Personally, I don't think we have enough space in the living room.nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055517804410962340.post-80677574073849835032009-12-30T21:55:11.242-07:002009-12-30T21:55:11.242-07:00Christine ~ Yes!

I do remember reading a bunch of really good reviews for it when it came out – I think that was last summer maybe? I finally made it to Borders and use the Bonus Bucks to get Sarah Mayberry’s newest at $4.99 so it was free! <br /><br />The TV – I have a feeling we’ll get the 55 inch. LOL dh is suppose to be off all weekend so I’m thinking a trip to Best Buy and Sam’s will be in the schedule. The fact that we’ll all enjoy it and if it goes on the wall I think it will, I’ll be able to see it from the kitchen. :)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055116610295076439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055517804410962340.post-1135185355450811002009-12-30T18:20:52.282-07:002009-12-30T18:20:52.282-07:00I did well with my book shopping!!

I have been wanting to read that for probably close to a year now, so I was excited to see it on the shelf. <br /><br />If I may add my two cents regarding the television... I have to agree with your husband and say go as big as you can!! We have a huge screen (150") because we have a HD home theater type projector. It was expensive, but not as much as you might think. Probably very comparable to the amount you'd pay for a 50" HD flat screen. The downside to the projector is that you need to have the room dark for the best picture, so during the day, we have to pull dark drapes over the windows. But we don't watch much tv during the day so it's not that big of an issue for us. Anyway, I hope you get something BIG! You'll love it.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055517804410962340.post-12483111791508966642009-12-29T17:05:50.539-07:002009-12-29T17:05:50.539-07:00Christine ~ Hope you had good luck at Borders.

I’ve got Naughton’s first two books on the tbr pile because of Kristie, just need to read them. :D <br /><br />So far the all the challenges I plan to join will help me reduce the tbr pile so technically I don’t have to buy any new books. Not that that will stop me. :)<br /><br />nath ~ the last time was three years ago and my sister didn’t make it that year. Before that it’s been at least 15 years since we were all together. <br /><br />Thanks – the boys were thrilled with their video games and even happy with the books I got them. :D <br /><br />The TV keeps growing. LOL The ones we have are 27 inches so I thought a 42 or 46 inch would be good. That’s a big different right? But he says “We should get as big as we can.” He’s looking at 55 inches! I’ll have to rearrange the furniture but he's been working so hard and everyone will get to enjoy it. The kids (big and little)will love playing their Wii games on it!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055116610295076439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055517804410962340.post-31012016326503001672009-12-29T15:24:32.532-07:002009-12-29T15:24:32.532-07:00Oh, by the way, how big is the TV your husband is ...Oh, by the way, how big is the TV your husband is going to buy? :Pnathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055517804410962340.post-12655947468812423312009-12-29T15:24:14.948-07:002009-12-29T15:24:14.948-07:00Wow, talk about a family gathering!!

I'm planning on going to Borders in just a few minutes actually. <br /><br />I'm getting <i>Shades of Midnight</i> by Lara Adrian but am hoping that <i>Proof of Seduction</i> by Courtney Milan is there... and maybe even <i>Stolen Seduction</i> by Elisabeth Naughton. I'm probably pushing my luck... <br /><br />I need to get organized with my challenges too. Make some lists, make some posts... I joined quite a few for 2010. Which is funny since I failed very badly at the four I joined for 2009.

Whirlwind describes it perfectly!<br /><br />Good to hear you’re enjoying <i>Wild Heart</i>, I’ve got that on the tbr pile. And if you’re a Borders rewards member you should have gotten an email with a bonus $5 Borders bucks. I’m going to use mine for Sarah Mayberry’s newest. <i>Shades of Midnight</i> should arrive in the mail next week. :)<br /><br />I need to get organized and start thinking about next years challenges. :)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055116610295076439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055517804410962340.post-28078568839003521922009-12-28T13:49:00.133-07:002009-12-28T13:49:00.133-07:00Leslie, it sounds like you had such an amazing Chr...Leslie, it sounds like you had such an amazing Christmas... a bit of a whirlwind, but very lovely. I think it's so wonderful that your family travels so far to be together for Christmas. <br /><br />I haven't read much in the last week or so either. I got about 80 pages into <i>Wild Heart</i> by Lori Brighton and I'm enjoying it very much, but decided to hold off to read it in January for one of the too many challenges I joined for 2010! LOL! Instead I picked up <i>Three to Get Deadly</i> by Janet Evanovich... the third Stephanie Plum novel. It'll probably be my last read of 2009. <br /><br /><i>Shades of Midnight</i> is on my list of books to buy this week, too! Maybe I'll treat myself to a trip to Borders tomorrow... I think I've got a $5 coupon somewhere and a few dollars left on a gift card. Score! ;) <br /><br />Enjoy the holiday week with your family.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055517804410962340.post-78337021090010495132009-12-28T12:41:48.850-07:002009-12-28T12:41:48.850-07:00Hils ~ So you're just starting the In Death se...Hils ~ So you're just starting the In Death series? It's one of my favorites - definitely top 5. And I need to get Mayberry's newest. Hope to get to Borders tomorrow.<br /><br />CJ ~ I'm a little afraid of Walmart this time of year.

I had a similar weekend.. no time to breath, almost!:)<br /><br />Of course, I did get to the bookstore the day after Christmas with my trusty Gift Certs... I got the latest Mayberry, which was out already and I finished reading it too, lol! I got a few more books too. :) Naked in Death by J.D. Robb... (I rec'd the other 5 in the series from my book sharing buddy), A Matter of Class by Mary Balogh *g* & some books in Spanish I want to read. :)Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.com
