Aloha Friday

Aloha Friday #1

Friday is my favorite day here on my blog, busiest, but definitely my favorite. So many fun memes and the the chance to meet many new bloggy friends. So lets get started ……….

Hosted by An Island Life http://islandlife808.com/

From An Island Life: In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, visit An Island Life answer the question and then post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

My question is: What time do you usually get up in the morning?

I get up between 5:30am to 6:30am. If it is any later than that, I feel that I have wasted precious time.

in the fun. You don’t need a blog to comment, but if you do and want to join in, links provided for each and all memes.

Hosted by Jennifer from CRAZY FOR BOOKS http://www.crazy-for-books.com/
Here are the instuctions from her site:
Every day I seem to find another book blog that I start following. In the spirit of the Friday Follow, I thought it would be cool to do a Book Blog Hop to give us all bookies a chance to connect and find new blogs that we may be missing out on! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed!
So, if you’d like to participate, just repost this on your blog, sign MckLinky below, and check out other blogs in MckLinky! Let’s connect and make new book bloggy friends!! So, if you consider yourself a book blogger, come join the fun!
Pretty please – Your blog should have content related to books, including, but not limited to book reviews.

Yesterday I was having one of those “down” days that we all get every now and then. I went through my usual routine, coffee mug in hand, checking my email, reading all my booking newsletters that I subscribe to. Every morning I look forward to this routine and it is always enjoyable reading the reviews, adding more titles to my TBR list (even though it will probably take a few lifetimes to read them all), what is going on each person’s blogs, etc, etc. Having so much on my mind, what I find so much fun every morning, was not happening, I was just going through the motions. I then logged onto my blog and saw that I needed to moderate comments. To my surprise, and pleasantly so, I was presented with another award!! Marce from Tea Time with Marce (http://teawithmarce.blogspot.com/) was so kind to think of me and passing it on.

Because of her thoughtfulness, on a day that started off gloomy, became radiant. Thank you so much Marce. If you haven’t visited her, you really should, she has a delightful blog. Link is above.

Now the criteria……….

This award is to honor and thank bloggers that are kindhearted individuals. I appreciate the regular comments, networking with you and becoming blogging friends.

Rule: Nominate 10 bloggers you feel deserve the Humane Award.

Do you take breaks while reading a book? Or read it straight through? (And, by breaks, I don’t mean sleeping, eating and going to work; I mean putting it aside for a time while you read something else.)

Never !! I have to read one book at a time. It has always astounded me, and still does, how people CAN read more than one book at a time. I know that I would have to reread chapters to recall characters, story lines, etc. I am a front to back page girl. Once I start a book it is always read to the finish. On rare occasions, when I get in a reading slump or I am just not in the mood for a current book I have chosen to read and put it down for a later date, I start from the beginning again.
