Book Blogger Hop & Follow friday

"If you find a book you love, do you hunt down other books by the same author?"


Absolutely! This is how I discovered that I adore Julia Quinn and Lisa Kleypas.  Last Summer I read The Duke and I by Julia Quinn and fell in love with her writing style.  It turned out that the book was the second in an eight book series.  Of course, I then started with book one and rapidly read by way through Quinn's Bridgerton series.

Sadly though, I'm not always enthralled by other books that I find by authors.  More times than not I do like an authors other works, though.

Book Blogger Hop and Follow Friday: 4/1/11

The Book Blogger Hop is hosted by jennifer at Crazy for Books.  This week's Hop question is:

"Since today is April Fool's Day in the USA, what is the best prank you have ever played on someone OR that someone has played on you?"

I love a good joke or prank as much as the next person.  However, i'm not very good at implementing the jokes and pranks.  I'm always afraid I'm going to say or do the wrong thing and really hurt someone.  Even with my family, I avoid doing this kind of thing.  I'm actually blanking on any really amazing ones that may have been played on me.  I guess maybe people pick up on my reluctance to do this to others and therefore don't do it to me.  Also, my school-aged daughter is really sensitve and was worried about today.  I told her not to worry about any of this from her family.  I hope it's not bad at school.




There is also Follow Friday over at Java's Never Growing Old.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Book Blogger Hop and Follow Friday

The Book Blogger Hop is hosted by jennifer at Crazy for Books.  This week's Hop question is:

"If you could physically put yourself into a book or series…which one would it be and why?"

I LOVE this question! The answer is so easy for me, too! I would absolutely put myself into J.D. Robb's 'In Death' series.  I would make sure I would become one of the fun, smart, strong recurring characters, though.  I would NOT want to be a murder victim.  No way - too, too creepy!Maybe I could work with Feeney's EDD team.  I love electronics and gadgets.  It'd be fun to solve a crime using all the futuristic gadgets.  Although, a lot of the gadgets in the futuristic NYPSD are quite like the ones we have now - iPhones, etc.  I wonder what J.D. Robb thinks seeing some of the stuff she started writing about in the 1990's coming into being.  I would think it'd be cool but maybe just a tad strange.









And here is the button for 'Follow Friday' over at Java's Never Growing Old - also a fun blog to visit.

Book Blogger Hop and Follow Friday

The Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books.  This weeks hop question is:

"Do you read only one book at a time, or do you have several going at once?"

Before I had children I often read more than one book at a time.  It drove my best friend bonkers.  She could not understand how I could keep the characters and plot from each book straight.  I just did and I enjoyed reading more than one book at a time.  However, since I've had children, I have tried to continue on with this and it never works.  LOL My brain can no longer can keep every thing straight.  I have to read one book at a time now or I am truly confused as to what is going on in the books.  It's a complete turn around but one that I am perfectly all right with.



 Jave at Never Growing Old also has a Follow Friday event.

Feel free to join in if you are so inclined.  Have a great and safe weekend!
