Time for the Book Blogger Hop! A weekly event hosted by Crazy for Books!

This weeks question is...

"Since Thanksgiving is coming up next week, let's use this week's Hop to share what we are most thankful for and what our holiday traditions are!"

My family doesn't have a lot of holiday traditions... so let's just go with what I'm thankful for!

-- I'm thankful for finding this wonderful book blogging community earlier this year. I've been blogging for years and I was never aware that there was a book blogging community! How I wish I had known sooner, I don't have a lot of friends that read so besides my husband, I don't really have anyone to talk to about books!
-- I'm thankful for all the awesome authors I've met this year!
-- Along with that note, all the awesome people I've met from Wicked in San Francisco that have changed my life, for good.
-- I'm thankful for my husband for always supporting me no matter how crazy my newest hobby and obsession may be and for always wanting to "be a part of my life". 
-- I'm thankful for the opportunities that University of Phoenix have provided me with (and the Mac Book Pro and Kindle their grant helped me buy).
-- I'm very thankful for my upcoming adventure!
-- I'm thankful for my family, no matter how crazy they drive me. And my in-laws, no matter how crazy they drive me as well!
-- I'm thankful for my friends, the ones that remind me they're still on my side. And for the ones who aren't currently but have made an impact in the past.
-- I'm thankful for my fur babies for all the happiness they bring!

I'm thankful for a lot of things, I'm horrible at making lists like this because I always leave something out! So let's just settle with... I'm thankful for everything. The good, the bad and the frustrating!

Time for the Book Blogger Hop! A weekly event hosted by Crazy for Books!

This weeks question is...

"If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?"

Yes! I have a total OCD about this. There are some books that I would rather not start out of order, but if it's good as a stand alone as well, then I probably would start with that one (I haven't done it yet but there's one I have in mind). But usually I don't like being out of order.

Time for the Book Blogger Hop! A weekly event hosted by Crazy for Books!

This weeks question is...

"What are your feelings on losing followers? Have you ever stopped following a blog?"

I think it always sucks to lose followers, it kinda makes you feel like you're doing something wrong or you're boring. I know that's probably not true, but I seem to always come up with the worst reasons as to why someone unfollows me. But at the same time, maybe the person shut down their blog or maybe they needed to clear up room for blogs they would rather follow other than mine, and that I can totally understand.

And yes, I have stopped following blogs. Sometimes I lose interest or they haven't updated in the last six months. Or like for this account I've hit the max amount of blogs I can follow and I let go of the ones that aren't really related to book blogging to follow blogs that are.

This weeks question is...

"What is the one bookish thing you would love to have, no matter the cost?"

Wow, I don't really know. One of those really awesome bookshelves from CSN! There were a few I really wanted but that were over $300. Ah.... *daydreams

Time for the Book Blogger Hop! A weekly event hosted by Crazy for Books!

This weeks question is...

"Where is your favorite place to read? Curled up on the sofa, in bed, in the garden?"

My favorite place to read is curled up on my bed under a blanket!

This weeks question is...

"When you read a book that you just can't get into, do you stick it out and keep reading or move to your next title?"

It kind of depends... I try to stick it out and keep reading, because most of the time the book does get better, but if I'm having extreme trouble understanding or if reading the book suddenly feels like a punishment, then I'll stop. But I do try to stick it out as long as I can before moving on to the next title.

Time for the Book Blogger Hop! A weekly event hosted by Crazy for Books!

This weeks question is...

What's your favorite beverage while reading or blogging, if any? Is it tea, coffee, water, a glass of wine, or something else?

I'm not really picky. I don't really think I have one that's absolutely important to have... though lately I've been drinking Pepsi even though it should be water.

This week went by fast! I haven't had a lot of time to read so I haven't finished Twenty Boy Summer or Vampire Academy yet. Boo. Hoping to finish it by this weekend, once I get this essay out of the way. Picking a winner for my giveaway tomorrow! If you're still interested in joining click here.

This weeks question is...

"How do you spread the word about your blog?
(e.g. Social Networking sites, Book Blog Directories, comments on other blogs...)"

I started by leaving comments and making a twitter for my blog. I followed other book bloggers as well as authors and publishing companies. Also GoodReads is a good place to network!

In this weeks news... I didn't buy any books all week (this is actually my second week not buying books. I know, shocking, right?) but I am going to meet Melissa Marr, Alyson Noel and a few other awesome authors for a signing tomorrow and I'll be bringing back a few goodies for my Halloween Reading Challenge that I'll be announcing at the end of the month. Join me! And win some signed goodies!

This weeks question is...

In honor of Book Blogger Appreciation Week, let's take time this week to honor our favorite book bloggers and why we love them!

I have a few that I look forward to reading everyday :)

That was a lot more than I expected to list lol. And I still feel like I'm forgetting someone! Check these book bloggers out, they're awesome!

So, random thing happened yesterday while I was at Target. I was standing in line and the girl in front of me told her friend she went to the library and checked out books to start her book blogging career. I totally wanted to say something! How cool is that! My husband actually over heard them before I did lol.

This weeks question is...

Post a link to a favorite post or book review that you have written in the past three months.

I don't really have one, but this one is one of my favorite reviews.

Friday, August 27, 2010

I can't believe it's already Friday! Busy weekend ahead, again. I've had a bunch of busy weekends lately... what is up with that! I guess it has something to do with Wicked in SF closing on the 5th, the SF fans that go on a semi weekly basis have been scrambling to see as many shows as we can and prep for our final farewell. I can't believe it's ending so fast... it's really bittersweet :(

This weeks question is...

Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?

I don't really have a fancy rating system. I just recently started to use the 1-5 rating system, but it's nothing fancy, I just mention it with the book details. I'm hoping to get a fancy one with icons and every thing some time soon-ish.

Basically if a book is something I loved, would re-read or had me thinking about it long after I finished it, it gets a 5 out of 5. I normally hate rating a book 1 out of 5 but if it's something I don't see myself ever picking up again, then... you know.

I can't believe it's already Friday! Busy weekend ahead, so I'll be posting my IMM today!

This weeks question is...

How many blogs do you follow?

I follow 234 blogs, according to my Google Reader. I try my best to read every single entry. I may not comment on all of them but I do certainly try my best to at least read them!
