My Question:

Do you have a mantra?

My Answer:

Everything happens for a reason.

  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 question:
“Do you read only one book at a time, or do you have several going at once?”

My answer:
I am a one book at a time reader.  I want to give my undivided attention, be totally focus, maybe become “friends” with some of the characters and transported into the story line and hopefully with the author’s writing style that will happen.  Reading more than one book, I would be afraid that I may get some of the details of events, characters, etc. confused with the other books.  Since I have been a one book reader for many years, and read strictly for enjoyment, I plan on continuing this type of reading schedule.

This week’s question’s”
“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:
Mystery/Suspense books that are on my personal tbr bucket list, and there are many, either PB or EBook editions and a few new book marks.  Unfortunately with the cost of books, if I wanted the newest released books, I would probably only be able to purchase 3 HC.  So to get more for the money, I would go with the newest released PB.

This week’s question:
“Do you ever wish you would have named your blog something different?”

My answer:
I think the “CMash” is unique enough to distinquish it from other blogs but I wish the “Loves To Read” was different because of all the typing when entering it into all the the linky forms, etc, etc,.
