Books & Coupons

Soo it's been a few days since my last post and I apologize. My husband is leaving to deploy again soon and we have been soaking up our time together..

Anyways, I went to the library today & our base has a very small library but I did manage to find 10 books I liked so I have a lot of reading up ahead of me. This reminded me of a 'challenge' more or less that I wanted to do.. I want to read 100 books in a year. I will compile my list tonight and post it as soon as I am done.. Anyone want to join me?

Also is anyone in a book club? I was thinking of joining one here. Thoughts and opinions?!

How many of you use coupons.. I do! I never did before we moved here, but since we live overseas we can use coupons up to 6 months after they expire. I picked up some more coupons today so now I have to go through them all and organize what I can use now, what I can use later and what to put back in the "coupon Joe" bucket where I get the coupons.


I know this post is random but I am all over the place today & Im just random! I hope you all have a great week :)

  1. Sounds like you and your hubby are having some good bonding time. :)

    I love coupons! The only problem is that they sway me to buy products I might not otherwise buy.

  2. I would love to read 100 books in a year, but I don't think I'll have time!! But I'll definitely be interested in seeing what you pick out! I'm currently reading Breaking Dawn from the Twilight series again. Stupid Eclipse movie just re-ignited that obsession. I also finished Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin recently. I'd love to read Eat Pray Love & a few others. Buzz Sugar had a great list of books that are coming out as movies this year & I was interested in a lot of them.

  4. I used to use coupons but realized I was actually spending more cause I was getting all that stuff that was one sale but I didn't really need! Enjoy the time with the hubs.
    I'm a new follower btw.

  5. I love to read! I have a goal of 52 books a year, it's all I can really manage w/2 kids and sometimes not even that many. But I try! I keep a list on my blog of the books I read, which is fun.

    I belong to 2 book clubs, and love it. One of the things I like about it is that it gets me to read books I would never pick up on my own. And sometimes, they're great!

    I don't use many coupons, but I know lots of people save SO much on groceries doing it. It seems like a lot of work and I don't have much extra time.
