Let’s Get This Party Started!

Posted 3 December, 2010 by Danny in / 0 Comments

It’s Friday and it’s the first weekend in December! So, let’s celebrate with some Blog Love and Networking!

Each week there is a new question to answer, which is fun and also helps to get to know each other better, so here’s this weeks question is from Marce @ Tea Time with Marce

What very popular and hyped book in the blogosphere did you NOT enjoy and how did you feel about posting your review?
(Danny steps in to answer this question….)

Been there – done that. Well, actually first one of my first reviews here were about “Wings” and I just couldn’t get to love this book, although everyone seems to enjoy it so much. I was nervous to post the review – but I was so surprised! All the pees have been super nice and sweet. Oh and I liked back to a Bloggy Friend who loved the book. In the end I was happy I did post the review – because it was simply honest! I wasn’t mean – I just wanted to tell why I didn’t love it…. Bottom Line, it’s harder to post a bad Review but I would still do it – even if it’s a super popular title like “Wings”.

Parajunkee is also running a Follow Friday meme that we love.

This week she has Hafsah of Icey Books,
who is a super awesome 17yo YA Book Blogger

stopping by with the following question:What do you do besides reading/reviewing as a hobby?

This is a good question, and as the mother of three toddlers, I’m going out on a limb to guess that my answer is not the same as Hafsah’s. 🙂 But as a hobby…. hmm…. I like to make scrapbooks for my kids, I like to write (I just successfully completed NaNoWriMo) (Danny steps in and hugs pushy badly: I am soooo proud of you!!!! You did it and you are awesome! You are a winner!!) and I like sing badly ans I run slowly on my treadmill (if you see Beyonce crying somewhere, it’s because she’s just heard my rendition of Crazy in Love, just sayin’). But that’s just me. What about you??

So please stop by both Parajunky’s and Hafsah’s sites and see who else is out and about doing the book blog networking thing!

Finally, we’d love to take the opportunity to welcome all the new faces and the old ones too! *waves* Glad you are here and we hope you like it here at the Bewitched Bookworms.
