I am back from Spring Break and other than the chance of snow tomorrow things are looking up.

Someday I will get back to posting more than just my updates. Obviously last week was not that week. And this week was not much better.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!
Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Andrew stands close to the doll and says, “Hello, Sally. I declare myself to be Andrew Ranulf Blankenship, son of George Blankenship, grandson of Charles Thaddeus Blankenship, and I am the true owner of this house and these books.”
The doll kicks her feet now to start herself gently swinging.
Someday I will get back to posting more than just my updates. Obviously last week was not that week.

Reminder how I was hoping 2014 was going to be a better year for reading. Sigh. It is not looking good. But I am still hopeful. Maybe it is that I picked to chunksters to begin the year.

2014, I had such high hopes for you, but by day 17 I was ready to kick you to the curb and bring on 2015. By day 20 if it didn’t mean I would miss out on a whole lot and The Girl would get her learner’s permit, 2015 would have been looking super attractive. Seriously, 2014 what did I ever do to you?

Yesterday I posted that I was going to do the Steampunk’d Challenge (again!) , but that the linkage was not yet up. That is because the lovely Bonnie over at Bookish Ardour was busy vacationing. Lucky, lucky duck! She is, now, back and all of her challenge links are live.
In addition, I had written to her asking if I could use her prompts for BA’s Posting Challenge for Book Bloggers for a personal challenge and her badge as well and she most graciously has allow me to do this. So I will be using these to kick start my Thoughts on a Thursday feature with credit to her every time.
I love generous Book Bloggers!

2014 READING OUTSIDE THE BOX READING CHALLENGEI’m a little Scared: 3-4 categories Classics are the new black – read a classic novel
It’s a serial thing – you’ve read the first in a series (or even three of them), it’s time to read another!
Lost in translation – time to read a book that was first written in another language and then translated.
It’s about time! – read a book that has been sitting on your shelf for at least two years! (and haven’t read it yet!)
By the numbers – read a book with a Number in the title
Weird Science! – read a book that features some form of science – and maybe discover an untapped passion.
I just love a good Duet – a book written by more than one author.
New Guy in Town – read a Debut book written by a new author.
Almost Human – read a book from the perspective of an animal – or an alien – or a robot! (at least feature an ‘almost human’)
Chunkster-time! – read a book that is longer 500 pages. (Time to dust off War and Peace)
Random Rescue – go to a used book store and RANDOMLY pick a book! (could even be from a grab-bag)
Under-Aged Writer – read a book by an author who is not yet 21. Here’s a little help.
Time for exercise – read a book that is set in or around a sport or exercise activity (like yoga or baseball). This can be fiction or nonfiction!
Make-Believe - This category is just for YOU! (and anyone who wants to try it!) Here is your chance to let others know what would get you outside of your Comfort Zone!
