Sharing Beyond Books #103 Comment Giveaway June 8, 2013

Hello again on Saturday night and Welcome to SBB, Sharing Beyond Books.

How is everyone doing this week?  My week was good; not completely easy but no major stresses.

Thank you to all who shared last week.

I found it interesting that fewer than half of the commenters had book damage from pets. 10 had no damage and another 4 had no pets to cause damage. :-) That left 11 with damage and that included MaryP's daughter who slobbered on a book. LOL. Bookishqueen and Diamond, and I imagine others too, have pets who sit or lie on the books. Our pets can really be jealous can't they?

I think the worst damage was to LindaK who almost lost a thumb breaking up a dog fight. But several people have had major wall, floor and couch damage. And there were some funny items: Ricki's puppy dragged glitter through the house; Di's dog tried to make off with the roast and Meghan's dog attacked the mail. Pets are wonderful creatures!

WEEK #103 Questions

Q1. Miki asks: When you love an author or a series do you want to own all the version of the books (ex: Us version, Uk one or french, spanish etc, hardback and paperback etc) to have all the different covers or do you buy only one??

A: I have ocassionally thought I would like to buy a book in print after enjoying the audio. But I didn't get them. So- no, I don't buy multiple versions. But I do like to collect a series.

Q2. My non-bookish Question this week: What is the most unusual pet you or your family has ever owned??

A: We had a farm we called "Almost a Ranch." We had horses, pigs, chickens and the billy goat. But the most unusual I think was our two African Geese, Floppsie and Moppsie. They were beautiful but scary as watch 'dogs.' If a stranger came through the gate and the geese were in the front yard they would charge with their wings open -- and those wings are strong!

OH! We also had a peacock that would court our chickens! He was beautiful too with his strange cry. He would rustle when he danced for the hens, but he had wicked spurs. Wish I had our own pictures to share.

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!
