Blog Hop Fridays!

Happy Thanksgiving to all Canadians!

I would like to wish everyone who lives in Canada a blessed and happy Thanksgiving on Monday.  I am looking forward to a fantastic long weekend at the trailer, even though we are closing it for the season after this weekend (sob, sob!).  I am debating whether to cook my turkey on the BBQ or do a beer-can type turkey over the open fire as it's only a small turkey.  My parents and in-laws aren't coming down until the end of the month to celebrate so it will just be hubby, kiddies, and myself.  I am looking forward to Friday and some relaxation time.  And of course, some reading time.

Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jennifer @ Crazy For Books.  It's a great way to visit blogs you already follow if you've been too busy during the week, to visit new blogs and to see the exciting things that bloggers are doing, and to have a chance to discuss our favourite topic, books.

If you are interested in participating, you must have part of your blog devoted in some way to books, including but not exclusive to, book reviews.  So head on over to Jennifer's blog and see what this is all about!


Question:  What's your favourite beverage while reading or blogging, if any? Is it tea, coffee, water, a glass of wine, or something else?

Answer:  It really depends on the time of day and my mood.  Usually during the day, it is water, once in a while I like to have a Diet RootBeer.  At night, I like my one cup of Chamomile Tea before going to bed as I read as I find it relaxing. 



Follow Friday, hosted by Parajunkee's View, is another great blog hop.  To participate in this one, you must follow the host blog and the special guest (This week it's seducedbybooks.blogspot.com.), but otherwise you are free to follow whomever you wish.  Just leave a comment and have fun!

Question:  How many reviews do you like to do in a week?

Answer: I have never set myself a prescribed amount of reviews in a week.  I just post a review whenever I feel like posting a review or if I am reading something for a publisher or an author who wishes a posted review.  To prescribe a certain amount of reviews every week would take the fun out of blogging for me and I don't think I would enjoy it as much as I do.  Sometimes I don't even post reviews for books that I have read.  I am even thinking of getting back into book clubs as I miss the continuous discussion of books.


Don't forget to check out my Hallowe'en candle giveaway,


Have a great weekend everyone, and happy reading!

  1. Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for the reminder, while I am not Canadian I have several friends who are. I'll have to send them my well wishes. I found you on the hop and am now following. I really like the look of your blog. You are so good with your choice of beverage. Mine are often loaded with caffeine.

  25. Just hoppin' on by! <3 I'm a new follower! :)

    Mmm chamomile <33

    I don't normally drink while reading; I'm afraid of spills! But when I write reviews, I must, must, MUST have a cold glass of Very Vanilla Soymilk with me. It's weird, I know, but I can't write one without it! :P
