A Bit Of Me

SATURDAY

Photobucket
Hosted by Danielle at There’s A Book

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: 
Because BEA is happening I’m breaking the “no book rule” and asking you to share your top 3 books you are looking forward to reading in the coming year.

  First I hope that everyone that was able to attend the BEA, are having a really fun time, meeting bloggers, authors, publishers and publicists that they speak to everyday from behind a screen and are now getting to see face to face.  I can’t wait to hear about their experiences.    When I heard about this event last year, I was a newbie but thought that if I was still having the fun and enjoying this new world that I had found, I may consider attending this year.  But then the surgery, and then the complications and limitations from the spinal procedures, and knew, that I would not be able to go.  I would never be able to walk the distances or stand the length of time that I have read that is needed.  Maybe some day!!!  Putting that goal on my Bucket List!!

 
  OK…back to today’s meme question:
  Another tough question from Danielle.  I guess the top three shelves of my bookcase isn’t what she means when she asks “share your top 3 books”.   But that is exactly what I wish I could read.
  But I will play along with the rules as best I can lol.  I have 2 in my possession and one I know is in the works but not sure of when it will be published or even the title.

What about you?  Can you name your 3 top books?  It’s a hard question, isn’t it? Hmmm….. thinking that today’s question is going to add to our ever growing tbr lists!!!

Friday Memes

FRIDAY
Photobucket
Hosted by An Island Life 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:
Profession, career, job?
MY ANSWER:
Presently medically disabled, retired RN
Was fortunate to be a SAHM when my boys were young.
Book Blogger Hop
Hosted by Jennifer from CRAZY FOR BOOKS
 In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and find new book-related blogs that we may be missing out on! This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed! So, grab the logo, post about the Hop on your blog, and start HOPPING through the list of blogs that are posted in the Linky list below!!
Your blog should have content related to books, including, but not limited to book reviews.


Today’s question:
“What book-to-movie adaption have you most liked? Which have you disliked?”

My answer:
Sad to say I am not a movie type person.  I can’t even honestly say the last time I watched a movie.  I would rather create the visualizations or “movie” in my mind as I read the book.  However, over this past year of reviewing and blogging, there are some books that I have read that if a movie was to be made, I would be curious and might just watch it..
