Musing Mondays (1 of 3)

MONDAY

Today’s Question:
This week’s musing asks…

What’s your favorite “cozy” book — and, by that, I’m meaning “curl-up-on-a-cold-day comfort read“? Or, if you don’t have a particular book, what genre do you most feel like reading when the weather starts to turn colder?
My Response:
I don’t have a particular “cozy book”.  The majority of my reading is Mystery/Suspense year round, so I can’t even say that my genre changes with the seasons.  But I do enjoy sitting, curled up in an afghan, a cup of tea and/or hot chocolate and my current read, especially if it is snowing out, is a perfect setting for reading.  I can honestly say that my genres don’t change with the seasons, only the scenarios change.

Meet Me On Monday (3 of 3)

From Java’s site:
“Meet Me On Monday!”

  Blogging is a funny thing…we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, “who is this person!?” I know them…but yet I don’t know them! I want to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great way for all of us to “meet” each other!
  Every Sunday I will post five get to know you questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post and we can all learn a little more about each and every one of us!!
  “Its a great way to to meet new friends and for others to get to know me better….one Monday at a time!!!”….as quoted by the Chacogirl!!

This is one of my favorite memes.  It was created by Marcia from The Printed Page but has now gone on a blog tour with a different blogger hosting each month.  October is being hosted by Avis at She Reads and Reads.  So before I share with you what was delivered to my house this week, I want to give a big Thank You to Avis.   Thank You!!

September Hostess has been Kathy from Bermudaonion Web Log
Before sharing my mailbox with everyone, I want to thank Kathy for hosting this month.  You have been a very gracious host and everything ran smoothly.  Awesome job!!
Now to my mailbox, I have made many friends through book blogging and how I wish we could meet for coffee.   Don’t you find that a person’s personality comes out in their blogging?  I think so!!  I met one such blogger that we clicked online but live on opposite sides of the U.S. so I guess coffee is out of the question lol.  We started our own little book swap…when we see a book that each other has read and want to read it, we tag it to be sent off to each other and send it across the land.  And this week I received 2 books from my book bloggy bff Julie P. from Reading Without Restraint.  Thanks bunches Julie!!

Due to the fact that I didn’t get much reading done last week, I will not be particpating in It’s Monday, What Are You Reading?  It would be a duplicate of last week.  Am hoping, that this will change for next week.

This Week’s Question:
If your book group asked you to bring two (2) suggestions for group reads to your next meeting, what two books would you suggest? Why?
My Answer:
My suggestions would be by authors.  I signed up for a challenge, Awesome Author, and have not made any progress with it.  At the time, I thought requested reviews would be far and few between, and I was wrong.  Not only that but I think I am the only one on planet earth that has never read a book by these 2 popular authors.  So my suggestions would be any book by Nicholas Sparks and Sue Grafton.
