Stacking the Shelves
I love Tynga's Reviews Stacking the Shelves so I borrowed it for my blog. I hit up my favorite used bookstores recently and hit the jackpot. I was able to get four books from my wishlist. First I picked up Chocolate-Covered-Murder by Leslie Meier. I love this mystery series and have been reading it for awhile. I really need to catch up. I also was able to get Fallen-Masters by John Edward. Yes that John Edward the TV psychic. I usually don't read much science fiction but this intrigued me. Next I picked up Waltz-Time by Eugenia Riley and If-Only-Dreams by Wendy Markham aka Wendy Corsi Staub. These two are both time travel romances which are a favorite genre of mine. I'll let you know how they are.
Product Spotlight: Beyonce Heat Perfume
I bought Beyonce Heat Perfume for 50% off the day after Christmas. I hadn't smelled it before I bought it but for $2,50 I could take a chance on it. I loved it. It is not too strong and the vanilla really comes through. It is a really good choice to wear to work since it is not too overpowering. This is a small bottle but even the bigger bottles are really affordable. Let me know what you think of this scent and any others you love. I provided the link to purchase above and again below.

Book Survey
Do
you remember how you developed a love for reading?
Both of my parents are huge readers so I am sure it came from them. My earliest memories are of reading the Little house series and falling in love with them. I also really loved the Trixie Belden mysteries.

The Killer Angels by Shaara for school and the Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. I am also reading Demi Lovato’s new book.
