Congrats to winners:
Becki****
I'm so excited for Catherine McKenzie's newest book that is out THIS WEEK, and by the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Catherine TODAY!!
Her latest book is Forgotten which takes place partly in Africa, where Catherine has never been, but the main character is a lawyer, which Catherine really is, as well as an amazing author--one of my faves!
Unfortunately, this book has been 'forgotten' by me as you all know I've been facing some things at home I'd rather forget about -- haha, nice play on words on my part here. I haven't had the chance to read at all lately, but I couldn't NOT bring this book to YOU, and I'm dying to start reading it. I've loved Catherine's other books, SPIN and ARRANGED, and I know this one, once I get started reading it, will have me glued to the seat!
Here's what Forgotten is about:
As she struggles to re-create her old life, throwing herself into solving a big case for a client and trying to reclaim her beloved apartment from the handsome photographer who assumed her lease, everyone around her thinks she should take the opportunity to change. But is she willing to sacrifice her job, her relationships, and everything else she worked so hard to build?
In Forgotten, Catherine McKenzie tweaks a classic tale of discovering who we really are when everything that brings meaning to our lives is lost.
Read more on Forgotten on Catherine's website here: INFO ON FORGOTTEN.
Thanks to Catherine and her publisher, she's offering TWO copies of Forgotten so if you'd like a shot at winning, just tell me something that you are always forgetting! And not something lame like your keys!
PS... one of the Perks of Being a Wallflower winners have not contacted me yet...melisa TMD636 where are you?
PSS... for those of you thinking of my son Luke who was diagnosed with epilepsy over the summer and has had grand mal seizures, (which is why the posting of books has been very sporadic), we are on day 23 of being seizure-free. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Life is almost getting back to normal. I hope to be getting back on track with lots more books soon!
NEW TO BOOKING WITH MANIC?
I always forget, until the very last possible moment, to put salt in my pie dough mix.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a specific thing I always forget, but on a daily basis I walk into a room or go to do something and forget what I was going to do!
ReplyDeleteit's good to see the update on luke! i'm sending more good thoughts your way... as for forgetting it's inevtiably my grocery list which i remember once i step foot in the market!
ReplyDeleteOk a funny one and a true one. I always forget where my keys and phone are especially on days when I am already running late. This one has gotten much better now that I am older but for quite a while, I would always forget not to drunk dial. Now I remember...most of the time. :)
ReplyDeleteI write grocery lists and leave them at home.
ReplyDeletePlease I forget everything--hence the ADHD diagnose at 28---oh now I get it :) And did you know they make this watch so you can set reminders--and one of the reminders is to pick up kids--LOL at least this is one I do not forget--I would probably show up to pick him up even when I don't have to which would make it that I forget not to pick him up.
ReplyDeleteI am always forgetting to pay my Verizon bill...I think I just don't want to be reminded of how freakin much we spend on cell phones! They never forget and send me a text every month...
ReplyDeleteI am always forgetting my schedule especially on busy days! It takes a village!
ReplyDeleteI always forget things at the grocery store. If i make a list before i go...i usually forget to take it with me!!
ReplyDeleteGlad your son is doing better!!

ALWAYS forgetting to get bday gifts for my daughters kid parties...or get cards for friends...even though its in my planner...ugh... So glad to hear about your son! GREAT news and I hope it continues for you... LOVE Catherine's books so my fingers are crossed for this one!!!
ReplyDeleteI have had to call my cell phone to be able to figure out where I left it. Lame, but that's all I can think of right now.
ReplyDeleteThat's easy. My phone but always at home. I have my cell phone with me all the time and when I get home I'll usually have it in my hand but I'm doing so much, like getting the mail, changing out of my work clothes or washing my hands so I'll set it down somewhere and will lose it constantly. I may be on the bed under an shirt I just took off. I can spend a lot of time looking for my phone.
ReplyDeleteHappy to read about the seizure-free span - that is good news!
ReplyDeleteI always forget breakfast and/or lunch - I don't get up early enough to eat before leaving for work so I try to bring something for each and inevitably I forget one or the other EVERY day. Unless I get it all ready at night, which, of course, I'm usually too lazy to do :o)
My kids...just kidding. It's usually forgetting to take meat out to thaw for dinner.
ReplyDeleteI never remember to check in for Southwest flights the day before and end up in the middle seats. :(
ReplyDeleteGlad your son is better!

