If You’re Ever In Town… (Crazy Blog Hop)

Book Blogger Hop

I really like this week’s question from the Hop: "Which book blogger would you most like to meet in real life?"

I didn’t know how to narrow it down to just one. I decided to let everyone know about four bloggers, all of whom I follow and enjoy.

I’d really like to meet John Mutford at the Book Mine Set. I don’t know if/when that’ll happen since John’s way up there in the Northwest Territories.

Even though I’m not sure of her real name, I would like to meet Teacher from Whatcha Readin’, Books? We just seem to have really similar reading tastes and especially to dish over Stephen King.

I’d also like to meet Red, from What Read Red. I just always seem to end up on her blog!

Finally, I’d want to meet Mayowa from Pens with Cajones. He hasn’t posted in a while, but that’s because he’s working on his own writing!

It really was difficult to pick. There are so many great and interesting bloggers out there that I’d like to meet. My Google Reader is full of them. Who would you like to meet?

Back and Stylish

I’ve been awarded the Stylish Blog Award by Teacher/Learner at Whatcha Readin’, Books? Thank you! For just over a month now, I’ve been out of the blogosphere. It’s nice to know that I’ve been missed. So what’s kept me away from blogging for the last little while? Two words, my friends, Morning Sickness. That’s right. My husband and I are expecting our second baby this summer. I’m hoping that with the second trimester now starting, I’ll get back to my usual blogging pace and back to life in general. That is, until the baby is born and life gets turned upside-down all over again.

Back to my lovely, first award ever! Here are the rules:

- Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them in your post.
- Tell us 5 things about yourself.
- Award 5 super-stylish bloggers this award
- Contact those bloggers and let them know they have won.

I did the first thing (thanks again!)

Five things about myself:

1. I already told you one thing; it’s baby time again!
2. My average novels read per year is just over 50.
3. I majored in English and philosophy.
4. My favourite movies are probably Dirty Dancing and The Fifth Element.
5. My toddler doesn’t say, “blueberries”, she says, “boobies”. I’m serious. I guess that’s not really something about me, but I think it’s hilarious and I have to tell everyone.

Five Stylish Bloggers:

2. Lydia at The Lost Entwife
4. Brenna at Literary Musings
5. Robbie at Pink Sheep Café

They are five different blogs with intersesting reading tastes, review styles and looks. I enjoy them all.

I have a few posts on the go. I hope to have them up soon. I’d also like to get back into participating in the memes I enjoy so much. I’ll probably not do every meme, every week. My participation will likely be part topic based and partly based on how yucky I’m feeling. Yay Babies!
