Sharing Beyond Books #98 Comment Giveaway May 4, 2013

Hello; Welcome to SBB, Sharing Beyond Books.

Hi Friends. Happy Saturday night again! Yes it is Spring but a wet week for many. And Snow in the midwest! Yikes!
This was another strange work week with staff shortage. Aargh!
Thank you to all who shared last week.

We have a wide variety of favorite reading genres among us although the strongest groups mentioned were fantasy and romances. I am glad Holly explained that Shoujo is "a type of manga or graphic novel aimed at young women." I would have had to look that one up. There were several authors mentioned I don't know and soon I am going to do a giveaway post for you guys to pick a new author for me to read the next month. :-)

Good for the majority of you who have your email in boxes under control. Lacey may have a smaller number but even that is out of control when you aren't used to it. I wish my was even "tidal" as nrlymrtl said but I can imagine the 14K with mariska cause that is where mine is too! :-( [Oh - and thank you to several of you for your encouragement on my blog-- so sweet for you to say so.]

The Winner from SBB #97 comments is: #5 Holly who can make a GC choice if international or book choice from the ARC/Review titles, Christmas titles or Love titles - all linked near the end of the post.  Please let me know your choice by completing the WINNER FORM.

WEEK #98 Questions

Q1. Gwen asks:  What is your favorite genre of music??

A: I thought this might have been asked but it is not in my spreadsheet so it's fair game. I rarely listen to music since I almost always have a book going (print, Kindle reading outloud or MP3 Audiobook). If I were to put on music or sing to myself it would be praise and worship. If others are playing music I prefer 'easy listening' - maybe cause its my generation?

Q2. My bookish Question this week: Can you think of a "Famous" or well known Author you have never read??

A: There are many for me but two jump to mind. Stephanie Meyer since I have not read the Twilight books and really don't plan to.  And although I started one book by the very prolific author, Danielle Steel, I never finished and have not read any other of her novels

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 draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a book choice or GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! We can always use fresh questions. I do have a group of questions from the same submitters so if you have a question don't be afraid to ask!
