I want to thank all of you that sent us happy thoughts, well wishes and prayers while we went through Hurricane Sandy. My little family and I have been extremely blessed! Being right in the middle of Long Island had its benefits, we didn't even lose power. It was so odd to see everything unfold on TV all of the mess and destruction that surrounds us. We still cannot believe how very lucky we are when people within an arms length away have lost so much. We are currently experiencing a gas shortage, which is unbelievable to me. I see the lines and everyone's panic, but it seems unreal...
We are truly thankful and have been continuously counting our blessings. We are staying home until it is completely safe to get gas and venture out. Having all of these books to help us, especially my boys, get through our days have been wonderful...

So, so glad you're all right after Sandy, Margie! I was thinking about you while watching the news. We were really lucky too...we were supposed to get really bad backlash from the storm, but it pretty much blew right over us. A lot of the surrounding areas got hit pretty bad though, so I feel a lot like you do! You got a ton of fantastic books. Thanks so much for the shout-out, I hope you enjoy The Game Changer! :-)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Juliet Immortal and The Peculiars looks so good! I can't wait to read that one! I hope you enjoy all you got :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my STS!
I got Splintered a few weeks ago. I haven't read it yet though. I hope it's good.
ReplyDeleteHere's My Shelf.
I'm so glad you and your boys are doing okay! It looks like you got a lot of good books to keep you distracted. Juliet Immortal is awesome. Stay safe <3
ReplyDeleteI have a copy of Splintered and I'm so tempted to just throw everything else aside and read it. I looks amazing and I'm already hearing great things about it. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteOld follower, but new on Linky and GFC! Here is my STS
So glad that you and your family made it thru safely Margie! I'm on the Jersey Shore and it is pretty devastating here but I know how lucky that I am...6 days of no power is nothing compared to whole neighborhoods near me that were washed away.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new books and thanks for stopping by my Added to the Bookshelf post!
