Hosted by An Island Life 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:

Profession, career, job?

MY ANSWER:

Presently medically disabled, retired RN

Was fortunate to be a SAHM when my boys were young.

Hosted by Jennifer from CRAZY FOR BOOKS

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!!

Your blog should have content related to books, including, but not limited to book reviews.

Today’s question:
“What book-to-movie adaption have you most liked? Which have you disliked?”

My answer:
Sad to say I am not a movie type person. I can’t even honestly say the last time I watched a movie. I would rather create the visualizations or “movie” in my mind as I read the book. However, over this past year of reviewing and blogging, there are some books that I have read that if a movie was to be made, I would be curious and might just watch it..

This week’s question:

Do you ever feel like you’re in a reading rut? That you don’t read enough variety? That you need to branch out, spread your literary wings and explore other genres, flavors, styles?

My answer:
At times yes. But than on the other hand, there are so many books that I want to read in the genres I enjoy, and honestly feel that I will never get to all of them, that I don’t feel I am missing out on anything.. I have one large 5 shelf packed bookshelf that are divided into one shelf of my requested reviews, the rest are all of my personal personal tbr books. So when I deplete this bookcase, I will consider another genre lol.

Hosted by Lori from Dollycas’s Thoughts

From Lori’s site:
It struck me recently how much time I spend on this computer every day, blogging, chatting or playing games on Facebook, emailing friends and relatives, making cards and calendars, etc. etc. etc.
We depend on each other for book reviews, giveaways, encouragement, friendship, but how well do we really know each other?
So that is what this meme is all about, getting to know each other.

WEEK 39 QUESTIONS

1. If you could meet a famous person who would you like to meet?

This is definitely a hard question and so many possible answers but because this milestone just occurred yesterday, I would say Oprah.

2. Are you planning a summer vacation?

Since we just got back from vacation, our summer plans will be to spend it by our pool.

3. What is your favorite television show?

Piers Morgan Tonight and since the Casey Anthony trial has begun, I do watch Nancy Grace to get the recap of what happened in court.

Teaser Tuesday

Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
*Grab your current read
*Open to a random page
*Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
*Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Children had always been powerless, but never more than now when, despite Merell’s intelligence, she possessed nothing with which to defend herself.
“You’ll never be sent to a foster home, Merell, I promise you that. You’re surrounded by people who love you. Nothing bad will happen to you or your sisters.”
