Friday #1 Aloha Friday

I am trying out a new format today for Friday memes (if you would, please comment which way you like better…thank you).  On Fridays, I participate in 4 memes and in the past have put all of the memes in one post.  I have found that it is hard to respond to comments as they are all bunched together.  Today I am going to try a format where I create a posting for each individual meme.

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:   Since Spring is around the corner, what is your favorite thing about this season?
     I have 2.  First is to see my daffodils and tulips start to bloom and the second is to open up the windows and let the fresh air in and smell the scents of spring.

Thursday

Photobucket

I look forward to and enjoy taking part in daily memes.  Great way to find new blogs and find it to be really fun.  I usually have a minimum of two a day except for Friday, which will be 4 this week !!   However, on Thursday, I only have one meme.  Does anyone know of other fun memes for Thursday?  If so, would you let me know please.  Thanx

Today’s question:
How do you feel about illustrations in your books? Graphs? Photos? Sketches?
  It would depend on the book.  If it is a reference book, then absolutely would need illustrations, such as how-to, text, cook, children’s, “coffee table”, etc. books.  For the books that I enjoy, fiction, then no.  When I read,  and as part of the enjoyment for me, is to take the writer’s words and use my imagination to make the story come alive.
  Do you have a preference?  Leave a comment and/or join in on the fun.  Link to this meme is above.
