Follow Friday Top 5 - Feb. 18

It's Friday and in the Twittersphere that means it's time to pay some respect to some of your favorite people (or should I say Tweeple). I don't always find the time to do this. There are so many great people I could spend all day listing them and still not do them all justice. So, this week I had an idea. I started hitting the Favorite button for any blog post that caught my eye. Out of those I chose 5 that really spoke to me. Here they are, as originally tweeted, not in any particular order. If you're on Twitter I recommend you follow these people, if not I hope you consider following the blogs they either write for or promote. You won't be disappointed.

It was not easy choosing only 5 out of all the great blog posts this week. I hope you enjoy and if you know of another great post please let me know about it.

Thanks,

Here is my favorite part of BEA

This is my favorite part of the BEA. My daughter was so excited with all of her new books that she read to us for almost the entire 3+ hour train ride home. And to think, I almost didn't take her, thought it would have been boring or too long of a day for her. She is looking forward to going again next year and so am I.

I can't wait to start reading all of these great new books and sharing them with everyone. Although I am already missing quite a few because of friends and family that stopped over to borrow them.

Thanks for stopping by and keep in touch.
