Join My First Linky Party!!!!

First let me start off by saying that I wanted to get this linky up early this morning. I have been gone all day. I promise to do better next week. :-)


 
I have been joining in on many other linky parties for a long time now. I have been wanting to do one on my own and I am so happy to start this one. I hope you will come back and link up every Sunday for a new topic! So I began thinking about what the first topic should be and I have made a list of topics to last me for about 3 months. So for the first week I decided to go with....
 
 
 
Sharing 3 things about yourself that you like or like to do using your initials.
 
 
 
My initials are LTR so I will choose 3 things starting with those letters.
 
L-is for LEMONADE-especially from Chick-Fil-A.  It is the BEST!!!   Can I get this at Walmart?  lol
 
 
T-is for TV- Besides creating products on TPT.....I love to watch TV.  My favorites are Glee, Vampire Diaries, 90210, Degrassi, Scandal, Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Amazing Race, Dance Moms, Pretty Little Liars.  This list can keep going and going and going....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
R-is for READING- Although I never have a lot of time to do this anymore.... I really love to read. I ordered tons of books from Scholastic even as a young child. Some of my favorite books I liked when I was growing up are pictured below. Do you remember any of these?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
My favorite book as an adult is the entire Hunger Game Series. Gotta love Katniss!!!
 
 
 
The next book on my list is Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. I saw the new movie and I really want to read this one.
 
 
 
 
What other books should I check out???
 
 
 
 
Be sure to include the linky graphic and link it back to me so others can join in on the fun!!!
Don't forget to visit the 2 people that linked up before you and leave them a comment/follow/or just read their post.
Thanks for joining in and feel free to link up anytime during the week!!!

  2. Ooohh...I LOVE Scandal! :) I read lots of SVH when I was a 'tween' myself! :) I loved the Safe Haven movie! :) I've never read the book, but I've read just about all of his other 'movie books' and I enjoy him a lot! :) I posted about reading on my blog too, since I've also got an R in my initials!! :) Here's my book suggestion for ya...I really like Karen Luellen...she has a paranormal fiction series that I'm just gaga about! :) She's a kindergarten teacher by day and a writer at night! :) Super sweet lady! :) Thanks for this wonderful linky opportunity! :) I enjoyed reading your posting! :) See you next week! :)

  4. Great linky!

    I used to have all the Sweet Valley High books when I was younger. I could never read Goosebumps - I had too much of an over-active imagination (still do, when I think about it!).

    Can't wait to get to know everyone who links up!

  5. I love Sweet Valley High! Goosebumps used to scare the heck out of me but I still read them :) Thanks for doing this linky!

  6. I used to love the Sweet Valley High books. I'm too old for Goosebumps. I didn't know about them until I was a teacher already. When I was younger I read The Babysitters Club. I must have read at least 40 of those books. I was hooked.

  7. I love it that we have so much in common! Chick-Fil-A lemonade and Vampire Diaries to name a few! Thanks for the linky! I am excited to join and hopefully make this a weekly tradition!

  8. Oh my goodness, your site is adorable! Alicia at Dreamlike Magic designed my blog too, yay! Isn't she the best??
    I'm your newest follower, and thanks for the super fun Linky Party!
    And, on a side note, I am SO jealous you have Chik-fil-A. We used to have one years ago at the mall (like when I was 5) and I STILL remember how good it was. I don't know why we don't have any in Oregon. :(
    And I read the same books!! Just add in Babysitter's Club. ;)

  9. OMG Chick-fil-a lemonade is the BEST. If it was sold at Walmart, I'd get it every time! Your TV shows are very relatable to mine - Pretty Little Liars is one of the best shows I watch! Finally, your books are relatable to mine, too!! I saw the movie Safe Haven, but haven't the read the book yet - if you do read it, you'll have to let me know how it is!

  11. OOOOH, you'll LOVE Safe Haven! It's my favorite of his books. I'm also a big fan of Jodi Picoult. You've gotta read House Rules.

    I just created my first linky party last week. This is a cute idea, and I'll have to join in!

    Safe Haven is a GREAT book - definitely one of Nicholas Sparks's best books.

    I love your book choices - I loved the Boxcar Children growing up and the Hunger Games series is a real winner!

  25. Get linky party! I am definitely joining but need some time to think about what to write. :) And yep, most definitely have read the Goosebumps and Boxcar Children books back in the days. Didn't read Sweet Valley Twins but I did read Babysitter's Club! Interestingly enough, I am also introducing Boxcar Children to my top reading students. We just started reading the first one! :)

  48. AAAAH I LOVED the Sweet Valley series! I read from Sweet Valley Kids all the way to Sweet Valley University! I even read the book that was published about a year or so ago with the twins "currently". So fun to see other fans :)
