Ok - lets try again ... It's still cold outside and my office building is still struggling to maintain a decent temperature inside but here I am with my warmest sweater. It's kinda silly that for all the doom and gloom predicted we barely got a lick of it; just enough wind to mess with the pilot light again and again.
I haven't thought too much yet about how to structure this linky party. I don't even have a name so I am looking for suggestions. I also know we all have our favorite linky parties and a lot are probably at the beginning or end of the month, Would it be better for y'all to be on, say, the first Tuesday or is a specific date (say the 5th) better? Just let me know in the comments and when I have two seconds I'll make a decision.
As I posted last week, I've set 2 reading challenges for myself and you can always find out where I stand with those challenges by checking the reading page on my blog. Challenge #1 is to read 9 books that have colors in the titles and Challenge #2 is to read books with titles that spell out the 12 months of the year. I'm not much for writing book reviews but I would be happy to answer questions anyone has on books or authors. I stick mostly to mysteries and a lot of times to the same authors/series but as my librarian will tell you - I'll try almost anything :^)
Here is my progress so far this year:
Heat Lightening by John Sanford (1/4/14)
Cuckoo's Calling by Galbraith (half done)
Ok, now it's your turn to share - did you pick a reading challenge for yourself? Have you finished a book lately? Even if it's a magazine or quilt book I would love to hear about it because you know I am going to need lots of suggestions this year! Don't have a post to share? List your current book in the comments below. I'm looking forward to seeing the books y'all read!

Okay -- I'll have to incorporate this into tomorrow's post and link up! As far as a day/date, I prefer a day vs. date (first Tuesday, for example). That being said, I'm flexible!
Hey -- the yardsale tab caught my eye again. When I clicked over and saw the hexagon template, I had to ask--why don't you use this? I saw one at Patches the other day and almost got it. Glad I waited -- you, the Mistress of Hexies, surely has insight?! :)
I'm glad to know you haven't frozen..........
I couldn't imagine driving in snow.
I'm glad you are safe.
The weather has been terrible everywhere.
I must be climatized to the weather in Darwin because I was cold back home for my little visit.
And it was around 20 degrees give or take a couple degrees........mum told me I was a wimp.
I should keep a tally of all the books I read......it would be interesting to know how many I actually read.
Love your mystery blocks too.......
I'm excited about this and hope it catches on Sarah! I'd have to chose books as my favorite thing over quilting... tough choice.
Im a hexi fan and a fiffle n faffer patchworker and I read a great deal too.
I like thrillers best of all and finished The Last Oracle by James Rollins recently which was an interesting tour through Roma history ( who knew where they came from!) and the Russian hidden cities in the Urals and a tale of abusing autistic gifts.
And then, you are amazed by what the end credits tell you!
