Getting to Know You Questions (Day 2) | #TraveltheWorldinBooksRAT (Sept. 1-14, 2014)


Hello everyone! I am so excited to be participating in the Travel the World in Books Readathon. You can follow my updates here.

Travel the World in Books Readathon, Day 2

 

Getting to Know You Questions



1. What’s the name of your blog, your blog URL  and how long have you been blogging?

The name of my blog is MAD Hoydenish (http://madhoydenish.blogspot.com/). I have been blogging off and on for about 5 years.

2. How many kids and/or fur babies do you have?
3


3. Where in the world does your family originate from?
Everyone in my family was made in America. Well, except for my cousin (by marriage) whose family is from Japan.

4. Can you speak any foreign languages?
I kinda sorta, but not really speak little to no Spanish (studied in high school and college). I started working on learning French last month. I'll be talking about it more in a future readathon post.

5. Give a shout out to a blogger you visited during the Readathon.
I visited Guiltless Reading to check out the Make Your Own Book Map Mini-Challenge & Giveaway. It looks pretty cool, but I must admit that I am a little intimidated. I hope to start on my map when I return from vacation.

I am working on my reading list today and headed out for vacation tomorrow.

* rubs hands together in anticipation *

GOALS: I plan to read at least five books during the readathon. I hope to visit most of the participants - internet access willing. I will try to post some of the books on PaperBackSwap when I finish reading them (in case you would like to read them as well).
