Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee. It's a great way to meet new blogger friends!
This weeks question is:
Q. What do I do when I am not reading?A.Well, I have three kids, and I'm a stay at home mom, so they pretty much take up most of my time. :) But when they are not requiring my full attention, and I'm not reading, I do quite a few things. I blog, I crochet (badly), I recycle (alot), sometimes I watch TV. But most of the time, I read. I lead a very boring life, and I'm ok with that! :)
Book Blogger Hop #20
Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Crazy-For-Books.com. It's a great way to meet new people and friends around the blogworld!
Q. How/Where do you get your books? Do you buy them or go to the library? Is there a certain website you use like paperbackswap?
A. I get my books from a lot of different places. A lot come from the library, a lot from Netgalley, and some in the mail. I love PaperBackSwap.com, I have gotten SO many great books from there. We also have some awesome used book stores in our area, and I get a lot from them as well.
I also wanted to congratulate the winner of The Goddess Test giveaway! The winner, chosen via Random.org is...
Jessica @ A Great Read! Congratulations Jessica!
Thanks for stopping by everyone! Please leave a comment with your link so I can follow you back!
I don't think I'd ever be able to crochet! So you'd be better then me! :)
ReplyDeleteYou and me both, sister. LOL! I'm itching for classes to begin again so I can get out of the house with more regularity.

I have a pretty boring life too--but I'm pretty happy AND I have books so it's all good.
ReplyDeleteReading is not boring! It's the best. =)

Hopping through. I'd like to learn to crochet some day. I can knit, but never figured out crochet.

I feel like I live a boring life as well, and I'm fine with that too. I've never really been the social butterfly. Problem with me is I never know what to do. I feel like I should be social. I'm only 23, I feel like a failure of my generation sometimes.
ReplyDeleteOther times I feel like I stand out from my generation because I don't do what I "should". Whatever that is.
Here's my Friday Hops
Have a GREAT weekend!

I guess that means I'm boring too. I wish I could crochet though! Or quilt. I've wanted to learn how to make a quilt, but I don't know the first thing about sewing. :)

I'm usually working if I'm not reading. Occasionally, I clean the house.

Mothering is not boring! I have 3 blogs so I am blogging all the time too...or I will be if I can get my 3rd one going. lol Old Follower!
ReplyDeleteI am not a new follower, but I recently re-organized my blog and some of the blogs I accidentally ignore got bummed to the top.
ReplyDeleteSo, when I am not reading and on vacation, one thing I do in my uneventful life is organize.
I am not bored really. In fact, I am always busy even though I do not seem run around like most people I know.

Nice answers! I feel like I'm pretty boring sometimes, too. Taking care of kids just lets you do different fun things. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Netgalley and Galley Grab. Free books are always nice!
Happy Friday.
Congrats to Jessica!!
ReplyDeleteMy FF & TGIF Post!
I love your blog it is so cute! You sound like me stay at home mom, blah blah! You can find my posts at: http://nrheartdragonsden.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to let you know, I tried to follow on NetworkedBlogs and it is saying that your blog doesn't exists. I followed on GFC tho!
I lead a boring life, too, and am just fine with it! Hopped through via the Book Blogger Hop!
ReplyDeleteI have never used paperbackswap.com, I will have to check it out and see if they are only in the US. It sounds like you're kept pretty busy! Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI like how you said you are okay with your boring life. Somehow, I don't think your life is boring with three kids.
ReplyDeleteOld follower stopping by! Great answers! Happy Friday and check out my blog hops post on my blog!

Happy Friday! I'm a new follower from the book blogger hop :)

I've always wanted to crochet. Don't really know why, it just applies to me.
ReplyDeleteI never really thought about it until you wrote "recycle" that recycling isn't really an option, it's just the norm here. We have different bins for the different types of garbage and we're refunded money when we bring bottles back. It's strange when I think it's different everywhere else.
Three kids and you do all of the above, hats off :-)
Have a great weekend and happy reading!
Two years ago I started tracking where my books were coming from. Please come see where I get my books.
ReplyDeleteHa! I feel like I leave a boring life too. Sometimes I'm okay with it and others times I'm not. It depends on the fun activities my husband gets to do at the time if I'm content or not.
ReplyDeleteThree kids? They must keep you so busy :)

I was thinking about learning to knit to relax. How is crocheting? Hi! Just stopping by. Following you from Follow My Book Blog Friday Blog Hop. Would love a visit and a follow back on my blog: http://blog.writerslairbooks.com. Thanks! Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are a busy woman. Taking care of 3 young ones cannot be dull or boring. :-) I'm sure there is always something going on ie: fights, drama, etc.
