Book Blogger Hop (13) + Follow Friday (12)

It's Follow Friday!


This is my eleventh tenth Follow My Blog Friday, a weekly meme hosted by hosted by Parajunkee's View!

Follow Friday Question:


What did you study in college, or are currently studying and did it lead to your current 9 to 5 or are you doing something totally different?

I took a few college classes but life took me on another path of getting married and starting a family.  I would love to go back to school and if I did I would go to be an RN to work in the NICU or PICU.  That is what I wanted to do.  For now, I am a Stay-At-Home-Mommy, a wife, and a photographer on the side.


Book Blogger Hop
This is my twelfth Book Blogger Hop, a weekly meme hosted by Crazy-For-Books 

Book Blogger Hop Question:

What do you consider most important in a story, the characters or the plot?

Whoa, great question! You know these two really do go hand in hand but I have found I can read a never ending story a lot longer with more enjoyment than I can a story where I despise the character.


So, what about you?

  4. Hiii! <33

    I was thinking about NICU, also. (Two of my aunts are NICU nurses.) Or OR. But I finally decided on pediatrics - my heart has been in pediatrics since I volunteered for the hospital so long ago.

    But aww, I'd kill to be a stay-at-home mom. Unfortunately, that path doesn't seem to be working out for me hah. :/

    Here's my blog hop. Have a great Friday! <3

  5. Happy HOP! This week's question wasn't so simple to answer but ultimately it was characters for me. That's where I make my connection to the story. LOVE your blog and I'll be back.

    Thanks for coming by :D

  9. Hi, I am stopping by from FF and the Hop. I love your blog and I am so happy that I found it. I am a new follower =D

    I also think both are important but if I don't like the characters I can't read the book.

  11. I did not go to college, and I am currently retired. I worked for over 15 years in the secretarial division of Emery Air Freight in the 1960s and 1970s. I was a stay-at-home mom for the 1980s and 1990s, and now I am helping my daughter with her business, Tribute Books as the volunteer office manager.
