Friday Hop & Follow

 The Friday Follow is hosted by Parajunkee's View every week. I love participating as I always discover new blogs.

This week's question comes from the featured blog "Another Book Junkie:

Do you have an un-noticed author that you think we all should know about?

Janice Hardy! She's still fairly new and only has two books out but I loved them both.

Truly worth reading.

The Blogger Hop is hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books.
This week's question comes from Angela at Library Girl Reads:

"What is the thing you like most about reading book blogs? Is it the reviews, author guest posts, articles, giveaways, or something else entirely?"


All of the above! I love reading reviews (as long as they don't give too much away) I also love when bloggers share a bit about themselves and their life as well.

What about you?
Have a great weekend and happy hopping!

300!

It's hard to believe that I've reached 300 followers! To celebrate I'm hosting a giveaway. It's international (wherever Book Depository delivers). A book of your choice (under 20.00 Canadian) goes to the winner.

Since it's a celebration of followers, you must be a follower to enter. Bonus entry to all those who were a follower before today. Entries will be accepted until Sunday December 12th at midnight.

Thanks so much to everyone, I love this book blogging community!

Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature hosted by Breaking the Spine.

My selection this week is inspired by the snow we've received this week:

Summary from goodreads

The day the blizzard started, no one knew that it was going to keep snowing for a week. That for those in its path, it would become not just a matter of keeping warm, but of staying alive....

Scotty and his friends Pete and Jason are among the last seven kids at their high school waiting to get picked up that day, and they soon realize that no one is coming for them. Still, it doesn't seem so bad to spend the night at school, especially when distractingly hot Krista and Julie are sleeping just down the hall. But then the power goes out, then the heat. The pipes freeze, and the roof shudders. As the days add up, the snow piles higher, and the empty halls grow colder and darker, the mounting pressure forces a devastating decision...

This is very different from a lot of the books I've read lately.....different can be good though, right?

Favourite Places to Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the fab Broke and The Bookish

This weeks list highlights our top ten favourite places to read.

I found this one to be a bit of a challenge as there are only a couple of places I read on a regular basis, but I did find a few pictures of spots where I'd love to read...

The places where I generally read aren't nearly as glamorous :

1. A chair I have in front of our fireplace
2. The couch
3. Bed, though I don't often read there as I tend to fall asleep
4. In the staff room on my break/dinner

My favourite place to read is in the Library, when I'm reading stories to the children and the families that attend. There is nothing like sharing a book with all of them.

One more (dreamy)place where I'd like to read:

Anywhere he is...don't know if you can see me but I'm just behind Damon reading in the

library over his left shoulder. :)