How about something I always think I'm forgetting? I always always think I forgot to close the garage door and circle back, only to realize it's actually closed. Nothing like wasting time and gas!
ReplyDelete-tmd636
P.S. I emailed you, sorry!
I always forget to take my wallet when I drive..and then freak out that thats the day I will be pulled over.
ReplyDeleteLilian @ A Novel Toybox
I'm always forgetting whether or not I've asked my husband a question. I constantly have a mental to-do list and usually that includes asking him about something or other. So a lot of the time I forget whether I actually had the conversation or not. I've just learned to preface every question with, "Did I already ask you this..."
ReplyDeleteI've been gone from BWM for a few months because I had my baby. But I've been keeping up with you on FB. So sorry about Luke but I'm glad that things are starting to look up!

I am always forgetting my umbrella somewhere.
ReplyDeleteBonnie
Either I forget my grocery list, or today thought I had it, but now can't find it. Or I forget to take the coupons, or worse, forget to give them to the cashier when I check out!
ReplyDeleteGlad Luke is doing better.

If I don't start my conversation with my co-worker (pretty much almost yelling; thankgoodness we are the only two in our area)as I walk out of my office I will forget what I'm about to say!
ReplyDeleteI'd forget almost everything, appointment wise, if it weren't programmed into my phone's calendar. I've actually missed doctor's appointments, picking up my parents for appointments, etc. until I started putting everything on my cellphone.
ReplyDeleteI always forget to bring my grocery bags into the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Whatever I REALLY need at the store is usually the one thing I forget. Then after I finally remember to buy it, I forget that I did and buy it again the next three trips to the store.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your son is doing better!
Something I'm always forgetting... what I had for dinner the night before. It's crazy. I can remember 10yrs ago but not what I had for dinner yesterday.

Great news about Luke. Let's keep the good day coming.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I forget? How about almost everything. The day of the week, to put my rings and watch on before I go to work, to put gas in my car, what I went to the grocery store for. Oh my I am a mess. hahahah
Its been more frequent, but I go downstairs to get something out of the freezer, and get sidetracked and dont bring ANYTHING upstairs. Arrgh!
ReplyDeleteWe sometimes forget to bring along our own boxes and bags when we go grocery shopping.
ReplyDeleteMargie T
I always forget to pick up my kid
ReplyDeleteI am always forgetting to love myself.
ReplyDeleteI always forget to use coupons at the grocery store!! Glad to here Luke is doing well!! My prayers are always with you and the fam!!
ReplyDeleteEvery week I clip coupons...go grocery shopping, get to the checkout line and where are my dang coupons? Yep, at home on my desk!!!!
ReplyDeleteday 23! that's exciting! i hope he continues to do well!
ReplyDeleteand i LOVED arranged! I'm always forgetting to deposit checks I'm given...and also to pay attention to everything around me! whoops!

