From Danielle’s 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.
This week’s question: (link-up with your answer at Jen’s site): Share your favorite blogs, bookish or not, that you can’t go a single day without visiting.

Last week I announced that Saturday’s A Bit Of Me was taking a hiatus, but when I went to Danielle’s site to start my hopping and post my link, she had some great news. Some bloggers had offered to host this meme on a rotating basis so A Bit Of Me Is back !!!! Thank you to those kind bloggers in offering of their time!!!!!

hmmmm..favorite?

Favorite? I can’t do favorite!!! That’s like asking which child is your favorite? …..well I guess that would depend on the kind of day it is lol. OK…I’ll give it a try. After booting up and checking my mail, the next stop is my blog, NING and Facebook and see what I missed while sleeping.

Then it’s back to my blog, to post my daily memes (I really do love my daily memes), visit the hosting blog and start hopping to blogs that participate. I tend to visit different blogs throughout the day depending on reading something from their newsletter that I subscribe to, or if I haven’t visited in a while and I will admit I do have some favorites but my lips are zipped.

What about you? What sites is a must for you to visit on a daily basis?

Today’s question:

While my town dries out of record-setting, epic flooding from Hurricane Irene, let me ask you:
What’s your book with weather events? Hurricanes? Tornadoes? Blizzards? Real? Fiction? Doesn’t matter … weather comes up a lot in books, so there’s got to be a favorite somewhere, huh?
My answer:
As long as I have a book to read during a storm, it doesn’t matter. Even as a child, I remember that I used to love reading a good mystery during a thunderstorm. This past weekend, we were given enough notice to prepare for Irene and that’s exactly what I did. My first priorities lol were to make sure what book(s) I was planning to read, if my EReaders needed charging and if my portable book lights worked in case we lost power. Then hubby and I got the house prepared.

We did end up losing power for 30+ hours but because of my preparations, it was in a good way, a respite away from the computer, house cleaning, etc and just being able to sit and read. Other than the worrying about my sons, conserving cell phone power, inconveniences of having to throw away everything in my refrigerator, walking around with a candle and/or flashlight and worrying about property damage, which there were none, it turned out to be an Irene read-a-thon for me.
