I've been Swagged! #AndreaRing

Do any of you remember my September 5th entry? Well, if you don't, just go read that real quick. Go ahead, I'll wait.

So you read it. Well, the wonderful author of "FIRST STRING", Andrea Ring, sent me a Swag Bomb. It was so full of goodies. Note I said 'was'. I kind of went a little candy crazy before I could take a picture of it with my father's outdated digital camera. That's what happens when you have been on a candy sabbatical. Things get messy. Plus I had to share. Unwillingly, mind you.

Here's a List of what I got:
1. A box of Lemonheads
2. A box of Skittles
3. A box of Mike & Ike Cherry Cola
4. A box of SweetTarts
5. A box of Nerds (that sounds kind of funny to me for some reason)
6. A box of Runts (even funnier)
7. A Ring Pop (Cherry)
8. Pop Rocks (Tropical Punch)
9. A bag of Dum Dums (my mouth said yum yum)
10. Bubblicious (Strawberry, my ultimate Fave)
11. 4 pencils (a writer's best friend)
12. A pack of glow bracelets ( Always wanted them but never got any, so much for hinting)
13. 2 strings of beads ( life is always good if you have beads around your neck)
14. An Emory Board ( my nails said #thankyou)
15. A key ring
16. A Guitar Pick ( I'm currently looking for a guitar so this made me happy)
17. 4 Sweetheart-like erasers (the writer's other bff)
18. 2 Heart-shaped foam balls
19. A beautiful Hankerchief
20. A signed copy of "FIRST STRING" (and this I treasure more than anything)

Now, just so you folks know those boxes of candy weren't checkout lane size. They were "I'm going to the movies" size. I am going to have to start working out soon. But, that's okay. It was worth it. 

Ahhh, Books.................

I love to read. Have I mentioned that before? I'm always on the look out for a new read. My definition of a good book is one where if you lose track of time and space, you forget that you have things to do or places to go. You are sucked in.
I recently shared a book like that with my cousin (who I'm having coffee with later).  Here is the cover of our new favorite series...

Hope Cruz is fresh, funny, and totally (sort-of-kind-of-not-really) like me. We're both eager and excited about book two.

Another lovable book, (as in I didn't go to sleep until the sun came up) was Bayou, My Love.

 This book gave me bags, I tell you, bags!

I also sped through these two treasures:

                

Allie Pleiter is hilarious and easy to relate to in these faith filled books.

And as you may have guessed, I read more than just Christian Fiction.
