My ABCS....and what's in store this week.

Good Evening lovely followers.

Whew, has it been a busy weekend! This is a good time to divulge a bit more since I was tagged

by Mel at He followed me home... for ABCs. Thank you!

Here's the story with me. I used to work a bazillion (yes, it's my own little word) hours in my former career as a bookstore manager. This came to an end earlier this year and I vowed that I would do whatever it takes to be with my son as much as possible and not have work take over my life. No daycare! Just me or my husband or family taking care of him. In order to do that financially I chose to work part-time in two worlds that I love, recommending books and helping children. But I have to do this around my husband's work schedule to ensure one of us is home with our little redhead. So sometimes I have weekends like I did this weekend, where I work late and get no reading or blogging done!

I have some catching up to do!

This week I am planning to post my review for In the Woods for the R.I.P challenge, pick a winner of The Historian Giveaway!, announce another Giveaway for BBAW and finish Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and The Magician's Elephant by Kate DiCamillo.

I think I can do it all.

So, anyway, on to my ABCs:

Here are the rules:

1. Link to the person who tagged you

2. Share your ABCs

3. Tag three people at the end by linking to their blogs

4. Let the three tagged people know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website

5. Do not tag the same person repeatedly but try to tag different people, so there is a big network of bloggers doing this tag

Here goes. . .
