Sharing Beyond Books #117 Comment Giveaway 9/14/13

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

I hope everyone had a good week as the weather starts to change. :-) I was busy with some travel to court hearings this week - good listening time. Today I have been slogging along, home bound with a yucky flu/cold that my DH was so sweet to share with me. :-(

Five people always finish. At least eight of us "rarely" do not finish. Everyone tries to give the books a chance through 50 pages or a couple of chapters and some will try more than once to get through.

Only five of 25 have attended a rally, most in college but at least one, Fredamans, for a traffic safety issue. Mary P says she could see attending one on an issue of importance. Two people have written letters or signed petitions.

Thank you to all who shared last week.

WEEK #117

Q1. Mary P asks: Do you still borrow books from a library? and Liss asks: How many books do you get from the library when you visit??

A: Sad to say I have not been to the library for several years. I have enough books on my TBR shelves, my Kindle and my Audible library to last a long time.

Q2. My non-bookish Question: Have you ever visited jail other than on tour??

A: I didn't want to put anyone on the spot by asking "have you ever been in jail?" :-) I have visited jail several times even though I never did criminal law. I worked on an Appeals project for a few years and would visit inmates at a women's prison.  Also I have visited jail a few times when our choir has gone in for special performances. Getting through those double doors can be rather alarming.

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 are getting low on questions so hopefully you will send more in -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify to use.
