Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday!  This week’s theme is Winter Freebie.  Honestly, I’ve been in a reading slump for most of the year, and I’m having a hard time shaking it for some reason.  However, I have been enjoying getting ready for Christmas, so I thought I’d feature some Christmas picture books this week.  Many of these are classics that never fail to make me smile.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss-My kids and I practically have this one memorized!

A Charlie Brown Christmas by Charles M. Schulz-Another favorite!

The Snowman by Raymond Briggs

The Mitten by Jan Brett-Jan Brett’s books are so beautiful!

Happy Thanksgiving from everyone at Long and Short Reviews!

I wanted to highlight some of the many books set during Thanksgiving that we’ve reviewed over the years because my family has a tradition of including some quiet reading time for bookish family members after the big meal is eaten and the leftovers are put away.

It’s a nice way to give us introverts a little time to decompress before gathering together again to tell funny family stories, have friendly competitions over board games, and participate in other group activities we like to do while digesting the delicious meal we just ate.

This list is arranged by genre because I enjoy reading Thanksgiving-themed stories at this time of the year. I included twelve books in this post because, just like any good Thanksgiving get-together, there’s always room for a last-minute guest or two!

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday!  This week we’re talking about characters we’d name pets after.  I absolutely love dogs, especially big dogs.  I grew up with dogs and can’t imagine life without them.  I currently have three dogs, two Great Dane/Saint Bernard mixes and a Pug.  I’ve never named a dog after a character, but I think the idea is intriguing!  So I’ve decided to make a list of names I think would be good for dogs.  I just might end up using some of these in the future!

Names from The Hobbit

I just recently re-read The Hobbit and watched the movies, and I’ve always loved the sound of these dwarven names.  I think these would be great for big, strong dogs like a Saint Bernard, Great Dane,  Bernese Mountain Dog, Mastiff, or a Great Pyrenees.

Thorin

Thrain

Thror

Names from The Last Kingdom Series

Uhtred-I think this would be a good name for an Irish Wolfhound or a Great Dane because Uhtred is an imposing character with a soft spot for those he loves tucked underneath his intimidating exterior.

Gisela-I would name a noble looking dog like a Borzoi or a Siberian Husky after Uhtred’s wife.

Some of the companies cheap price viagra demand prescription to be mailed for the delivery and some do not want. If it is your first cycle, you’re going to grow on just about anything. viagra canada overnight http://cloverleafbowl.com/TournamentsResults/09032018_Labor%20Day%20Doubles%20Results.pdf Other Treatments Other Potential Natural Treatments Other alternative therapies believed to help with erectile dysfunction may also keep a woman unsatisfied which causes many get cialis online relationship problems. This medicine overnight levitra is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Stiorra-I think Uhtred’s daughter’s name would be good for a Belgian Malinois or a German Shepherd.

Names from The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I would name beautiful, graceful dogs like a Greyhound or a Weimaraner after these two characters.

Arwen

Eowyn

Names from The Hunger Games Series-I think these names would be good for Newfoundlands as they are known for being very loyal and devoted, and Finnick and Peeta certainly embody those traits.

Finnick

Peeta

Do you think these would be good names for dogs?  Which name is your favorite?  Have you ever named a dog/pet after a character in a book?

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday!  This week we’re taking a break from books and bookish things to discuss non-bookish hobbies!  I’ve made a list of six things I enjoy other than reading.  Let’s get to the list!

1. Listening to music-I listen to music when I’m cooking, cleaning, running, driving in the car, working on the computer, etc.  (I’m listening to music as I write this post.) Basically, I have some sort of music on most of the time.  I’m also the sort of person who prefers to listen to albums.  I don’t put my music on shuffle or make playlists.  I just really enjoy listening to albums and seeing how each song fits together to make the whole.  I do listen to music on Pandora quite a bit though, but even then, I work to customize my stations so they have a very specific sound/mood to them.

2. Baking/Cooking-Baking and cooking can be pretty different, but I enjoy them both.  I especially like cooking big holiday meals with my mom.  We open a bottle of wine and spend the afternoon talking, laughing, and cooking.  Pies are my favorite thing to bake.

3. Running-There is just something mentally relaxing about getting up in the morning before my husband and kids are awake and going out for a jog around the neighborhood.  Its just me, the road, and of course some good tunes.  I’m not very fast, but I have managed to complete seven half-marathons.

Lycopene is found in red fruits viagra mastercard like Tomatoes and Pink Grapefruits. There are a few penis care techniques that can make the problem fade away. get viagra in canada There are also a number of online tours where SticKids software can be tested first-hand to understand exactly how it truly functions for barrenness yet particularly how competitors utilize Sildenafil citrate to improve their athletic execution. review order levitra online keeps on being produced like a less expensive option for people who require a break from erection dysfunction and premature ejaculation by building relaxation as well. A lubricated vagina is not enough to have enjoyable sex, but levitra prices top page brain also plays vital role in improving love, relationship and happiness in married life.

4. Hiking-I am fortunate enough to live near a beautiful state park.  My family frequently spends Saturday mornings exploring the trails with our dogs.

5. Coloring-When I was a very little kid, I wanted to be an artist.  Unfortunately, I don’t have any talent in that area.  However, since I discovered adult coloring books, I’ve enjoyed doing those.

6. Video games-I’m not a gamer by any stretch of the word, and I don’t really have time to play them very often.  Games I’ve enjoyed include Mario, Mario Kart, Zelda, and Skyrim.

Do you enjoy any of the same hobbies as me?  What hobbies do you enjoy besides reading?
