Apology

For 3 weeks now we have been having issues with our DSL service. We are hoping/planning to switch to cable internet (and therefore, providers) this week. That should alleviate much of the issues with our connection.

I'm going to postpone the start of Summer Reading until... July 7th. That should give those participating enough time to get a copy of [insert your own personal drum roll effect] A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines.

Feel free to e-mail me at anytime: kylee [dot] books [at] gmail [dot] com It may take me a couple of days to access and respond to your e-mail (until our provider issues are resolved), but I WILL e-mail you back. =)

Game

I found this game at Reading Adventures. It looked fun so I gave it a go. It took longer than I though, but it was fun!



The concept:

a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first page, pick an image.
c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd's mosaic maker. {Since there are 12 ?s I did a 3x4 like Marg did.}

The Questions:

1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. Favorite drink?
7. Dream vacation?
8. Favorite dessert?
9. What you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. One Word to describe you.
12. Your flickr name

Vacation!

Matt and I have been together for 3 1/2 years and haven't once taken a vacation; not even as a family. Thursday morning (early morning.... 5 o'clock in the morning!) the four of us (Matt, me and the girls) are going get into the car for a 5 1/2 hour drive to my mom and step-dad's house in Maine. I cannot wait. I have all these visions in my head of hanging out reading, peace and quiet. I'm sure it won't happen quite the way I see it in my head, but a girl can dream.

Those of you on my Notify Me list will not be getting an update e-mail this Friday. There isn't anything to update. =)

I posted my review of Meg Waite Clayton's The Wednesday Sisters earlier today. I was planning on offering the ARC as a raffle, but (due to an unobservant delivery man) it was left where it could get wet and it did. So, I'm planning on waiting until it comes out and buy a copy to raffle off.

I got my ARC of Farworld: Water Keep by J Scott Savage yesterday and I'm SO excited!

Back Monday!
