Sharing Beyond Books #123 Comment Giveaway 10/26/13

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

Hey everyone!  Today was a relaxing sort of Saturday even though I did work in office this afternoon. I slept late, woke up and read a bit. My kind of morning!

We all agreed that talking on the cell phone at dinner or special events is rude. Emergencies are excepted but even then it is polite to get up and leave the table for just a quick call. Most of us also agreed texting at such times is also rude but Ricki and Nikki noted some exceptions there: sending out a quick phone image of the event/table and when the Bride and Groom specifically request instantgrams!

Six commenters always read all the back material and eleven of us read parts of the back material, sometimes but not all, always. :-)

Thank you to all who shared last week.

The Winner from SBB #122 comments is: #1 Becky (I think you've had a winning week!) 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 (new) WINNER FORM.

WEEK #123

Q1. Miki asks: What was the best book contest you have ever won??

A: That would be back in December 2008/January 2009 when I won my first Kindle from Author Island Christmas Scavenger Hunt! When I received it in Spring 2009 is when I really started doing book reviews. :-)

(That is an old contest so don't waste time checking it out.

Q2. My non-bookish Question this week: Ok - last year we shared our favorite part of Halloween season. Many of us said the candy. I couldn't let this Halloween pass without asking something so the Q is: What is the one (or if you must two) most favorite candy(ies) to get at Halloween??

A: There can be different candies at different times of year so this IS intended for Halloween. Although I do like the little packages of Smarties I will pick chocolate - and my favorite Halloween Chocolate would be Reese's Peanut Butter cups. Yum. (Then again, I wouldn't turn down the pictured bowl of goodies!)

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.
Oh - Just realized this is the last week for October! So October Comments were submitted by: Becky, Elizabeth L, Marjorie and Miki. The Random pick winner for book/credit is: #3Marjorie!
