Curses go to the lovely Christina of Recipe and a Read for having the chutzpah to dare to force work on me by tagging me for a  “blogger award!” Silly girl – she must not value her life or realize what an extremely lazy blogger I truly am!

 

THE AWARD

I don’t qualify for this at all according to the definition:

“Mystery Blogger Award” is an award for amazing bloggers with ingenious posts. Their blog not only captivates; it inspires and motivates. They are one of the best out there, and they deserve every recognition they get. This award is also for bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging, and they do it with so much love and passion. – Okoto Enigma

But I will graciously accept~ although it is no secret I just write silly little reviews that no one reads, not even my own relatives – which most people would take as a telling portent…

 

THE RULES
• Put the award logo/image on your blog
• List the rules.
• Thank whoever nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
• Mention the creator of the award and provide a link as well
• Tell your readers 3 things about yourself
• Nominate other bloggers who fit the bill!
• Link the bloggers you nominate
• Ask your nominees any 5 questions of your choice; with one weird or funny question (specify)
• Share a link to your best post(s)

3 THINGS ABOUT MYSELF

I didn’t have the time or energy to read anything that wasn’t work-related for about 20 years.  I love being retired so I can read whatever, whenever, where ever, and however I want.  I am a retired School Psych and don’t miss the noise or my sucky boss.  I no longer have to “people.”  ~ Contented sigh, life is good.

I foster kittens and get them adopted – yip – I’m a crazy old cat lady.

I don’t own a coat but I have a few hoodies.  I live in Hawaii and have no need of heavy outerwear, or high heels – I gave all of those torture devices away!

 

THREE OF MY TOP POSTS

I have no idea what those would actually be as  I lost 5 years of my blog to a malicious hacker’s uploaded virus and out of spite, I started it over about a year ago.  I never look at my stats, but I poked around and was actually shocked and somewhat horrified to see the most viewed pages were my Review Policy and About Me page – go figure!   Of the posts, the top three viewed weren’t my best reviews but were probably publicist driven or accidental redirections 😉

Book Review: The Oddest Little Book Shop by Beth Good

Book Review: I Know You Know by Gilly Macmillan

Book Review: Atticus by S. Bennett

 

Christina’s Snoopy Questions :

 

What is a book you can never read too many times?

I can’t think of a one I read several times by choice

What are your favorite and least favorite tropes to read?

I am primarily a women’s fiction reader. I don’t read horror or dystopian and generally avoid YA and religion

What is one unpopular book opinion you have?

I despise cliffhangers with the heat of a thousand suns and typically respond by turning the air around me blue and stamping my little foot if tricked into reading one.

If you could pack up and travel anywhere in the world right now, where would it be?

Valley of the Kings – but I’m lazy to travel that far

Fun/Weird Question: If you could maintain your current BMI and be either one GIANT bee or thousands of bees with a collective mind, which would you choose and why?

I’d be one big badass beehive – I love the idea of having minions I don’t have to supervise or give direction to.

Nominate 5 fools 

Nope, not gonna do it.  I rebel against the rules!  I nominate anyone who wants to consider themselves award-worthy and promise no Crazy Kanye takesie backsies
