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:
Do you subscribe to magazines?  If yes, which ones?
My Answer:
Just recently we subscribed to Time and People.

Thought I would share this with all of you.  Julie from Reading Without Restraint is having a 5 “cup” book giveaway.  Books that she has rated a 5/5.  Wait until you see the list of books you get to choose from, there are many.  And for those who usually can’t enter a giveaway due to limited residency rules, this giveaway is international.  So take a walk over, tell Julie I sent you, and enter.  Good Luck!!

Today’s Topic:
Have your reading choices changed over the years? Or pretty much stayed the same? (And yes, from childhood to adulthood we usually read different things, but some people stick to basically the same kind of book their entire lives, so…)
My Response:
For me, the choices have pretty much stayed the same.  In elementary school I remember that I always had a book but as far as the genre, I don’t remember.  However, middle and high school, I remember that my personal reading choices were the same as they are today.  I have always enjoyed the genres of suspense/mystery and also contemporary romance and literature.

*Grab your current read

EBook Download
This EBook was downloaded to my Sony Ereader this week. At the request of the author as a favor, he asked that I read this pending digital mini, and give my honest opinion as a reader and consumer, before he self submits it to an indie online publishing site.

All I was told is that it is a suspense, unlike the book he is currently on virtual tour with Pump Up Your Book, which is in the romance genre.  You may recognize the name, you might have even read the book, which is:

For those that may be interested in this digital short,  I will give you all or any information as I get it from the author.

EBooks Purchased:
