Follow Friday

This is the list of all of the Follow Friday posts resulting from my participation in the Follow Friday meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. When I started participating in the meme, I began numbering my Follow Friday posts in order to differentiate them from one another, and that morphed into coming up with something interesting about every number I used.

Oddly, I skipped the number seventy-four. To make up for this oversight, I inserted 74 in place of 174 and 174 in place of 274. When I get to 374, I may insert 274 in 174's place. Maybe I won't. We'll see. This blog has also been the featured blogger on this meme once, resulting in my Follow Friday Recap.

Random Thoughts

This is the list of all of the Random Thought posts that I have written. I am occasionally moved to write on a topic that occurs to me that simply isn't easily placed in one particular category or another, so I call them random thoughts. There is basically no rhyme or reason to my choice of topics, or how often I post these sorts of musings. They are, as the name implies, mostly random.

Book Blogger Hop

This is the list of all of the Book Blogger Hop posts resulting from my participation in the Book Blogger Hop meme hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books, and later by a collection of guest hosts. When I started participating in the meme, I followed the same practice for numbering these posts that I had previously used for my Follow Friday posts, coming up with something interesting about every number I used.

As of December 21, 2012, Jen stopped hosting the Book Blogger Hop due to shifts in her blogging focus, and as of February, 2012, the meme was taken over by Billy Burgess at Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer.
