First of all sorry about the Delay in getting this up. My little Girl Leah hasn't really been feeling well for the last few days and she was up this morning before 3 AM and didn't go back to sleep till after 6 and I had to rock her then and she'd wake up every time I left her side. I had once thought of calling into work but,decided against it. So,its been one long day. I fought taking a nap all day. I got home and Leah was over at the Next Door Neighbors with Diane and she ran to the truck And I let her in and I drive up the driveway with her in the truck. Well,She ran around the house and we played on the swing set for awhile. I guess we played for 30 mins then we came into the house and she threw a huge fit cause we came back in. I cleaned my bedroom up and done a load of Laundry and gave Leah a Bath. So,thats my busy day! It's been hectic to say the least. I work in Home Health and My Patients RESP hours rollover 2 weeks from tomorrow so my hours are gonna be cut back but,I truly don't mind since the hubby went back to work this past week. So please understand I work till 5 right now and with a little one my days seem pretty much shot once I get home. I used an Online Random Number Generator and I chose 5 Numbers There was 8 enteries between both of my blogs Boo Bear's Place and Boo's Place I think thats pretty good considering that I'm fairly new to the blogging world. I gave everyone a number based on the comments. So,if you commented 1st you where number 1.But,if anyone is interested in letting other people here have a chance to read the book just let me know and maybe we can do some book swapping because I know I would love to read the book. The Winners Are:

Shoot the Moon by B. Letts

I have 5 Copies of the Book "Shoot the Moon" by Billie Letts to giveaway. I've not gotten the chance to read the book but,I love Billies books. I've got a few on my shelf I need to get read. I don't know much about this book so thought I would give you a few reviews from other sites that have reviewed it.

From AudioFile
In 1972, in DeClare, Oklahoma, 10-month-old Nicky Jack Harjo disappears when his single mother is murdered. Thirty years later Mark Albright, Californian veterinarian to the stars, having just learned he was adopted, arrives in DeClare, looking for an explanation from the mother who gave him away. His search for answers to the past turns into a mission of justice for his murdered mother and an explanation of his own mysterious adoption in California. Although the murderer's identity is obvious early, Kathe Mazur's easy-on-the-ears voice makes the story an enjoyable companion on a long road trip. She uses nuances in her voice to move between past and present, giving us a sense of the story's characters, culture, and community.

From Booklist
A man's desperate search for his identity drives this riveting offering from the author of best-sellers Where the Heart Is (1995) and The Honk and Holler Opening Soon (1998). No one in sleepy DeClare, Oklahoma, has forgotten the 1972 murder of pretty Cherokee Gaylene Harjo and the abduction of her infant son, Nicky Jack. Hard-nosed deputy sheriff Oliver "O Boy" Daniels pinned the blame on local preacher Joe Dawson, but few in town believed the kindly Joe was capable of such an act. Powerful emotions resurface 30 years later, when Nicky Jack, adopted and raised by a rich couple in Beverly Hills, mysteriously reappears, determined to learn about his mother and the circumstances surrounding her death. Veteran short-story writer Letts peppers her prose with a cast of quirky characters, including a quartet of nosy, domino-playing senior citizens and a perky pool-hall owner who bakes peanut-butter pies. Readers of Sue Miller and Wally Lamb are sure to embrace this memorable tale of love, loss, humanity, and hope. Allison Block

Well,I've been reading the Hetar Series by Beatrice Small and have had the hardest time finding the 2nd book in the series well I finally got it off bookmooch's website and I ordered it almost 2 weeks ago and have yet to receive it. If I don't get it by Monday I'm gonna have to give bad feedback!

Well I started a New book yesterday. Its by Danielle Steel called "Sisters" So far I really like the book and will give a more indepth view of it but,I've really liked it so far. Its about a really close family and what tragedy does to them. It really hits close to home for me because I went through a similar experience.

Well,I finally finished Jane Greene's book "To have and to hold" it actually got better by the time I got to the end. I'm currently reading Beatrice Small's "Lara" from the World of Hetar Series it seems pretty good. Still looking for a distant tomorrow by her. But no luck yet!

Well I still have yet to finish Jane Green's Book But,I'm almost there. I guess maybe I will try to have it done by the weekend. I hope so. I hope I can get my own computer really soon. I hate not having my own. I'm saving up to get me an Ipod video first so first thing is first. Well,I must go I need to pick the baby up from the sitters and get some things finished. Any Ideas on What to read next???

I put down Sophie Kinsella's book I've been reading so I could FINALLY read Frank Peretti's Book "HOUSE" I finally found a copy at the local library. Its been good. Its Scary but,I like it. It reminds me of the movies "The Haunting" and "The Chainsaw Massacre" Really scary but,really good. Well,I will let everyone know how it is when I finish. But,it starts out of a couple on the verge of a divorce I think they where going to counseling and they get lost and a cop stops them tells them to go one way and they get even more lost and end up at an Inn. The people at the house are strange. Will give complete details on the book later when I finish. I just hope it doesn't give me nightmares.

Well,I finished Susan Mallery's "there is always plan b" Yesterday morning and I started Reading Sphie Kinsella's Undomestic Goddess. I am going to read all her books. I didn't read much yesterday. Leah is cutting more teeth and I usually read while she is playing or while she's napping and by the time she FINALLY took a nap I had a busting headache so I just took a nap with her. I hope she gets her stomach teeth in before I return to work. It would be so much easier.
