Feature & Follow #4

"Feature and Follow" is a weekly meme hosted by the wonderful and sweet girls of Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read!!!

Please stop by their blogs to say HI and get all the deets from them too!!! 

It's been a long while since I've been able to participate in "Feature & Follow", and even though I have about 10 reviews to finish and post, I haven't been in the mood, having the sickies kinda swept everything away this week, lol!



So, this week's "Feature & Follow" questions is: 

Q: Do you read one book at a time or do you switch back and forth between two or more?

Hmmm... at first, I wanted to answer this with a big fat YES!
but, maybe it's not a solid yes, lol, and here's why...

I tend to start 3 or 4 books at a time and then go with the one that calls out to me the most and read straight on through! and then I'll pick out another from those 3 or 4 until the pile is gone.
Once the pile is gone, I pick out another few and start my weird little process all over again, lol!

So, I guess that technically I do read one book at a time after I've started a few first ;)

I've tried reading more than one at a time - an actual book on my book-stand, one on my Nook, one on the computer... but it was too hard and then I was wondering where my characters where and what world I was jumping into and it would take a while before I was able to remember what I was reading... it all got a bit too confusing for my tired old brain, lol! Can you imagine what my reviews would sound like? hee hee...
I bow to those that can multi-task their books :)

What about you? Do you read one at a time???

Feature and Follow #3

"Feature and Follow" is a weekly meme hosted by the wonderful and sweet girls of Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read!!!

Please stop by their blogs to say HI and get all the deets from them too!!! 

This week's questions is... 

Q: What would your prefer: reading your favorite book over and over again until you got sick of it OR reading 100s of mediocre books? And why?

Hmmm, this is a tough question, because my favorite books kind of change as I keep finding new ones, lol! and I do re-read them a whole lot, until I find another favorite, and then I re-read that one a whole lot and then either go back to my original re-read to re-read or find a new one... it's an endless cycle, lol! 

SO, it's settled, I will re-read my books until the end of time! 

I don't have time for mediocre (said with a scrunchy face and snotty attitude) books! 

Some of my old favorite re-reads are... 

- Harry Potter Series 

- Twilight (the first book only) 

- The Christmas Box and The Promise by Richard Paul Evans 

- The Notebook by Nicholas Sparkls 

- The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway 

Some of my new favorites... 

- Fallen by Lauren Kate 

- The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater 

What are your favorite re-reads???

Thanks so much!!! 

This week's question is: 

Q: Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?

I don't do THRILLERS! 

Spooky is okay. Suspenseful is okay. Mystery is okay too.

But nothing nightmarish - it will live with me for weeks!!! 

I've said it before, and I'll say is again proudly, 

I am a chicken-poop :) 

And I'm sorry, but I find autobiographies and memoirs boring! 

I have read a few biographies, probably skimmed a few pages, lol, but they were read! 

Which books do you run away from??? 

PS, don't forget to take a peek below at my Friday Finds post too please :) 

Follow Friday...

This seems like a nifty idea :)

Some wonderful bloggers got together to help spread the word about newbie book bloggers and I thought I'd join them so I can get to know a few other newbies like myself and help spread the word :)
A huge thank you to Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read for hosting!!!

Please say HI and leave your link in the comments below :)
I am a newbie book blogger, so any tips that you would like to share with me would be greatly appreciated too!

Oh, and there is a question too, so you can get to know me a bit better...

Q: What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done to get your hands on any particular book?

Hmmm, it would probably have to be the time that I dragged my poor hubs to the release of one of the Harry Potter books (book #6), lol! Other than parents, we were probably the only 30yos in the crowd waiting for the midnight release! Oh, and did I mention that I had my sister and bro-in-law babysitting our newborn son too! I really wanted the new book, plus it was a bonus to get out of the house for a while!!!
lmao, hubs swore that he would never go into a crowd of "teenies" like that again! but he did admit that he had a ton of fun just being out for the night, even though we were sleep deprived and hungry! lol! It will definitely be a night that we will never forget :)


Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your TGIF!!!
