Sharing Beyond Books #41 Comment Giveaway March 24, 2012

Hi SBB friends. I am feeling almost relaxed tonight - I had a busy week but seemed to accomplish a lot. I hope everyone else had a good week too. :-)

Thank you to all those who commented last week.
We picked various sidekicks although several of us liked Roarke :-), two liked Hermione, two liked Bear Grylls (a survivor's choice!) and three picked family members! Mystica and Rikki picked their husbands and marybelle picked her daughter. That is rather cool and a nice idea.

Only one other person, Faith Hope CherryTea, has been to a book conference.That is unfortunate that there aren't opportunities for those overseas. Aik and Jane have been to book fairs. I was thinking about asking about author signings in a future question but two included that in their answers (marybelle and miki). Sarah is going to BEA this year! Hmm that is in June...maybe there is still time for me to plan to go too!

The Winner from SBB #40 comments is: #9 Sarah. There are still 8 'love' books to pick from and 2 Christmas choices. Sarah please let me know if you want a GC (if you are international) or choose a book from the remaining Love Books List for Giveaway, remaining Christmas Giveaway Books, OR pick from the ARC box and let me know your choice, your address and a choice of bookmarks by completing the WINNER FORM.

WEEK #41 Questions

Q1. This week Margaret asks: Are there books that you would not read in print or e reader but would listen to on audio??

A:  There are many books I love to listen to on audio. I think I choose to listen to longer books and series like: Maria J. Snyder's Study series - then I wanted to buy the books. :-) So far I have listened to all Carriger's Parasol Protectorate and all of  Briggs' Mercy Thompson series on audio. I plan to listen to all of the J.D. Robb Eve Dallas series on audio as well.  These three pictured are on my next listen list!

Q2. My question is not really book related this week: Do you have a hobby other than reading??

A:  I used to have other hobbies but between the publishing work and the review blog I have no time left for a hobby. :-( But if I had more time I might do a little more gardening  - I used to have Bonsai - or I might do a little needlepoint as I have some unfinished projects!

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. Margaret asks: Are there books that you would not read in print or e reader but would listen to on audio??
