Friday Book Blog Hop (3 of 3)

Book Blogger Hop
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!!
   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:
To answer the weekly question, my favorite new-to-me author is actually a debut author whose first novel I couldn’t put down.  It was phenomenal!!!  And ironically, today I am hosting him as a “Guest Author” (see post 1 of 3) and the above post is an early exclusive!!!  The author is, Vincent Zandri, and if you like thrillers, than you are in for a treat when you read his books!!  I was introduced to him in May when I read and reviewed Moonlight Falls. (all links in Post #1) and have been a fan since.

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?
On Wednesday my mom celebrated her 89th birthday!! 
 So my question is:  How do you celebrate your birthday?
My Answer:
On my 29th, 34th, 42, 49,  birthday, hubby and I usually go out to eat with

 our 2 sons and their gfs, and then stop some where for an after dinner drink. 

   And hubby always surprises me with a great gift!!

Today’s Question:
Which fictional character (or group of characters) would you like to spend a day at the beach with? Why would he/she/they make good beach buddies?
My Answer:
Great question!!!  I recently read and reviewed (06/16/10) Beachcombers by Nancy Thayer.  For those who haven’t read the book or the reviews, it is about 3 sisters who go home, to Nantucket, one summer to deal with past and present issues in their lives.  The “sisters” came to life on the pages to the point that I felt I knew them.  Even though each one had their quirks and problems, they were also fun loving.  And the descriptions of Nantucket, beautiful, whereas I could picture the island that I have always wanted to visit.  So my beach buddies would be the Fox sisters, Abbie, Emma and Lily and it would have to be on the quaint island of Nantucket!

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!
My Teaser:

Nicky grew nervous, remembering her promise to Jamie that she wouldn’t do anything foolish.
