This blog is going to be going away at the end of the year. I have played with WP enough that I think I have it figured out. Still can't figure out how to follow, but I'm sure that will come in time.
At any rate - my 2012 challenges posts are up and I'm ready for the new year! A year of keeping with one blog host!
Check me out there! My Reading Blog.

Facebook Page
I started a Facebook Page for my reading blog!
Since I'm posting over on my Wordpress blog I thought it would give it a try. It's a great way to know when I post (which I haven't been very much lately).
So, I'm not sure how to do a link or whatever to the actual page but it's called
wait for it
Reading on Planet Caddick
hopefully you will find me there!

Trying to move blogs
I've been trying to move this blog over to wordpress. I know I moved everything here earlier this year - but I really enjoy having the separate identities of my family blog and my reading blog. With both of them on Blogger I don't really have that.
I don't know if I'm sold on WP. I'm trying to figure it out - but sometimes it's just so confusing! I'm willing to keep working at though just for the sanity of keeping things apart.
I've been posting some book reviews on there and working on getting all the blogs I follow moved over to my blogroll list. If anyone knows of any easy way to this please let me know. Since we are on vacation I've not been doing too much - but I've been keeping up with my Reading Challenges numbers. I'm getting pretty close to having three done, which would be half! Woo Hoo!
Anyway - I wanted to let you know what I'm attempting to do - and if you want to check out any of my reviews they are at my other reading blog. Don't be alarmed, since I'm not extremely creative, it's also called Reading on Planet Caddick!
Enjoy the rest of summer and a few good books!

Reading on Vacation
We are leaving for a trip to visit family in Ohio and Michigan. I know a lot of people read during these long drives - but reading (even looking at a map) in a moving vehicle makes me car sick like you would not believe!
What to do while we are driving hours and hours?
My husband won't listen to audiobooks (they sound too much like talk radio - another no no!). So, I took to my library - and iTunes.
I went to the online audiobook library here and downloaded a book called One Tuesday Morning by Karen Kingsbury. I couldn't figure out how to download the books I really wanted, so I had to go with a MP3 that would play on a mac so I could get it onto my computer to transfer. I hope it's good.
Then I went to iTunes - last time we did a drive like this I downloaded a season of Bones to watch. This time I opted for two more audiobooks - Ill Wind by Rachel Caine and Whiskey Sour by J.A. Konrath.
Now I have three audiobooks loaded on my iPod - hopefully these will keep me occupied during the drive.
I'm also not taking any hard copy books. *GASP* I opted to take both my Nook and Kobo. There's plenty of reading on those for the days when we are just hanging out doing nothing.
How do you guys handle road trips and vacations? Do you take a lot of books with you? Are you lucky enough to be able to read in car?

~Book Review~ A Witch in Time
What it's about: Stony Mill, Indiana's newest witch, Maggie O'Neill, has been attached at the hip to the smoking-hot Marcus Quinn. Things couldn't get any better- until her sister Mel gives birth to not one, but two babies...
Maggie's visiting Mel in the hospital when a whispered conversation in a cafeteria sends chills down her spine. She can't make out what they're saying, but Maggie knows malice when she hears it. The next night, death visits the hospital...twice. Nobody bats an eye, but Maggie knows something sinister is haunting the hospital. Now she'll need help if she's going to tie two murders to one killer. (goodreads)
What I thought: I've been interested in reading this series for a while - I'm way more partial to witches and such rather than vampires. I can't explain that - I like vampires, I just like witches more. Anyway...I had trouble getting into this book. I think it was more because there were a lot of references to things that happened in books past that impact things that happen here. I knew I was reading them out of order; sometimes it doesn't matter - but this time it did. Also I would have liked more actual witchcraft! LOL What can I say? I probably won't read any of the other books though.
Would I recommend? I hate to say this - but no, I wouldn't. The book as a whole just didn't flow all that well, in my opionion.

~Book Review~ Strawberry Shortcake Murder
What it's about: The stakes start rising faster than dough when a judge from the Hartland Flour company's Dessert Bake-Off is found dead in Hannah Swensen's strawberry shortcake. Can she catch the killer before he or she cooks up another recipe -- for murder? (goodreads)
What I thought about it: I really like this series. I'm getting better at picking who the murder is, and I did with this one too - but the motive slipped past me. This was a fun cozy and the recipes included sound heavenly!
Would I recommend this book? Yes I would - fun, interesting characters and the little town of Lake Eden, MN sounds like a great place to live.
