Well, it’s that time again- the time where me and Katie from @ Doing Dewey reveal the books that we are chomping at the bit to read over the next 3 months! Futuristic Friday was a feature dreamed up by Traveling With T one day- and Katie, so enthusiastically, agreed to co-host this feature with me. Working with Katie has been a dream- while we have similar taste in reading (you’ll see that in the July we have some overlapping picks!), but Katie always picks some great books that I was not aware of- which I totally love!

Bloggy
Reviewz “N” Tips has 10 Ways To Improve Your Social Media and Blogging Workflow.
Get your bloggy, crafty and foodie links here in Thursday Mashup! Plus a giveaway or 2!
Bloggy:
-Last week during Bloggiesta, I talked about Did You Need A Facebook Page For Your Blog and you responded- some of you were in favor, some not. If you liked the idea of having a Facebook page, the Blogger Babes have Simple Tips to Help Promote Your Facebook page.
– Looking for Spring Reads? Book Bloggers International has suggestions!
– While Rebecca @ Love At First Book did not LOVE the book WHEN THE CYPRESS WHISPERS, it is one of Katie’s @ Doing Dewey Futuristic Friday selections. After reading what Rebecca posted about it being “a light read” I’m a bit more curious to check it out!
Crafty
– H2O Bungalow has a sweet Some Bunny Loves You sign made (with a free template!)
– Fresh Idea Studio has a beautiful DIY Easter wreath/Spring Wreath (gorgeous!)
– My Crafty Spot has a DIY Hexagon clock that has me doing a happy dance over the color!
Foodie
– Kleinworth and Co has Toasted Coconut Brownie Torte that looks so delicious, you might just want to lick your screen! (No judgment- it crossed my mind!)
– 30 Handmade Days has an easy (did you hear me? I said EASY!) recipe for Melt In Your Mouth Cheddar Biscuits. Now, listen, there is about nothing better than sinking myMelt In teeth into a good Red Lobster biscuit- except for the drive and the fact that I always have a craving at the most inconvenient times. So, I’m def ready to try this!
Giveaways
– Traveling With T has BOOKS and CHOCOLATE (thanks Harlequin) to giveaway! Books and chocolate!
– Great New Books is giving away THE MOON SISTERS by Therese Walsh!
– Traveling With T has an Contemporary Romance E-book set from Harlequin to give away!
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you found some cool new links to check out! If you did, I would love to hear about it!
Happy Reading and Bookishly Yours,
T @ Traveling With T

It’s the Thursday before the big love-fest day known as Valentine’s Day. This Mashup will have some recipes that I found that might be just the perfect thing for V-day (whether you be single, married, madly in love or whatever!)
Foodie:
Tastes of Lizzy T posted about this Amish Chocolate Covered Cherries a couple of weeks ago- and the picture she used- YUM looking! I read the recipe- they did not sound too hard (all hail those of us that pots and pans quake with fear as we walk through the kitchen!)
The Frugal Foodie Mama made Double Chocolate Cherry Biscotti- and I basically wanted to lick my computer screen. No, wait that’s gross (and I so didn’t). But if in the future scratch and smell links come to computer screens (you know, like about the time that everyone has flying cars) THIS is the recipe I want to try first. Continue reading
