  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:

What are you listening to right now?

My Answer:

FOX News

From Java’s blog:
Are you a blogger over 40? Yeah, welcome to the club!

  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:
“Tell us about one of your posts from this week and give us a link so we can read it (review or otherwise)!”

My Answer:
It would be my weekly event entitled Sunday’s Shining Star, whereas a blogger in our community is a guest for the day and is interviewed.  There has been  positive feedback and I love getting to know those bloggers a bit better that have been showcased over the past few Sunday’s.

Today’s Question:

“What book are you most looking forward to seeing published in 2011? Why are you anticipating that book?”

 

My answer:

Moonlight Rises by Vincent Zandri, sequel to Moonlight Falls.  I was first introduced to this author in May of 2010 and have been hooked ever since.  He writes just like James Patterson.  Short, cliff hanging chapters, fast paced, can’t put down mysteries.  Just finished his latest novel Godchild, which came out this week and it was phenomenal!!!!!  Brilliant story teller!!!!!

My Question:

Do you like roller coaster rides?

My Answer:

Absolutely……NOT!!!!

Progress Report: Total 17.5 hrs..finished one book..wrote one review
Didn’t get much reading done yesterday.   Had a lot of emails that required drafting for future postings…plus thought I should do a few things around the house before Bloggiesta started so reading got put on the back burner.  Bad, Bad me!!!

This is the first time I am participating in Bloggiesta, so I do not know what to expect.  Am hoping to learn some short cuts that will cut down on my time spent on the computer.  I am hoping that there will be tasks taught and for us to implement throughout the weekend.
Friday Progress, Updates, Tasks:
1.  Have read tips from Trish at Hey Lady, Watcha Readin how to organize inbox mail and will be implementing her tips.
2.  Kathleen from SMS Book reviews taught us how to make buttons and banners.  Here is mine.  I also copy and pasted her instructions that will go into a folder for future use.  Thank you Kathleen!!!

I am off now to learn about RSS feeds, Google documents, cheat sheets, anchor texts and favicons and graitars, whatever those are.  See you later, if my brain is not over cooked  lol.
I didn’t complete all I wanted to do today but there is always tomrrow.  I did check out the cheat sheets tips and think I have that under control, add RSS and olayed around with a googl document.  Tomorrow I have my eye on a few others I need to do, in between real life issues.  And for the rest of the night, a little relaxation and reading for the Read-A Thon.  Have a great Friday evening all!!

This week’s question comes from Barb who blogs at Sugarbeat’s Books:

“Why do you read the genre that you do? What draws you to it?”

My answer:

I mainly read Mystery/Suspense or Contemporary Chick Lit.  I think I enjoy the thrill and fast pace of a thriller, trying to figure out “who did it” even thogh if it is a good mystery, I never do.  And I enjoy the Chick Lit especially if the characters come to life as if I knew them personally, and I become part of their story, a story that I don’t want to end because I want to continue to follow the characters’ lives.
