Happy Almost Friday!

Where I live, the next two weeks are spring break so Friday will be my last day of sanity!  If my posts stop making sense, just take pity on me, things will be back to normal in two weeks when school goes back in 🙂

It’s been a busy week, but not alot posted.  Next week you’ll want to drop back by as I’m participating in Indie Reads Appreciation Week, hosted by That Bookish Girl.  I’ll be having 4 independent authors drop by to say hi and books being given away.  Next Thursday is the beginning of Lucky Leprechaun Hop hosted by I am a Reader not a Writer.  There are currently 258 blogs signed up for this event.  If you are interested in joining me and others in either event, just head to the respective blogs and sign up!  If you are interested in winning some bookish swag, keep next week in mind!

On to the Friday activities…..

Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee. It’s a hugely popular Friday activity. We link up our blogs and then spend all weekend dropping by on old friends and making new ones.

The question for this week is: “who are You the Boy/Girl, instead of You the Blogger?”  My answer is I’m a mommy to 2, wife to a wonderful husband, employee at the local school board, part-time on-line bookseller, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, etc.  What about you??

Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jennifer at Crazy-For-Books.  Jennifer’s question this week is : “If I gave you £50 (or $80) and sent you into a bookshop right now, what would be in your basket when you finally staggered to the till?”

My answer: $80.00 in a bookstore is the stuff of dreams!!  I have this wonderful little used bookstore a few miles from my house.  His stuff is ever changing, but I often see more than I can afford when I go in.  I think I would take my $80.00 and start at “A” and work my way through my wish list, picking up what every he had in stock.  Must check lottery tickets…..

Bitten by Paranormal Romance hosts an 18 & Over Book Blogger Tag Along Friday.  This is for the book blogs that review some over 18 material.  There aren’t many of use that join, but that’s fine!  This week’s question is how many erotica titles do I purchase in a week?  The answer is I can remember the last time I purchased anything!  Right now, I’m kept very busy with books from the various tours I participate in and The Romance Reviews sends me lots.  If I find myself lacking, there is always NetGalley.

Hope everyone has a great weekend full of reading!  Hope you come back to visit next week and score some new books!

    That’s so cool that you sell books part-time online. I’d love to have a bookstore, be a librarian (if I didn’t have to go to school to become a librarian), or be a copyeditor. (I’m choosing the copyeditor route.)

      Hi Jenni Elyse!
      I didn’t realize that you were a copyeditor – my sister is as well! Small world. I’m heading over to say hi on your blog right now!

    Wow! What a great question this week. I always peek at other people’s book piles at the checkout link at B&N. That doesn’t make me a voyeur, does it?

    The exhibitionist in me has posted my own bookstore shopping list — and it’s not as predictable as you may think!

    Happy Hop Friday!
