No this is not a political post. But I can see why the title might be mistaken as such.
By the way, what do you call a lizard who likes a cup of tea before bedtime?

Down the page you will find a Battle of the Bands which I hope you will participate in, but first...
The Insecure Writer's Support Group
Join us on the first Wednesday of each month in Alex J. Cavanaugh's Insecure Writer's Support Group--a forum of writers who gather to talk about writing and the writer's life. For a complete list of participants visit Alex's Blog.
The co-hosts for the February 3 posting of the IWSG are Sarah - The Faux Fountain Pen Jacqui Murray, Chemist Ken, Victoria Marie Lees, Natalie Aguirre, and JQ Rose!
March 3 question - Everyone has a favorite genre or genres to write. But what about your reading preferences? Do you read widely or only within the genre(s) you create stories for? What motivates your reading choice?
Since I am afflicted with eclecticism I tend to ramble in my interests. I've always had this tendency which is probably why I seem to get little actually done at times. Or maybe I just limit myself in how far I go in each pursuit.
But that's okay as far as I'm concerned. I'll call it freedom in a certain sense.
My writing has always rambled as has my reading. A look at my bookshelves will reveal a wide range of subject matter, style, genre, and so on. My reading schedule is not rigid nor is what I read. Often my reading depends on what is nearby. If I'm waiting somewhere I'm likely to pick up anything and start reading.
In more recent years my reading has been more inclined toward non-fiction. When I have read fiction my reading has been anything from sci-fi to romance to literary. I like to read even if it's just reading classified ads.
The act of reading is a bit obsessive with me, but what I read is not. Looking at me reading from one day or place to the next one might think me as somewhat of a literary chameleon.
Battle of the Bands
Battle of the Bands is the blogging event started by Far Away Series and now hosted by StMcC Presents Battle of the Bands. This event happens each month on the 15th and on some there is also a Battle on the 1st of the month. My blog is one of those with a second Battle excepting over these summer months. The premise is simple: Listen to the songs presented below and then in the comments vote for your favorite and tell us why you liked it. Then visit the links listed near the bottom of this post for more Battle action.
Karma Chameleon
You probably love this song or hate it. I like it okay. Heard it a lot back in the eighties and even had the Culture Club album where the song appeared. Whatever the case, this is the song I've chosen for this Battle. Hope you have fun with it...
Reggae Lounge "Karma Chameleon" (2103)
Me First And The Gimme Gimmes "Karma Chameleon" (2014)
Time to Vote!
Don't be a lizard. Play along in this Battle of the Bands. I hope you'll at least give the versions a listen to discern your favorite. Which version do you prefer? Hopefully you have an opinion of some kind. You don't have to know about music to have an opinion since it all comes down to your own personal taste.
Please vote on your favorite by letting us know your choice in the comment section and tell us why you prefer the version you chose. Then after you've finished here, please visit the other blogs listed below who may or may not be participating this time around. And if you've put up your own BOTB contest let us know that as well so we can vote on yours.
Here are some other places where you might find BOTB posts:
