Friday Follows and Hops

By Barb Drozdowich

Happy Friday All!

I’m happy to report that *fingers crossed* everyone in my household is seemingly healthy! No colds, no fevers, no influenza, no runny noses!  Now if we can only stay like that for a while!

I am also happy to sum up what little got accomplished this week, remind you of events coming next week (should be an exciting week) and then join everyone in our weekly visits!

This week I reviewed:

A Secret Affair by Mary Balogh – the last book from an outstanding series!

The Icing On the Cake by Alison Kent

Twice Tempted by a Rogue by Tessa Dare

This week has alot of exciting events:

Sunday – come back to see my review of Uniform behaviour and enter to win a copy.This giveaway is sponsored at The Romance Reviews

Monday – is Bestseller for a day for 30 pieces of Silver – take the opportunity to buy a great book for 99 cents and see how far up the Amazon lists we can drive this book!

Tuesday – Rob Tobin is dropping by for a guest post to talk about his new book coming out – God Wars: Living With Angels

Thursday – Ami Blackwelder is joining me to talk about her latest release – Shifters of 2040.

Friday is the start of March Madness Giveaway Hop sponsored by Diva’s Bookcase.

Hope you all have a good week, and if you drop by, say hi!

Follow My Book Blog Friday is hosted by Parajunkee, and attracts lots of book bloggers each week.  This week she asks us what is our favorite TV Show.  I don’t watch much TV – I’d much rather be reading a book, but if I happen to sit down at the right time, I’m a sucker for The Big Bang Theory.

My second Friday event this week is Book Blogger Hop sponsored by Crazy-For-Books.  The question this week is would you change the name of your blog if you could.  In a word, no!  I like the name so it stays!

The third activity that I’m going to participate in is the 18 & Over Book Blogger Tag Along Friday Sponsored by Laurie at Bitten by Paranormal Romance.  This is a Friday follow for blogs that occasionally feature material for the mature set!  Laurie wants to know my favorite author.  I have lots and lots of favorite authors 🙂  And they seem to change.  For example, this week I had the opportunity to read the latest by Sabrine Jeffries – so this week, my favorite was her.  Next week, it will likely be someone new!

Hope you all have a happy week filled with reading!

    Happy Friday, hon! I’ve only started getting into the Big Bang Theory this year, but it is consistently funny. It may very well become a favourite, but we’ll have to see how it holds up to repeat viewing.

    What’s in a name? Everything! A name is a label, a description and a promise. I’m very happy with mine – “Howard Sherman, Implementor” but it was quite a journey to get there.

    Hop on over to my blog and find out why – http://www.howardsherman.net

    Blog names are so interesting…I know that I’m drawn to certain sites for a first visit by the unique names…then I’ll stay and come back because of the look and the content.

    Here’s MY BLOGGER HOP POST

      Hi Tyraa!
      Good to hear that you are safe. Our news is not all the clear – we only get pic from Christchurch.

    I’ve seen a couple of episodes for Big Bang Theory. It’s pretty funny. There are so many TV shows that I’d love to watch, but like you I don’t want to get bogged down because it would run into my reading time.

    • Barb

      February 25, 2011 at 3:29 pm

      Hi Jenni!
      Exactly, although I enjoy watching some TV, quite frankly, I’d rather be reading most of the time.

    Hi Barb!

    I’ve caught only snippets of the Big Bang Theory and those that I have were very funny indeed. *grins* Thanks for hopping by my blog I do hope you have a wonderful weekend!
