Book Beginnings on Friday, The Friday 56 and Book Blogger Hop (23 July 2021)

 

Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted every Friday by Rose City Reader where you share the first sentence (or couple of sentences) from your current read. The Friday 56 is also hosted every Friday by Frida's Voice where you share a sentence or two from page 56 or 56% into your current read.

Beginning:
"How in the world did a common, everyday exclamation come to be so associated with me? "Oh My!" truly has become my signature."

Page 56:
"As we approached $100,000 I told the fans that I would do something special if we got there: my "Happy Dance" - something normally Brad only gets the privilege of seeing."


The Book Blogger Hop was created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and moved to Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer in February 2013. Each week starting on Friday there will be a prompt featuring a book-related question with the purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.

This week's prompt, submitted by Julie @ Stepping Stones Book Reviews, is:

Have you ever done the classics club challenge? If not, would you want to?

I haven't officially taken part yet. I've been swithering over joining in. I do have my own list of classics that I would like to read written in a notebook that I'm working my way through. As I've only recently re-started blogging, I might wait a few months (or until the New Year) to start joining in on the long-term challenges again.

    1. It's actually pretty good! Focuses a lot on his use of Twitter and Facebook though.

  3. I associate "oh my" with Fifty Shades of Grey. Yikes! Very glad to hear there is a much better book and person behind the expression.

    Thanks for visiting us earlier!

    1. I can't remember "oh my" being in Fifty Shades, however, it has been a long time since I went near those books! It's very interesting reading about George's take on Twitter and Facebook.

Top Ten Tuesday: New to Me Authors 2015

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by  The Broke and The Bookish . This week's topic is a top ten new to me authors of 2015. I have read so many new to me authors this year and it's been brilliant! I'm not sure if I can limit this list to only 10!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I'd Love Santa to Leave for Me

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by  The Broke and The Bookish . This week's topic is the top ten books I wouldn't mind Santa leaving under my tree. Really I'd welcome all books under the tree but these are ones that I've seen around a lot or recently.

Feature and Follow (29 May)

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of  Parajunkee’s View  and Alison of  Alison Can Read . Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs! I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Along with Amanda of  The Darling Bookworm . This week’s Question: How many books have you got on your TBR list? I recently had a bit of a cull of my TBR list so now it is sitting at 269. I'm trying my hardest to get it below 200 by the end of the year but I really don't see it happening. I'd currently be happy if I managed to get it below 225. However, I did recently have a look through my TBR on Goodreads and deleted a few books that I don't think I will actually ever read - I'm not even to sure how they got there anyway.
