Today’s Question:
Name your top 2-3 favorite genres (the ones you read most from).

My Answer:
Today’s question is an easy one.  My 1st choice, and as been for years, is the genre of Mystery/Suspense.  Those books keep me engaged and love to try and solve the mystery.  Maybe I was a PI in another life lol.  The 2nd would be Contemporary Chick Lit/Romance.  These you will find on my shelves and tbr list.

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 I would like to open a topic up for discussion.  I wasn’t around for BBAW and really don’t know a lot about it.  I recently have seen it in my google reader so I went to investigate.  I read a bit about it, think the categories are great, and would even consider this blog in the “new blog category, however, I am having ambivalent thoughts on and about it.   I would think it was like when another blogger presents you with an award.  That is an honor to think a peer thinks your blog is special.  So isn’t the BBAW like the grandest of all awards.  To nominate yourself doesn’t quite seem right to me.  Does it then become a popularity contest?  So today I would like to hear your views.  What do you think about the BBAW?  Were you a participant last year?  Did other bloggers nominate you or did you put your blog up for the award?  Are you nominating yourself for this year’s award?  What are your thoughts and feelings on this topic?

 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!
I apologize that this might be a lengthy response but with Father’s Day this weekend, I remember fond memories of my Dad.
  My question is:
     Share a memory of you and your dad?
  My answer:
     Even for me this is a hard question.  I have so many good memories even though my dad passed away when I was 16 years old.
     I’ll share one that was near the end.  It was right before he had gone into the hospital for the last time.  He wanted to get out of the house, so I took him with me on some errands.  I drove, and after a while, he said to me, “Who do you think you are, Mario Andretti”? You have an awful heavy foot”. (for those who don’t remember he was a race car driver in the Indy 500)  And I looked at him and answered “No, I take after you”.  He gave me a smile/smirk and never said another word about my driving.  You see, when he was younger he was also a race car driver.
