Upcoming Guests!

Meanderings and Muses is pleased to present the following guests who will be dropping by during 2014.

Once again, I'd like to say many thanks to those of you who have taken the time to grace us with a visit. Many of you have been around since the beginning. Thank You!

You make Meanderings and Muses a charming little place to hang out and for this I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Check back from time to time, as guest dates may change. In between our guest bloggers, I hope you'll drop by for a little visit with me and to say hey to one another.

Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of coffee or a cuppa tea, have a piece of pie and always feel free to speak your mind, and your heart, here at Meanderings and Muses.

Hugs!

Kaye

Books Read During 2014

Every year I promise myself I'm going to keep a log of books I'm reading. And I immediately forget. Then I remember again, but only after I've already read a few books, but can't be sure I'll remember them all and so - - can't bring myself to start the list. It's sort of like missing the first 30 minutes of a movie. I just can't watch it if I've missed the beginning. And being the anal ol' soul I am, I can't bring myself to start a list if I can't be sure it's going to be a complete one.

So.

I decided to keep a list during 2010 and found it to be a fun thing. Especially for a compulsive list-maker like myself. You can see my 2010 list here -

And, you can see my 2011 list here -

And here's my 2012 list - http://www.meanderingsandmuses.com/2013/01/books-read-in-2012.html

And, my 2013 list -

AND, because I enjoyed doing it, I'm going to do it again this year.
