Enquiring Minds Want to Know Meme

I was visiting Debbie's Book Bag and found a new meme she is participating in. It is hosted by Dollycas's Thoughts.

Read More about it at Dollycas's blog but the goal is to get to know our fellow bloggers and visitors better. Each week Dolly asks some questions for us to answer and then link up.

I love the idea but whether I will have the time and energy each week to post remains to be seen. The meme is set for Thursdays and I may well be crunched for time mid week.

This is week 7 and here goes:

WEEK 7 QUESTIONS 
1.  What is your favorite pizza topping?
I guess I would have to say bacon.  I love bacon.  My DH made an awesome white pizza last week with white cheeses, onion, bacon and a little pit of fresh tomato.  YUM!  I found this picture of a brie and bacon pizza online and a recipe that goes with it:
I will have to get this recipe to hubby.

2.  If you could give up one household chore forever, what would it be?
To be honest I don't clean as much as I should. When I do clean I start dusting from the top, work down, move every piece of furniture and then vacuum after dusting.  You can see that takes a while and that's why it doesn't get done as often as it should. But I don't mind doing that.  I'd say the chore I least like is cleaning toilets. Thanks to my retired DH - he handles that chore!!  I bet he'd like this brush to use.  BTW- Cleaning the cat litter box falls in this category I could do without too!

3.  What is your favorite kind of music? 
I don't listen to much music since I usually have my nose in a book or earphones from my Kindle or Audible books in my ears and the Audiobooks on in the car.  That said I love all kinds of music EXCEPT heavy metal.  I guess if I had to pick one though I would go with praise and worship as it's good for my soul. :)

Now that you know more about me feel free to share about yourself and, if you would like, join the meme every week. So, as Dollycas says, we can all get to know each other better and get the answers to all the questions 
Enquiring Minds Want To Know!!

Winner of Pick My Next Read #1 October 2010 - Plus Pick #2

By majority vote (not surprising) the winning commenter will get to pick a book from my back review books and ARCs which I will add to from time to time with some other books as they get past the first couple months of release. I forgot my camera today so I had to take temporary pics with my phone. Here are pictures of the box of the ARC and Review book that the winner can pick from or, if preferred, the winner can pick a book from the Friday Pick lists.
THESE ARE ALL ARCs
I was hoping I wouldn't have to list them but they don't show up well in the picture so:
Breakfast in Bed
The Christmas Clock
Damage Control
Deadly Codes this is in wrong box as it is not an ARC
Fallen
Getting Lucky
Seduced by the Wolf
Soul Catcher
Truly, Madly: A Novel
Wicked Intentions (Maiden Lane)
The Wild Irish Sea

THESE ARE REVIEW BOOKS (Or one or two spares)



Between Sundays

The book I am currently reading is Between Sundays by Karen Kingsbury as I almost forgot it is our Ladies Book Club book for Saturday morning! It is truly a wonderful read.
