Who do you cheer for?

My children!  The only sports I watch are when my children play. 
If I had to choose a team I would say I'm a fan of BYU simply because I went to school there, the Lakers and Dodgers because I grew up in LA and more recently the Jazz because I now live in Utah.  But honestly I couldn't tell you the last time I watched any kind of college or professional team play.

"Why do you read the genre that you do? What draws you to it?"

I read just about anything but prefer young adult.  Usually it is very entertaining and much cleaner than adult books are.  I'm still 17 at heart despite being double that in body.


What makes up your non-human family?
I'm allergic to most pets.  We've had fish - hate cleaning out the tank, a bearded lizard and a guinea pig who have all died.  Currently we have 2 white rabbits who my children love.

Book Blogger Hop & Follow Plus Weekly Update AND 2011 Blogging Goals

What are your new years book blogging resolutions?
1. Read at least 150 books with 50 of those being audio books.  So far in 2010 I've read 249 books with 78 of those being audiobooks. (I may get one more finished by tomorrow, if not it will count towards my 2011 goal). I'm really hoping to hit at least 200 in 2011 but I'm starting out low and will adjust my goal upwards if I can.
2. Continue to contact authors and set up book giveaways and interviews.  Host at least 4 new giveaways each week.
3. Redesign my blog.
4. Make Best I've Read 2011 even better than Best I've Read 2010.
5. Get through my pile of books to be reviewed or get them into the hands of other reviewers.
