SUNDAY
Am very, very late posting today. My laptop went on strike….guess I am overworking Lily Laptop but hubby came to the rescue. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. My plans for today is to catch up on all my computer to-dos and then hoping to finish my current read. What are your plans for this fabulous Sunday. Be on the look out…more giveaways will be posted within the next couple of days. And don’t forget to enter for AH-CHOO, cold and flu season is just a few months away to this would be a great reference book for the coming months.

Slapdash Sunday is a day for your proverbial week ‘leftovers.’ Is there something you wanted to say, but just forgot? Is there something you want to write about, but isn’t worth a whole page? Do you have a random thought, funny or otherwise that needs to be written down?
That is what Slapdash Sunday is for!
Today’s topic: Requested Review Books:
As I slowly work my way through all my requested review books, I was wondering…..
Do you have a review policy? Do you read your requested books according to your schedule or the schedule of the person requesting a review?
According to my review policy, I read my requested reviews in the order that I receive them. As soon as I receive a book, a post-it is attached, the next number in sequence is noted, who the request is from and any other information for that book. I also, add it to my TBR Reading Schedule located on my blog so that agents/authors can see where their book is in relation to my reading schedule.
How do you decide which books you read from your requested review book pile? Do you have a schedule as to how you read books that are requested? How do you keep track of all your books? How do you manage your requested review books?
Would love to hear!! Let’s have a Slapdash Discussion!!

From her blog:
We all leave our “footprint” on the world, in one way or another. We each, individually, do something or are someone that makes the world a little better just by being here. I created this weekly meme to get to know the blogging community I love just a bit better. To know what makes them tick, outside of books, that is. Each week I will post a question to be answered in the following week’s “A Bit of Me(Me)”. Check back each Saturday to get the info for next week’s post and link up with your current post right here.
This Weeks Question: If you could travel anywhere in the world for 24 hours, where would you go?
(Logistically, this could be more than one place, so be creative!)

I have been lucky to have traveled to some faraway places. When in high school (many, many) years ago, I traveled to Europe twice. My first trip was to Spain and then we took a boat to Africa. Of course, while in Spain, we saw a bull fight, which parts of it were not pleasant to watch. Africa, the country side was beautiful but then we took a side trip to the Casba and that left a lasting impression on me. The poverty, the lack of housing and illness, mainly leprosy.
The next year, I traveled to Italy, which was beautiful and rich in heritage. I went to the Vatican, the Coliseum, Pompeii, shopping in Florence and so much more.
We have also been to the Caribbean 4 times.
So to answer this week’s question, I would love to go back to Italy and visit but as a family vacation with our 2 sons.
But my favorite place to visit, we have been twice and we are hoping to go back after I recuperate fully, is Aruba. The white sandy beaches, the turquoise waters, the tropical breeze, and the ideal place to relax and read. We stay at the Aruba Radisson, which is a resort that one doesn’t even have to leave because everything is right on the grounds. For us, this is the perfect vacation, a little bit of heaven on earth.
Now you know a little bit more about me. What about you? Where would you love to be or travel to?

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 twist:
How many books do you have on your ‘to be read shelf’?
My Answer:
Shelf? More like a bookcase. I have 22 books in my “tbr requested review” pile and for my “personal tbr shelves” it is too many. And then there are quite a few in my EReader waiting to be read. Since finding the book blogging/reviewing world my tbr lists have grown. And because of that I have renamed my tbr list to “my tbr bucket list”.
Have a great weekend and thank you for stopping by and visiting!!
