Hops & Follows

This week's Follow Friday and Book Blogger Hop...


Q: It's circle time. Time for us to open up and share. Can you tell us FIVE quirky habits or things about you? We all have them...

1. I'm currently in the strange predicament of reading 4 books simultaneously. Why is that a strange predicament? I'm an one-book-at-a-time kind of girl.

2. I have a soft spot for reality shows. American Idol and the Bachelor/Bachelorette are my favourites.

3. I worry about everything. I even worry that I worry too much.

4. After a childhood of big dog breeds, I think it's time to get a little pup of my own. One day I hope to have a King Charles Cavalier Cocker Spaniel.

5. I can't wait for Lady Gaga's new CD to come out next week!



Book Blogger Hop

Q: If you were given the chance to spend one day in a fictional world, which book would it be from and what would that place be?

I feel like I've answered this question in a Hop before... anyone else have a sense of deja vu?

I'm going to stick with my original answer to this question, and say the world of Harry Potter. I would love to enter a completely different world infused with magic... and still have the chance to visit muggles.

    I am the biggest worry-wart, I am constantly worrying about everything but because I worry so much I have to be in charge of things (organising holidays etc) so at least I know that I've done everything that needs to be done!

    As for dogs, ours have always been on the small side. Pikengese and shih tzu mostly. And anyone who calls Piks or shih tzus ugly is absolutely crazy!!! Our boys and girls have always been beautiful and have had wonderful personality! Thanks for stopping by my blog, and I'm following you now,

    I worry, worry, worry too, and like you I worry about worrying. My friends think it's hilarious, especially when it comes end of the semester and I'm trying to write my papers, take my finals, and grade for my students. I stress and worry,and worry, and worry I'm not worrying enough! ;)

    Thanks for stopping by and saying hello this morning. I'm a new follower!! Here's my FF.

    I love food based reality shows. Like Top Chef and Chopped and the Food Network Challenges. They are pure awesomeness. The funny thing is, I hate cooking. But I love watching it.

    I did think about Harry Potter as my place of visit, but then thought about the amazing scenery and adventure in Eragon that I had to choose there.

    I worry a lot as well - you're not alone! I often get really stressed about the silliest things. Most recently, I couldn't sleep because I was worried about getting an injection at the dentist's!

    Thanks for stopping by on the hop, Ms. C! I agree - worrying has taken over my life too! But board games are the best. I've taken to playing scrabble on my phone so I can play with relatives and friends everywhere! It's the best :)

    "I worry about everything. I even worry that I worry too much."

    That is just too funny. I even worry about all the time I waste worrying, most of which is not necessary.

    Oh, I completely know how it is with the worrying to much and starting to worry that you're worrying to much... Talk about thinking in circles, huh.

    Interesting list. :D I'm a new follower! My quirky list can be found here!

    Hi! You know what? I don't really like Lady Gaga that much, but when I sing, I usually sing her songs because they sound the best on me :D And I'm a big worrier too, sometimes I even worry that my worrying might someday get to me.

    Anyway, thanks for dropping by my blog and for the follow! I'm your newest follower too!

    Have a great weekend!

    Sorry for the mistake in the above post. I had to delete because instead of saying "I'm now a follower of yours" I said "I'm not a follower of yours!"

    Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog yesterday, I just rescued your comment from my spam comments section just now. So hopped over to say thanks for visiting yesterday, and sorry for the delay in responding!

    Harry Potter, FTW. I love king charles spaniels. I'm big dog fan at heart, having a german shepherd mutt, but if I were to get a small dog, a cocker spaniel or king charles spaniel. My friend loves lady gaga. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

I love comments...
Almost as much as I love coffee.

All puns put aside, I really do adore the comments you ever-so-kindly post. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and leave a few words. I love hearing your view on the topic!
