Currently.... {I read  Jamie Morrow's  Currently every week and I always want to hop on board because it seems like such a fun way to keep you guys updated on the stuff going on in my life so here I am.} Loving... Hot coffee on a cold morning, there's nothing better and Mike makes me a coffee to go every morning before work so that I can enjoy it on the walk to drop off the kids. Reading... I am reading Ready Player One again in preparation for reading Armada. I know they are not exactly related like that but that's how I like to read. Watching... Still watching Sherlock Holmes but I have now added in Jane the Virgin and rewatching Doctor Who. Listening To... 90's workout playlists at the gym.  I find nothing more inspiring right now that the music I used to listing to. Thinking About... Wedding planning!  It's approaching much faster than I would like and we have so little done. :( Anticipating... Dinn...

Celebrate the Small Things is hosted by  Lexa Cain  along with wonderful co- hosts  Writing Off The Edge  and  The Cyborg Mom . This week I am celebrating the fact that we have a balcony now, I hate when the rain wakes me up but I love watching the storms. I am also celebrating the fact that we got the kids snowsuit purchases out of the way last weekend, I just heard we are in for flurries this weekend.  Eek! What are you celebrating this week?

When I was much younger than I am now, I loved nothing more that a good "spooky" story.  I spent many nights laying up in bed reading books that were designed to make your skin crawl and leave you with goose bumps. My personal favourite author for Young Adult Thrillers was and probably still is Christopher Pike.  Twenty years after reading his books some of them still stand out in my mind in perfect clarity.  The top one would be Remember Me. Something about Shari's story struck a chord with me that has echoed through the last twenty years, as any good book should I suppose. Sadly when I was a teenager I didn't hold on to as many books as I do now so I spend a lot of time hunting to replace the ones I really wish I had kept. (Sweet Valley High anyone?) I am giving away a $15 Amazon gift card in the hopes that you can use it to buy a book to be loved as much as I loved this one. a Rafflecopter giveaway This post is part of The Spooktacular Giveaw...
