Hopping On...and a Very Poorly Tried Attempt at Humor...Or Something Like That...

Book Blogger Hop

 In the spirit of the Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and find new blogs that we may be missing out on! This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed! So, start HOPPING through the list of blogs that are posted in the Linky list!!

Your blog should have content related to books, including, but not limited to book reviews.
Most importantly, the idea is to HAVE FUN!!

This week's prompt:
Tell us what book you're currently reading.
 
       I wasn't planning on doing the Hop this week, since I did it last week, but I realized that Wednesday marked the 1 month anniversary of this blog's first posting, which honestly doesn't seem too long ago.  
      Plus, the Book Blogger Hop takes place on a Friday, the start of the weekend...and after a hard week at work, what do people do for fun on the weekends??? 

        Well...apart from reading books?  Anything else? Try again!

  Yeah...that's kinda closer to what I was trying to get at....How about what's in their hands....Yes!  It looks like they're (kinda) enjoying a drink (and possibly some strange interpretive dance...)   So if you add books with alcohol* then we get the book I'm currently reading which is:

*drum roll*

The King of Vodka: The Story of Pyotr Smirnov and the Upheaval of an Empire - Linda Himelstein
 
I obviously can't review the book too much since I'm still reading it, but suffice it to say that this is a popular history/biography about 19th century surf-turned vodka "king" Pyotr Smirnov and his namesake alcoholic concoction.  So far, I'm probably nearing half way through with the book. 

*Books and alcohol don't always go along together.  Sorry, barkeep, vodka tonic hold the vodka for me...I'm reading.

I keep seeing this Book Blog Hop but forget to actually join in.

The book sounds fascinating!! But I agree that vodka and reading might not go so well together. ;)
