Slapdash Sunday

SUNDAY

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:  Word Verification
  Do you have it on your blog?  Why?  What do you think when others have it?  Do you think it is necessary?  Have you had experiences that you need it?
I don’t have it for this blog.  And have had only 1 comment that I had to delete…it was an advertisement for some jewelry.  I do a lot of hopping, and I know that while visiting other blogs, I will be coming across some verifications.  What I think is funny is that it seems every time I leave a comment, a get a 7 letter verification.  LOL  Is it only me that blosgspot and wordpress makes me work harder?  I have only been blogging for approximately 8 months and not sure what the positives and negative reasons are to have word verifications.

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.
Today’s Question:
This Weeks Question: What is one thing you are really NOT good at?
My answer:
LOL..Think many of you could answer this one for me.  One word…Computer.  I am so bad with computers.  I have trouble even after given directions between the lingo, codes, how-tos, etc., etc.  I waste so much time trying to figure things out.  I am very lucky that I have a bloggy friend who is my go-to person when it comes to computer questions.  She is always helpful and patient with me.  And who is my computer angel you ask…its Vicki from Reading At The Beach.  Thank you Vicki !!!

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 is:
What’s your favorite annual flower?

My answer:
Star Gazer Lily.  A mix of white and pink with a beautiful fragrance. 
So glad that Yankee Candle carries this scent so I have it year round. 

Friday Book Blog Hop (2 of 2)

Photobucket
Hosted by Jennifer from CRAZY FOR BOOKS
Here are the instructions from her site:

  Every day I seem to find another book blog that I start following. In the spirit of the Friday Follow, I thought it would be cool to do a Book Blog Hop to give us all bookies a chance to connect and find new blogs that we may be missing out on! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed!
  So, if you’d like to participate, just repost this on your blog, sign MckLinky on her site, and check out other blogs in MckLinky! Let’s connect and make new book bloggy friends!! So, if you consider yourself a book blogger, come join the fun!
Pretty please – Your blog should have content related to books, including, but not limited to book reviews.

Today’s Twist:
This week’s question: Tell us about some of your favorite authors and why they are your favorites!
  There are many authors that I try to read as many of their books that I can and a few would be:  James Patterson, Lisa Jackson and Karen Rose for well known authors.  The suspense grips you to the very last page.
  Since I have been reviewing, I have had the opportunity to read many debut authors and there are 2 that, I think, are right up there.  Their books are from different genres and from reading the reviews across the blogosphere, I am not the only one who thinks that they are worth watching.  First, since I mentioned authors in the suspense/mystery genre, would be Vincent Zandri author of Moonlight Falls and his newest one that I can’t wait to read, The Remains.  He is a blend of Patterson and Hitchcock.  Second, would be an author that I read and reviewed his debut back in Feb. and loved it.  A mixture of romance/suspense.  His writing style was such that you became so engrossed with the characters, their lives and transported to the setting in the plot.  All the makings for a great read.  He is Bill Walker, author of, A Note of An Old Acquaintance.  I found out yesterday, when visiting Bookventures Author’s Chat that he is in the process of writing a sequel..can’t wait.
