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!!

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!

Summer is almost over and fall is upon us, which brings me to today’s question.

Today’s Question:

Do you do fall/spring cleaning? To what degree?

My Answer:

Yes!! Top to bottom, cleaning out closets, throwing items out, etc etc. I feel so good when I’m done and everything is sparkling clean and organized. However, can’t do it at this time…doctor’s orders.

This is a new blog hop that I found and will be participating in.  This will be the fist time!!

Are you a blogger over 40? Yeah, welcome to the club!
Please join in the fun and get to know your fellow bloggers!!

Today’s Twist:
Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?
My Answer:
Yes.  I have a rating system, which can be seen on the left side of this blog, from 1-5.  I feel it is a cyberuniverse system with 5 being FANTASTIC.  Some sites require the a rating system so feel that I should post it across the board.  I think that the wording may be a little different from other bloggers, but the majority that use the 1-5 scale are typically the same rating.

1. You do your thing; I do mine and sometimes we will do things together.
2. Wanting to do fall cleaning, but can’t, is what’s been on my mind on and off all day.
3. Remember when life was simple and stress free.
4. Reading, blogging and ice cream sundaes are three of my favorite obsessions 🙂
5. During the last year I have experienced both good and bad.
6. My family puts a smile on my face.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to relaxing and reading, tomorrow my plans include my computer to-do lists, sitting by and in the pool reading and Sunday, I want to definitely sit by and in the pool reading since summer is almost over!
