I'm back after a great few days

So - my blogging has been kind of spotty the past couple of days. First of all Nath came and stayed with me and then we went to stay with Cindy for a couple of days. On Saturday we had a great day when we met with Lea of ClosetWriter and a Mary, a friend of hers who fit right in. It's always amazing how great it is to get together with other bloggers and fellow book lovers. We checked out a number of book stores over the past few days; first Nath and I here and then when we went to see Cindy. It was a great day and if you visit the others they have pictures. A warning though - I shudder at having my picture taken.

While I didn't get a lot of books at Chapters as I'm trying to hold out for Washington, I couldn't help getting a few:

In Bed with A Stranger by Mary Wine












Riding Wild by Jaci Burton











On the other hand, I went crazy in the UBS's. I ended up with 18! That's too many to put pics of all, but I did score on some good ones!

Outlaw's Bride by Maureen McKade!!

This is one I've been trying to find for a number of years now and was close to breaking down and ordering it on Amazon. Wendy should be pleased with this find! It's a Western!!








Captain of my Heart by Danelle Harmon

She isn't writing anymore but she had a wonderful series a number of years ago so I'm always on the lookout for her early books.

The great thing about these two is they are in almost perfect condition.








In Destiny's Arms by Christine Michels

I was excited to find this one. I have a soft spot for these early futuristics and I have one or two other books by this author.










It's been a wonderful few days and it's going to be a bit tough going back to regular life.

ETA

And I can't believe someone I forgot to mention!!! Ames, while not with us in person, was with us on camera. We had a number of video chats - and got to 'meet' her newest puppy - though she says it is her Mom's puppy. I think we know who the real owner will be ;-)

Weekend Update - no, not a Saturday Night Live Scit

So - Nath and I are here at Cindy's and 'talking' via Web Cam to Ames. It's a hectic evening as you can imagine - and well past my bedtime and not even close to Cindy's *g* Meanwhile I think Ames is 'chatting' with Holly. We have two computers going - my new laptop and Cindy's. Then there is Ames at the other end.

You may notice a few changes in the blog look - Ames and Nath have been playing with it.

We are all excited that tomorrow we will be meeting another blogger - Lea of the the kissing contests and Mary, a friend of hers. Laughter will ensue. Pictures will follow.
