Crazy For Books' Book Blogger Hop
Parajunkee's Follow My Book Blog Friday.
I'm Alison. I've been blogging for seven months. I review mainly YA with a few MG books and a weekly manga feature.
*I'll be hopping by blogs Thursday night and Friday morning. I leave Friday night for Florida for vacation! We'll be going to Harry Potter land on Saturday and then a 7-day Caribbean cruise starting Sunday. Goodbye freezing Minnesota!
I will still be posting regularly on my blog while I'm gone through posts I have scheduled. Hopefully, they work. But I won't be commenting, since I won't have Internet access.

Follow Friday: Who Do You Root For?
Well, no one really. The only sport I enjoy is gymnastics, but I haven't been following it much since the 2010 Olympics. If I had to pick some teams that I like, I'd say the Minnesota teams: Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves, and Wild. I'm from Phoenix, so I'm also a Suns fan. I hate the Arizona Cardinals on principle. They had one exceptional year, but generally they've been an embarrassment to the state, and we wasted a lot of money on a new stadium when ASU's Sun Devil Stadium was perfectly fine and was a source of money for ASU. Enough ranting...
For the Super Bowl, I'm rooting for the Packers just because it's the closest team to Minnesota.
I hope you have fun on your vacation! It sounds like a ton of fun!
ReplyDeleteOoh, Florida vacation?!? I am so jealous!!

Who do I cheer for? When I follow sports at all (and that hasn’t been much lately) I follow people and teams who impress and inspire me.
ReplyDeleteMy answers are all over the map (literally!) but all perfectly understandable once explained. Follow me over to my blog and read all about it -

Re: Movie Extra work- It's fun doing extra work for movies, but it also involves lots of long, odd hours. My shoot lasted from 5PM to the wee hours of the morning. This job was my first extra gig and I was lucky enough to be in the same room with the director -- Ronnie Howard!-- and the cast due to where they stuck me for the shot. I got to see them rehearse and everything. Even though you can't see me, it was quite exciting!!!
