 weekly meme hosted by Laurie at 

Question of the week: Did you set yourself a reading goal?

I tend to set myself a reading challenge each year, this year my aim is to read 250 books; I am current;y up to 104 .

This weeks featured blog:

Ninja Girl from Ninja Girl Reads

Question of the week:  It's circle time. Time for us to open up and share. Can you tell us FIVE quirky habits or things about you? We all have them...
  • Photographing my children is an obsession! now they are older they are starting to run or pull cheeky faces (little do they know they will be shown at their 21st's)
  • I love to fill out paperwork, if I make a mistake or it looks too messy I start again ;)
  • I love the smell of magazine paper, soil, rain, babies and freshly mewn grass
  • My kindle goes wherever I go (much to my husbands horror), you never know when you might just get that spare moment to read.
  • I have to have everything in order, the house spotless and nothing lying around - clutter irritates me.

What to do..

  1. Grab the button up there and place it in a post, this post is for people to find a place to say hi in your comments
  2. Follow Follow Follow as many as you can, as many as you want, or just follow a few. The whole point is to make new friends and find new blogs. Also, don't just follow, comment and say hi. Another blogger might not know you are a new follower if you don't say "HI"
  3. If someone comments and says they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the Love...and the followers
  4. If you're new to the follow Friday hop, comment and let me know, so I can stop by and check out your blog!

    Saw on Book Blogs that you are open to author interviews or reviews. I have a new YA paranormal out. If you're interested, I'd love for you to read my blurb on my blog (for The Ultimate Sacrifice) and if you think you'd like to interview me or review my book, let me know and I'll send it to you.
    Thanks!

    Wow! That is a mighty fine goal. I have absolutely no idea how many books I read. I'm guessing a lot, but probably not that many. Good luck!!! With 104 done already, I'm sure you'll succeed if not surpass your goal. Oh, and I absolutely love owls! They're just sooo cute! Cool blog, am definitely following :)

    I feel really lost without my kindle, sometimes if I forget it when I'm at uni I consider going back for it-but it's an hour long round walk and I'm too lazy haha.

    I used to love photographing my cat too, she was like my child =]

    Haha, I'm so glad someone else likes to fill out paperwork too. I always thought I was weird! And I'm the same way, if I screw up something on it I can't just cross it out, I have to start over. And I also LOVE the smell of freshly cut grass!

    Thanks for visiting me at Hands and Home. My Kobo also goes with me everywhere. Before I had it I would often take 2 books with me incase I finished one or wasn't in the mood for the other - love that i don't have that problem anymore.

    I take my kindle with me everywhere I go too. I have a huge handbag, so it fits in there nicely with all my other stuff. I cannot believe there was a time when I was against the Kindle, I can't imagine not having it. I love my Kindle!!

    Thanks for stopping by and happy FF to you. I'm a new follower and here's my FF.

    250 books?! When will you sleep? :-)

    I'm like the others, except 100 books is my goal every year and I've never made it - my tally always tops out at around 80 or so. There's just always those books that hold me up, because they take me longer to finish. Books that I don't dislike enough to stop reading completely but don't like enough to become addicted to are always my downfall.

    Thanks for stopping by.
    That's a good reading goal, I was aiming for something similar but am only on 81. Well done on getting to 104 already.

    I don't have a kindle, but I'm the same with my books. I always take one with me in my bag - you never now, as you say, when you will get a spare moment to read!

    Have a great weekend

    Hi Sharon, thanks for stopping by at my blog. I'm now following you too :) I love the smell of babies too, somehow they smell so pure and sweet.. I'm not big on perfumes but if I do wear one, I would definitely wear something like the smell of rain...
