Across the Universe is still on my TBR stacks, maybe it'll get read in 2013 lol<br />Anyway have a good week and happy reading :)Teddyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553244883194436385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337591434347743479.post-90903476265401783072012-12-17T18:15:24.398-08:002012-12-17T18:15:24.398-08:00The gift thing is a holdover from when my own kids...The gift thing is a holdover from when my own kids wanted to get each other presents, but we were poor, so they either gave something of their's or ended up buying something very small for each other, with mom's help of course. ;)<br /><br />I continue it because I like for them to be able to think of someone besides themselves - to think about giving to their cousin (only the grandson has a sibling now, and he's a brandnew sibling - one week old today)Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063358136590143066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337591434347743479.post-14972107485715939932012-12-17T18:11:03.518-08:002012-12-17T18:11:03.518-08:00oh - yes, I've definitely had that other feeli...oh - yes, I've definitely had that other feeling - did I buy this or not? Then I decide to wait, and can't find it...but the next time I go to the store it seems so familiar that I'm sure I bought it...then I come home and it's not there. And then I have ended up with two copies of the same book. <br /><br />The worst is when a publisher re-releases a book with a different cover, making me think it's a new book. I've fallen for that before. Now I check the copyright date on the inside. Sneaky bastards, ;)Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063358136590143066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337591434347743479.post-83870142776556964292012-12-17T18:08:49.643-08:002012-12-17T18:08:49.643-08:00I've read about four chapters, and so far it&#...I've read about four chapters, and so far it's interesting. But then I also got ineterested in the other book - Blood and Feathers, so it's a toss up which one I'll end up finishing.<br /><br />Both cats are so tired and wasted looking. :)Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063358136590143066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337591434347743479.post-22567523867495188552012-12-17T16:31:48.925-08:002012-12-17T16:31:48.925-08:00I'm not a fan of Monday's either!

I love your that you buy gifts for grandkids to give to their mothers and siblings/family, that is so sweet.<br />I hope you find a book you can finish this week!<br /><br />Shelleyrae @ Book'd OutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337591434347743479.post-63109567389109254212012-12-17T12:26:14.278-08:002012-12-17T12:26:14.278-08:00Ha ha, I often have that feeling too - where, when...Ha ha, I often have that feeling too - where, when did I get this book? Or the other one, where you're in a bookshop and see an interesting book, then pause and wonder, wait, do I have this already? ;)<br /><br />I have a copy of Across the Universe too - I think you're right, it's like romance in space. I never know for sure until I've read a book, what genre it is.<br /><br />Love the cover of <i>Blood and Feathers</i>, and the little tidbit you shared makes me want to look into it more. Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a great week. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.giraffedays.com/?p=15243" rel="nofollow">Giraffe Days</a>Shannon (Giraffe Days)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00873129203015194947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337591434347743479.post-22278791715900520122012-12-17T10:18:11.745-08:002012-12-17T10:18:11.745-08:00Hi and Merry Christmas!
