Welcome to the fourth edition of This & That. What's that you say? Well it's a little of this and a little of that. Who's Us? That's exactly the point of This & That. Do you know anything about the Reviewer here? Or who is that person(s) you're talking to on Facebook and Twitter? You're about to!
Hello Bookies!
I hope everyone has had a fantastic week and weekend so far!
Today, September 11th, is a day in which I believe we should all be thankful. Thankful that we are still alive and breathing. Thankful for the friends and family and all of the blessings that have been given to us.
I've always been a firm believer in that no matter how bad things may be someone else has it worse. And nothing could be a better example of this that this very day. A day in which so many lives were lost, so many lives were changed. So much damage done and so much power created from it. The power of unity. The power of human kindness. The power of love.
In all the many things I am thankful for I am extremely thankful for the opportunities that this blog as presented and the friends I have made through it.
I thank you all for coming here day after day. For sending your books so that I may have the pleasure of reading them. For trusting in the Reviews provided to help guide you towards a new selection for your personal Library. For the help and support from other bloggers and authors. You all are so amazing!
Thank you for giving me something else in life to look forward to!
Until next week Ladies and Gents: Be Safe - No Paper Cuts!
Hello!
I hope everyone had a nice short week! I know I pinky swore last week happier posts. This one is happy but I do need to address something before we move to the happiness!
Today is the 10th anniversary of 09/11. We all know how devastating that was and even to this day we are still feeling the effects of the tragedy. This is exactly where the terrorists want us; to feel scared, economy at rock bottom and disbanded Americans. Let’s try to all keep together as a country and stand proud! To the men and women who lost their lives that day...to the everyday heroes...to the fire, police and military…thank you doesn’t even do justice. We will never forget you!
I love music as much as I love books! And like books...I love ALL kinds of music. So, this probably won’t be the first post about music!
80’s- Madonna...MJ...Pet Shop Boys...NKOTB... and my 80’s hair bands...Bon Jovi...Poison...Def Leppard...Motley Crue.

But, I also have some guilty pleasure music! You know songs/artists that you love to sing along with and when you tell people you love them...they look at you like OMG really? And as a side note...I have more songs from these artists that I love...these are just the songs that came to mind...