I keep forgetting my daughter's dance class! We keep completely forgetting to take her!
ReplyDeleteColbey J
I'm always forgetting everything these days. When you are pregnant, you start forgetting things. I'm waiting for that memory loss to return. I have so many things going on at work and with a 7 month old, that ideas and thoughts that enter my head are quickly forgotten.
ReplyDeleteI always forget to do things like call people back until it way too late at night to call.
ReplyDeleteTerri M.
OMGosh! This book sounds amazing. I have been wanting to read Catherine's other two books and they are on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I ALWAYS forget is taking something out of the freezer for dinner. It's maddening and something I don't ever think I'll remember to do. Sigh....
Anyway, yay for day 23! That is GREAT! You are half way to your goal...awesome!
Have a good one, Steph!! :)
Nan
I always forget my badge to get me in the doors to work. I have to wait for someone to let me in and then beg my boss to loan me one for the day.
ReplyDelete-Donna W.
I will forget ANYTHING that I don't write down, from groceries to friends' birthdays! So glad to hear things are going well with your little guy! Hope it continues!!
ReplyDeletenames--i'm TERRIBLE with names, even with people i know fairly well!
ReplyDeleteI will walk into a room with a specific purpose and then completely forget that purpose. So annoying!
ReplyDeleteNicole
I always forget to take the cloth bags to the grocery store to reuse. I hate those darn plastic bags so you would think I would be a little better about remembering, wouldn't you? And even if I remember to put them in the car, I usually forget to take them into the store. grrrr!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this awesome giveaway - I love Catherine and her books!
I tend to forget anything and everything...only to remember it just when it's too late.
ReplyDeleteCall my mom? Nope, it's already after 10pm her time.
Get home from the grocery store? Damn, I forgot to pick up this or that.
My brother's birthday is tomorrow? Guess he'll have to be happy with a phone call and a late gift. :)
I'm always forgetting names. I have run into a co-worker (who I know pretty well) at the mall and forgot her name! Embarrassing...
ReplyDeleteI am really bad at remembering to send birthday cards on time.
ReplyDeleteI forget my phone charger @ home on a regular basis which means no music while I work...makes the days way too long! :(
ReplyDeleteI seem to always forget the date. Mind you I sit at a desk with a calendar right in front of me at all times. Yet by the afternoon if you ask me the date I still have to check the calendar.
ReplyDeleteI always forget my reusable shopping bags in the car
ReplyDelete-Denise F.
I change purses and wallets often, and, always ALWAYS forget to make sure I have my wallet, complete with drivers license, ATM, money, etc. in whatever bag I'm carrying for the day. I can't tell you how many times I've been at the grocery store w/a cart full of groceries, only to get up to the register and realize I have no wallet!
ReplyDeleteI always forget to make a grocery list and I end up just going to the store and buying tons of stuff I don't need and nothing that I actually do!
ReplyDeleteNames! I am terrible at remembering names.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I forget pretty much anything if I dont write it down! Lol. Dance class, meeting, birthdays....must be on the calendar or they don't stand a chance!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad your son has been seizure free for so many days. Continued thoughts and prayers to your family.
I forget things all the time, which is why I am an obsessive-compulsive list maker, so I never forget anythings. I have several lists in my purse at the moment. It's slightly ridiculous. If I die suddenly, and someone goes through my purse, I think he/she will think I'm Rain Man or something.
ReplyDeleteI always forget to take meat out of the freezer for dinner. My poor husband eats a lot of spaghetti :)
ReplyDeleteI loved Spin, and I have Arranged on my Kindle, but I keep forgetting it is there to read! Glad things are looking up for your family :)
ReplyDeletephone numbers
ReplyDeleteEven if I DO remember to bring the grocery list, I always forget to pick up one or two items that werent nearby when I happened to glance down at the list.
ReplyDeleteI NEVER forget a book to read however, lol.
I am always forgetting to turn the ringer off on my phone. Every day in class it rings. The students are now keeping a tally. 😁📖
ReplyDeleteI always forget to call my grandma back. She'll call and leave me a message, I check it thinking I'll call her back in a little bit, but I always forget!
ReplyDeleteSoo glad to hear that you're having a good stretch of seizure-free time! Praying that stretch keeps going!
kndyer
I need to grab my flashdrive every morning to take to the office, but always wind up doubling back, in the car, to get it.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that your little one's improving. I think of your situation every time I log on to this site.
I'm always taking my glasses off and forgetting where I left them. I have three pairs because I think one pair is lost and get a new pair only to find the original pair.
