This week’s question:
What’s the most romantic book you’ve ever read?

(Mind you, I don’t mean the hard-core stuff you hide in plain wrappers under your mattress. I mean True Love, Romance, deeply emotional, heart-tugging, and all that stuff.)
And, secondly, did you like it? Is it your usual kind of reading, or did it take you by surprise?
My answer:
After reading the question, the first book that came to mind was The Ring by Danielle Steel, which a friend had recommended while we were in HS.  Even back then, I was into the suspense/mystery genre (I truly think I am a closet CSI, PI adrenelin rush agent, etc wanna be because I know I wouldn’t be able to work in that field because I am afraid of my own shadow).  I remember that I couldn’t put the book down and read it in just a couple of days. It was because of that book that hooked me into reading her novels.

From Lori’s site:
It struck me recently how much time I spend on this computer every day, blogging, chatting or playing games on Facebook, emailing friends and relatives, making cards and calendars, etc. etc. etc.
We depend on each other for book reviews, giveaways, encouragement, friendship, but how well do we really know each other?
So that is what this meme is all about, getting to know each other.

1. Do you take a daily multi-vitamin or supplement?
I probably should but don’t
vitamins

2. You’re snacking – popcorn – pretzels – potato chips or peanuts?

3. Waffles, Pancakes or French Toast?

Awards

I first owe a huge apology to Lisa from Lisa’s World of Books and Ellie from Books, Fitness & Other Stuff.  They each have presented me with an award and I am just getting to post about them.  As some of you know that I have been having some personal issues that has had to take preference above everything else..  But, by all means, it doesn’t lessen how appreciative I am and what a warm feeling I get, that 2 of my fellow (or should I say Gal) bloggers think that my blog and I deserve these awards. 

The first warm and fuzzy was presented by Lisa from Lisa’s World of Books.  A very BIG Thank you Lisa for sharing your award with me.  And for those who haven’t met Lisa, please stop by and say hi. 

Photobucket
And now for the criteria and passing the torch (am taking a little liberty here as we all know that we love receiving awards but it is time consuming and takes away from reading time, so I hope you don’t mind, if I change the rules a bit)
1. Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his or her blog link.

2. Pass the award to 15 3 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered.
3. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.
Passing it on to (in no particular order):

Hubby is going to be very happy today because I can turn down the thermostat, more warm and fuzzy feelings.  Ellie from Books, Fitness & Other Stuff passed this new one on to me.  A very BIG Thank you Ellie.  I have never seen this award before

Photobucket
I will also be taking the same liberty with this award.
Criteria:
As a condition of my acceptance of this adorable award, I have to share five three things about myself.

In those five things, four must be partially fictitious, or enhanced realities (read – kinda true, but kinda not), and then one full factoid. I also must pass this award along to seven 3 other awesome bloggers. Feel free to make guesses about which one is the completely true one, I’ll post the answers later in the week!
1.  I wear contacts.
2.  In high school I travelled to Spain, Italy and Africa
3.  Public speaking does not bother me.
