This week's question comes from Aliyah who blogs at Des Absurdités:
"What book are you most looking forward to seeing published in 2011? Why are you anticipating that book?"
I just read a fabulous review for a book that is coming out in February called:

Father of Lies by Ann Turner
Synopsis is taken from Goodreads.com
Truth or Lies?
Lidda knew, with a clarity that was like a candle in a dark room, that all had changed; something was loosed in the village—Devil or not—and they would pay for it, every last man, woman, and child. Fourteen-year-old Lidda has always known she was different. She longs to escape Salem Village and its stifling rules—to be free to dance, to sing, to live as she chooses. But when a plague of accusations descends on the village and witch fever erupts, L idda begins to realize that she feels and sees things that others can't, or won't. But how will she expose the truth without being hung as a witch herself?
Does this one sound like a page turner or what?
I immediately put it on my wish list.
Have a great weekend and don't forget to enter my "Down with Clowns" giveaway. Contest ends February 1st!
Happy Hopping!!!

BOOK BLOGGER HOP & GIVEAWAY!

IT'S FRIDAY!

Lets have a little fun!

Welcome to this week's Book Blogger Hop hosted by Jennifer at Crazy For Books. This week's question is:

"What book influenced or changed your life? How did it influence/change you?"

It's so hard to pick just one! There are so many great books out there! So after going back in my memory bank I will have to choose IT by Stephen King. I read it in high school and I was immediately scarred for life and will forever be terrified of clowns!

Has anyone else had this experience reading his books??

Leave a comment, become a follower and you will be entered in a Mug of Moxie Giveaway "Down With Clowns" for a copy of this terrifying book. If your not scared of clowns you soon will be!

HOPPING THE WEEKEND AWAY!

ANOTHER AWESOME BOOK HOP!
A big thanks to Jennifer at Crazy for Books.
She hosts this super fun meme every Friday called the Book Blogger Hop. Through it I've been able to find some super cool Book Blogs to follow.
Here are a few of my favorites:
**Jess Hearts Books
**A Myriad of Books
**proseandkahn
**Do not disturb my books
**Books are a girls best friend
**Buried in Books
**A Tapestry of Words

This week's question comes from Becky who blogs at Becky's Barmy Book Blog:
"Where is your favorite place to read?

Curled up on the sofa, in bed, in the garden?"

My answer:

Comfy and Cozy in my bed-wrapped in my favorite blanket-pajamas on-lavendar candle lit. Of course none of this happens until the kids are in bed and husband is distracted with TV in living room. But a girl can wish, can't she?

BOOK BLOGGER HOP!

IT'S FRIDAY.....

IT'S TIME TO HOP!!

I hope you have all properly stretched-because it's all fun and games until someone pulls a groin muscle!

Now...get ready to hop!

The Book Blogger Hop is a super fun weekly event hosted by the super cool Jennifer of http://crazy-for-books.com/

Join the fun by following the link to her blog. This week's question is-

When you write reviews, do you write them as you are reading or wait until you have read the entire book?

I write them after I read them but usually take notes or jot down a great line I want to remember. And I try to write the review before I pick up another book just so I don't forget details I want to share. I can't wait to read what other bloggers do-I'm always looking for new or fresh ideas.

And why you're here don't forget to enter my-OMG!! ANOTHER GIVEAWAY!!! I'm giving away 3 SCARY BOOKS to celebrate Halloween! Check it out!

BOOK BLOGGER HOP!!

IT'S FRIDAY!!!

I LOVE Fridays and I LOVE this meme which is hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books.

Every week I find fabulous blogs to follow and super cool books to add to my leaning tower of TBR books. Come join the fun. Follow the link and add your blog. It's A Book Hopping Good Time! AND DON'T FORGET to enter my GIVEAWAY for a copy of MOCKINGJAY. Even if you own a copy yourself it would make a great gift to a friend or an awesome donation to your school or public library!

This week's question:

Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?
A great question and the answer is no. I have yet to come up with a rating system that screams "Tammy! You must use me because I am perfect, genius and I fit your personality and blog to a tee!" Maybe I'm putting the bar to high? Not sure. I would love to come up with something in the future-but it doesn't keep me up at nights. I can't wait to see how other bloggers answer this question. Maybe I'll get some ideas and inspiration.

Have a great weekend fellow bloggers!

How many books do you have on your 'to be read shelf’?
Approx. 57 in my book shelf by my bed-these will be read hopefully by the end of this year for the 100 Book Challenge that I'm participating in. Of course that's not counting the books that are in plastic protective storage boxes in my garage. Hee Hee

This week's question: Do you listen to music when you read? If so, what are your favorite reading tunes?

When I'm reading I seem to block out every single noise around me-TV, kids, husband, etc. I believe it's a super power....so to answer the question-if there was music I wouldn't hear it.
