cut it short because it was just too hot. Thanks for choosing to get my pirate fix :)
