Sharing Beyond Books #35 Comment Giveaway February 11, 2011

Welcome to another late SBB. We just had a rush trip to south Florida. DH drove so he took the brunt of it but it was still rushed.

Thank you to all those who commented last week.
The large majority of us would choose to be a millionaire in the 1800s. Only Krystal was willing to be a cavewoman for partial choice. :-)

I was surprised by how many of you don't keep lists although several said they thought it might be a good time to start. At least nine of you keep your list on Goodreads and other online group lists. That seems like a good idea.  Miki started her list at the young age of 8!

WEEK #35 Questions

Q1. This week Margaret asks:  When downloading those freebies in a series do you actually buy the sequel??

A:  If I like the first in a series I will almost always end up buying the next... I do love a good series! Also, sometimes the freebee is book #2 and I have to get #1 as I don't like to start mid series.

I wanted to think of an example: I got Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater last summer as a free download from SYNC YA Listening at AudioBook Community.  I have purchased Linger and Forever on Audible since.  I hope to listen to Forever soon!

Q2. Here is my question: Do you have special plans for Valentines or do you hope to get a special gift??

A:  We are looking forward to our church youth sponsored Valentine's dinner tomorrow night. No special gift is expected although my DH usually gets me some flowers and/or makes me a nice dinner. Chocolates are nice too but we are trying to diet so maybe not this year.

Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask.  Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form.  At the end of each month I will draw from the suggestions I used the month before and that person will get a book choice or GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions but some of you others might want to get in a question or two as we have a few people submitting most of the questions so far.  Either way - it works for me. :-)  The question list is being replenished!  Thanks for sending in questions! 

Your turn to share:

1. This week Margaret asks:  When downloading those freebies in a series do you actually buy the sequel??
