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!

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:
This week’s question comes from Alex who blogs at Geek on the Brink:

“What do you consider the most important in a story: the plot or the characters?”

My Answer:

I think that plot comes first, then characters.  If the story doesn’t grab me, it doesn’t matter what the characters are like.  I would compare it to life, it’s the total picture of what is happening and then there are some people that are liked and/or disliked within one’s life.

My Answer:

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.

TUESDAY
Photobucket
Hosted byMiz 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!
After the call, John must have gone back to Blake,, because they emerged together about an hour later.  Blake had an odd look about him, but John, seemed calm, bordering on emotionless.

Week #12 (and final) Question:
So, for our final question(s), choose one or more of the questions below to answer. Your pick!

I am choosing to answer all.

Do you write in your books?

The only time I wrote in books was when I was in college and needed to highlight and/or take notes for important points from my text books. But when reading books for enjoyment…absolutely NOT.

Can you read in the car?

Yes, if I’m not the driver lol otherwise it could be quite dangerous

Does the rest of your family enjoy reading?

Unfortunately, No. There are only 2 people in my family that read and both live out of state. My cousin and my son’s gf. That’s why I love being part of this book blogging community!!!

What’s the longest you’ve gone without reading?

A few years back, I went into a major slump due to real life issues, whereas I didn’t read for over a year.  But once I picked up that first book, all of the addictive traits of an avid reader returned.
