Sundays In Bed With... Let The Devil Sleep

 It's time for my weekly meme Sundays In Bed With... where we share what book we're curled up in bed with this morning (or the book we wish we had time to hit the sheets with!).  I'm actually at the beach this weekend, but if all goes well I'll be spending time with this book:

Let the Devil Sleep by John Verdon, which I got from the lovely ladies at Wunderkind PR.  Our new kitty, Alabama, is settling in nicely and Riley and Emmy have accepted her into our family.  She also seems to be a book poser, just like Riley.  Hopefully someday soon I can get them in the same picture (of course 'Bama looks teeny next to hulkster Riley)!

Also happy 21st Birthday to my niece, Sam!  We've been celebrating her bday at the beach for years now, so I thought I'd share a picture of her during her very first trip to Ocean City:

 Don't worry, it's a virgin daiquiri which she got because it's what I ordered.  Sadly, right after this picture was taken, someone smacked her on the back and her face froze this way.  ;)

So what book are you reading today?  Link up below or leave a comment.  As always, I challenge you to take a picture of the book in your actual bed (or wherever you're chilling)!

Sundays In Bed With... The Princess Bride


Good morning, Midnighters!  Hopefully you're curled up in bed with a good book, and this is the meme to share your Sunday reads.  Let me know what you're reading today, or what book you wish you had the time to read today.

I just got back from vacation.  Of course I took more books than I could possibly read, but between spending time with my husband, my family, swimming in the ocean and watching the Olympics, I only read 2 books.  I know, you've a right to be ashamed. 

Also, I was looking for a kitty to add to our family.  Our girl kitty, Joey, died back in December and until recently we (and by "we" I mean the Hubs) wasn't ready to get a new companion for our male cat.  I decided it was time though when my husband insisted on bringing our cat Riley on vacation because while he'd been fine with a cat sitter in the past, leaving Riley all alone for hours was not something the Hubs could stomach. 

So Riley came to the beach... he did not enjoy the six hour drive, and he was less than thrilled with all the noise of my nieces and nephews running around the house.  The Hubs reluctantly green lighted Project Find Riley a Little Sister.  And I did.

This is our new kitty, Alabama (or Allie) with my Sundays In Bed With... read, The Princess Bride by William Goldman.  She just woke up, so she's a little blurry eyed, and it is one of the first times I've been able to get her to sit still long enough to take a picture. Alabama gets her name from The Hubs favorite movie, True Romance... which is fitting because Joey got her name after one of the Hubs favorite bands, The Ramones. 

Even though vacation reading was a failure and I have tons of books to read, I still wanted to re-read The Princess Bride (which I may or may not have been reading aloud to our new little fur baby).  It's one of my all time favorite movies, but the book is even better.  It's kind of fitting, since the first time I bought and read the book was at the beach I just got back from.  If you haven't read it, you are really missing out!

Now it's time to let me know what you're reading!  Join in the meme with the linky below, or leave a comment.  I know Sundays can be busy days for us, so it can just be a book you wish you were reading today.  And if you want, take a picture of your book in bed!
