MizB’s Weekly Events

I host three (3) WEEKLY EVENTS here at Should Be Reading:

The weekly FRIDAY FINDS event asks you to share with other bloggers about the new-to-you books you found during the week — books you either want to add to your TBR (to be read) list, or that you just heard about that sounded interesting.

I created this event because I am constantly “finding” new books to add to my TBR list, via blogs I read, other places on the web, through friends & family, or through browsing the local library. The books I add to my list are those that I’ve found in those locations, that I’ve never heard of before that time… and not books that have come into my possession.

I was tired of having a bunch of little pieces of paper with “TBR” titles on them, as those papers always seemed to get lost. This is a great way for me to keep track of those new-to-me titles, and to find more through others’ recommendations, or “Finds”!

FRIDAY FINDS participants are asked to either (1) write a blog post about their FRIDAY FINDS and then share the link in a comment at Should Be Reading’s “FRIDAY FINDS” post for the week, or (2) type your FRIDAY FINDS into a comment on that week’s FF post (if you don’t have a blog).

And…

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

There is only one VERY IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER:

*** Do NOT post anything that could spoil the plot of the book!!! ***

If your sentences on the page you turn to give too much away, choose a different page, or a different spot on the page… we don’t want to ruin any surprises for anyone!

Every Tuesday, on the “TEASER TUESDAYS” posts, leave a link to your blog post where you’ve shared your “Teaser“. If you don’t have a blog, share the teaser in a comment on that week’s “Teaser” post.

And…

WWW… WEDNESDAYS asks you to just answer the following 3 questions:

1. What are you currently reading?
2. What did you recently finish reading?
3. What do you think you’ll read next?

To play along, just answer the questions on your own blog (if you have one), and link back to that in the comments section for that week’s post. If you don’t have a blog, that’s okay, too! Just share your answers right at “Should Be Reading“. ((see the WWW… Wednesdays ARCHIVES))
