EYM & Top Ten Tuesday

EYM – Last three weeks
 
June 9-13: Use ONE adjective to describe yourself.
Steadfast
 
June 16-20: What the scariest movie you’ve watched or book you’ve read that made you unable to sleep?
Recently - The Conjuring – Yeah, that movie had me swearing at the TV and hiding behind my fingers!!
Before The Conjuring, the only other movie that wigged my ass out was The Fourth Kind – still the scariest movie I have ever seen, and trust me, I have watched A LOT of frightening, blood thirsty, horror fest movies in my life time. The Forth Kind made my husband and I sleep with the lights – no shit!! Aliens *shiver*
 
June 23-27: What’s the last book you read? If you want, please give a small review for us. How many stars, etc etc.
The last book I read (finished audiobook yesterday) was Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness. It only took me about 2 months to finish it cause, like the first book – Discovery of WitchesShadow of Night started off SO slow. However, I was hooked about ½ way thru!! It finished really well. If you are a history fanatic and love reading Elizabethan literature with witches, vamp and demons – this series is for you! WARNING – lots and lots of historian filler, very descriptive!! It even brings real life 16th century Elizabethans to life! ß Very interesting!

EYM - Last One in May & June


May 26-30: Which AtoZ post and/or blogger did you really enjoy this year?

 

This might sound a little bias but I really enjoyed doing Cover Girls AtoZ theme. Every year Jax and I take turns picking out 26 different novel covers – no repeats, that we find appealing in our own ways. I chose 13 and Jax selects 13. It’s first come first serve on our alphabet chart. Sometimes we take each other’s letter of choice and sometimes we even pick the same title the other one was thinking about. Then we each give a short expression of what we love about it. Not only is it fun but also very informational! I get to find out what and why Jax handpicks the books she does and I get to find out what she thinks about the novels I selected.

 

June 2-9: Any fave video games? Not a gamer, then what are your top board games, cards, etc you enjoy?

 

I like playing Mario Cart (or anything Mario) on Wii and I enjoy playing Liars Dice and several app games. But my favorite thing to do and watch the kids or my honey play video games cause they are so entertaining to watch.
