Please join in the fun and get to know your fellow bloggers!!

From Jennifer’s site:
  In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and find new book-related blogs that we may be missing out on! This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed! So, grab the logo, post about the Hop on your blog, and start HOPPING through the list of blogs that are posted in the Linky list below!!
  The Hop lasts Friday-Monday every week, so if you don’t have time to Hop today, come back later and join the fun! This is a weekly event! And stop back throughout the weekend to see all the new blogs that are added! We get over 200 links every week!!
  Your blog should have content related to books, including, but not limited to book reviews.
  If you start following someone through the Hop, leave a comment on their blog to let them know! Stop back during the week to see other blogs that are added! And, most importantly, the idea is to HAVE FUN!!
This week’s twist:
“Where is your favorite place to read?  Curled up on the sofa, in bed, in the garden?”
My answer:
It depends on the time of year.  Now that it is getting cold, it would be in my recliner wrapped in an afghan in my new, but not completely finished, office/library.  During the summer it is sitting by or on a float in the pool.

This Week’s Twist:
“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?”
My answer:
Since I started accepting book requests, I will read at least 100 pages and if by then, if the book hasn’t grabbed me, it goes in the DNF pile.  With books that I just can’t get into, I feel that I am wasting time because I  find every excuse not to pick it up and continue reading.  That is why I put the 100 page rule in my “Review Policy”.

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

My Answer:
LOL  All of the above.  It really depends on the time of day, the time of year and the mood I’m in and not on if I am reading and/or blogging.  I am the type of person that has something to drink nearby at all times and take sips throughout the day.  I have to have hot coffee in the morning year round, and during the warmer weather, will then switch to ice water and/or iced coffee and in the winter, a cup of tea, hot chocolate and/or ice water.

This week’s twist:
“How do you spread the word about your blog?

(e.g. Social Networking sites, Book Blog Directories, comments on other blogs…)”
When I stumbled onto the world of book blogging, networking wasn’t on my agenda.  I just wanted to join in on what looked like fun with memes and challenges.  And because of it and comments I left, other bloggers found me.  I am still amazed at how many followers/visitors that have been kind enough to join.  I, only just recently, added facebook and twitter and am still learning how to navigate those.
