Happy Gay Friday & What I’m Reading and Awarded with

[image]

Looking back at the past week it’s not been a great week reading wise. I only finished one book, an anthology with three NASCAR related stories - Racing Hearts. I’m working on a quick review of the three stories by Vicki Lewis Thompson, Nancy Warren and Dorien Kelly, because I downloaded it from NetGalley and because I read it for the Contemporary Romance Challenge.

Yesterday I started reading Tigers and Devils by Sean Kennedy of which I was talking on Monday in my Sexy Smutty Scene post. It’s *gasp* over 600 pfd-pages and I haven’t even read 50, so I can’t tell anything about it yet.

This week has been a bit worrisome for me and hubby because our kitten (of 18 and a half years old) has been sneezing blood since Monday. The vet sent us home with antibiotics and wants to see him again next Monday and carefully mentioned the possibility of a tumor *gulp*. The little fellow is keeping us awake every night with his sneezing and rattling… Luckily, hubby is having a little vacation before he’s starting his new job March 1st, so he’s doing a lot of the nursing. But still, we’re both pretty tired because of the lack of sleep and the worries. Binny, is a very strong and tough kitty though and even with his diabetes and kidney disease he’s doing really great for his age. And he’s probably going to live for another 10 years! :)

And then blog wise, I’ve been a little lazy… I have been tagged three times for making my very own book boyfriend, a few weeks ago by Pixie from Pixie’s Ponderings, then by Leontine from Leontine’s Book Realm and this week by Miranda from Sweet Vernal Zephyr. Thank you very much ladies, I’m working on the post about my very own ménage of book boyfriends ;)

And I’m late about mentioning the wonderful blog awards I got.

The first is from Book Addict Patti and is called the Prolific Blogger Award. There are no rules to this one. Thanks so much Patti for thinking of me!

I’m passing this award on to a few bloggers that have become very dear to me and have wonderful, prolific blogs that I have to visit every day because I want to know how they are doing and what they are reading.

They are *and I’m taking a risk here with my sleep deprived brain that I forget one of you*, in no particular order:
Chris, Lily, Tam, Cecile, K.C., Mandi, Fiction Vixen, Kris, Blodeuedd, Eyre and Leontine.

Of course there are also Patti herself and Erotic Horizon who doesn’t accept awards anymore but whose blogs I visit daily too.

And I wish I could also mention individually all of the other bloggers that I visit at least every week and who all have great blogs and read wonderful books too. They can be found in my blogrolls.

Second is the Sugar Doll Award, given to me by Smutty Hussy Cecile from All I Want and More. Thanks so much, hon!

I am supposed to list 10 things about myself, then pass the award on to some other bloggers!
Okay, here it goes:

1. I have been together with my very own fantasy man since I was twenty years old

2. I love cats, especially my own black-haired Binny (and white-haired Nosy, who passed away)

3. I have lived all over the place because my dad was with the Airforce

4. I always turn my face to the sun so that shadows will fall behind me (figuratively)

5. ‘Hallelujah’ is one of my favorite songs

6. I love to travel, and have been to countries like New Zealand, Cuba, Morocco, India, 7 different states of the US, France, Germany, UK, Spain, Italy, Gambia, and made city trips to New York, Dublin, Prague, Sidney, Barcelona, Paris, San Francisco, Marrakech and Berlin.

7. I love my family and friends endlessly

8. In the next year or so me and hubby are probably gonna move to one of the four largest cities of our country because he took a job there at one of our country’s academic hospitals. I’m really proud of him (a smart and sexy man, what more does a girl want, right?)!

9. One of my favorite things to do since almost all my life is cuddle in a corner of the couch with a good book (what a surprise, huh?)

10. I love to go out of bed early on a Saturday morning, take my photo camera and go to the river and walk over the dike and through the polder. And take pictures of our beautiful country :)

Because I would love to learn a little bit more about them, I am passing this award along to the following ‘new’ (to me) bloggers:
Sayuri
Tracy
Pattepoilue
Sagi
Silver and her friends
Belly
Twimom
Rexrobotreviews

But I hope anyone else who feels the urge to share 10 things about themselves will do so too, either in a post at your own blog or in the comments section below.

Just let me know when your 10 things are posted, okay?


I’m sorry for the long post, I had to make up for some laziness and that’s never a good thing, lol!

Have a great weekend everyone!
