Teaser Tuesday and Awards

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Miz B at Should be Reading and asks you to :

1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a random page
3 . Share 2 "teaser"sentences also citing the title of the book and the author and in that way people can have great recommendations if they like the "teaser.
4. Please avoid spoilers!


This weeks teaser is from The Wives of Henry Oades by Johanna Moran, page 194.

"Henry stood too, his confounded gaze fixed high above the heads of both wives. His son was nearly a man. His baby was a little girl he shouldn't know, but somehow did."

Next up are two awards I received.




I received The Prolific Blogger Award from Laura at Library Of Clean Reads. Thank you Laura for thinking of me! I have received this one before so I am just posting my link to that post here.



Next up is the I'm Going Places Award which I received from Joyful Journey.

This award means `Your really going places baby`.

The rules are:
- link back to the blogger who sent me this award
- post where I would like to be in 10 years
- pass it on to 10 awesome bloggers

In ten years I hope to have all the books in my TBR stash read, lol! Boy, the family would love that one! They are taking over the house!

As far as passing these awards on I am passing them on to you! If you are reading this post, these awards are for you! I hate the thought of anyone feeling left out! Feel free to post them on your blog and pass them on. Thank you so much to Laura and Joyful! Be sure to visit their blogs too as they are both great!

Honest Scrap Award

I received this award from Marce over at Tea Time with Marce. This is my first award! Thank you to Marce for thinking of me and honoring me with this award.

On to the rules.. I am to list 10 honest things about myself and then pass the award on to 7 blogs. Okay here goes...

1. I am deathly afraid of heights! Looking over a railing gives me the queasies!

2. I am a reality show junkie...I love Survivor and The Amazing Race! I can't get enough of these shows. I could never be on one of these shows because of the scared of heights thing but I love to watch others doing things I could never do.

3. My favorite ice cream flavor is French Vanilla.

4. I have more books in my library than I will probably ever be able to read in my lifetime. You don't need a number here, just think hundreds! Yes I need Readers Anonymous!

5. I love dark chocolate. (I hear it's good for you too so I can eats lots of it-right?)

6. I am a morning person and not a night owl. I can stay up late however if I am reading one of those books you just can't put down.

7. I love to sew, crochet and knit but I'm not very good at any them but enjoy it anyway.

8. My first favorite book as a child was The Trolley Car Family by Eleanor Lowenton Clymer. I recently ran across a copy at a thrift store and had to snag it.

9. I love peanut butter and chipped beef sandwiches(feel free to say eewww here!) It was a childhood invention that stuck with me.

10. I cry watching animal movies or shows. Growing up the theme song from Lassie made me cry. I know I am a wimp!
