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.

Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of this blog.
*Post a link along with your post back to this blog.
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST

And…here we go!

1. I was missing my laptop and blogging while in hospital.

2. I ran some errands and I left my book on the table, which I never do, can’t leave home without a book!

3. Why does it seem that morals and courtesy have disappeared?.

4. Hubby was in my thoughts today.

5. One of my father’s favorite sayings was “diamonds are an investment”.

6. Feeling naked without a book–I know that feeling!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to resting, tomorrow my plans include reading and resting and Sunday, I want to do something but will have to rest and read, can’t do much else while recuperating!

Unfortunately I was not able to join in on my fun Wednesday memes. Had appointments for in home medical care, which wiped me out. The assessments went well, especially physical therapy, but they will be coming back 3 times a week to build up my muscles and wean me from the walker to a cane. Even though it took a lot out of me and what they made me do increased my pain level, I was so happy to hear them say that I was so much better than the first discharge and felt that with future therapy I will become stronger. Another good thing that came out of it was since my pain level increased, I was not able to sit in front of my computer but sat in my recliner, read and finished a book. WooHoo…starting to get the ball rolling. Review will be posted later today. Now to today’s meme.

Today’s question:

God* comes to you and tells you that, from this day forward, you may only read ONE type of book–one genre–period, but you get to choose what it is. Classics, Science-Fiction, Mystery, Romance, Cookbooks, History, Business … you can choose, but you only get ONE.

What genre do you pick, and why?
This one is easy, don’t even have to think twice. It would be mystery/suspense. I can’t even tell you how many years I have been reading this genre, trust me…it’s a lot. I have been an avid reader as long as I can remember and have always gravitated to the mystery/suspense books. I think I enjoy these books because I try to be a PI and figure out the ending.

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:
She was walking west, probably to grab a bite of lunch. He put his van in gear and slowly followed. A little ether on a handkerchief and the element of surprise would do the job nicely.

I am in Minneapolis, Minnesota with Detective Olivia Sutherland as she tries to track down a murderer or murderers that could also tie in to an arsonist. I am also eavesdropping into her personal life.
