Finally! Look What I Got!!



Just kidding! Don't I wish, but I got some just as good.




I am such a happy camper, got my net back and a new toy and boy, have I been using it too. Not just for reading, for tweeting, even able to im . This rocks! I am so in love with this thing it is hard to put it down.

And all those free books on there, I have a feeling it won't take me long to fill this up LOL.

I just have to get a cover which I will do next month, but it seems everyone is naming their kindle so anyone have an idea what I could name this lovely beauty??

Happy Father's Day!

My Father, My Guiding Light

Dad, you're like the sun to me,
a sure thing, always there,
beaming light and warmth on my life.
Whatever is good in me today,
I owe to your wisdom, your patience,
your strength, your love.
You taught me by example,
as a role model,
how to be my own person,
how to believe in myself,
instructing me without controlling me.
Even when we disagreed,
you held us together,
so our bond was never broken.
I understand what you did for me,
and I am so grateful that I have you
as my solid foundation, my rock.
I respect you, I admire you, I love you,
my guiding light, my father.

To all the father's out there,  Hope you have the Happiest of Father's Days , enjoy the time with your children each and every day!

New Look

What do you think? I thought a change was in order since we were gone for so long. I would love to go with a Custom Design, but i have to save up for it, so in the mean time this will be our new look. Do you love it or hate it ? Be honest I can handle it...

BLH is back !!

I am finally back for good, have a lot to catch up on but, hopefully there will be regular posts starting this week. Sorry for the delay but I had such computer internet issues I could barely sign on to my email. And that's no joke. Look for some exciting things to come, like a new look and plenty of reviews, giveaways and much much more. I hadn't forgotten about the Bday giveaway, I still need to draw a winner for that so stay tuned. Again I apologize for the lengthy absence.

Teaser Tuesday April 10, 2012

Hi folks! Kelly here. This is my first meme in such a long time, I've almost forgotten how to do them. So here we are with a Teaser Tuesday. In case you've forgotten like me, here's what its all about.
___________________________
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
____________________________

So with that said, I'm grabbing my book. I'm currently reading 11/22/63 on a group read from our Book Lover's Hideaway Goodreads message boards. We have so much fun reading and commenting. It really brings us together. I love it and I love the girls on our boards. We have the best time. If you aren't over there joining in with us, you are sincerely missing out. ANYWAY, So that's what I'm reading. Since I'm reading it on my Nook, it's sort of hard to just randomly pick a page, but, I did pick a comment that made me smile and I'll share the sentences surrounding that comment for my Teaser. HERE we go!



"Well, good luck to you. This town isn't as bad as it was--last July, folks were strung as tight as Doris Day's chastity belt--but it's still a long way from right."

11/22/63 by Stephen King, Page 122 (Nook EReader version)

I hope everyone is having a good week. We are supposed to have a cold, rainy day tomorrow so I am making home made chili and corn bread. Can you say Yummmmmmmmmmmm????!?!?!?!?!!!

REINVENTION - WE'RE BAAAAAAAAAACK!


Hello loyal friends and followers! It's been a sudden and long several months since either one of us (Donna or Kelly) have been able to post. Life has seriously come between us and our computers but, that's ending and we are going to be working hard to make Book Lover's Hideaway one of THE best blogs in the book world. Stand by and watch a blog transformation. Stand by and read daily posts by Donna and/or Kelly. We'll be back reading the books you want to know about and we'll be sharing them all just like we used to. We're getting there so be patient. In the meantime, we'll be back posting some memes and some reviews, and soon, we'll have a grand re-opening with prizes and games and well, we'll definitely have some sort of crazy celebration!

Speaking of celebrations, Donna hosted a birthday game a while back and thats when everything became too difficult to keep up with. But we WILL draw a winner and post that winner's lucky name SOON. Very soon. Stand by for that too!

So in short, we are both very sorry we had to abandon things like we did, but we are safe and sound and BACK. We hope you continue to follow us and share with us your thoughts and comments. We love hearing from you. In fact, if you have any ideas or thoughts on things you might like to see here, please let us know. We'd love your input.

We both hope that you keep watching and following our posts and our blog and we will reinvent Book Lover's Hideaway and make it something spectacular!

Donna and Kelly
