TGIF - Feature & Follow Friday

Posted on 18:55 by Unknown
* Quick note: Blogger seems to be flaky this morning, giving me a 'bX-tm5jc4' error every time I try to leave a comment but I am still following everybody back . . . I'll leave some comments whenever Blogger is fixed.*


Feature & Follow Friday is a blog hop that is designed to provide some much-appreciated exposure to the bloggers participating, and to expand their following. Hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read, each of whom feature a chosen blog for the week, it's an interesting way to get to know one another.



Question of the Week: Do you read one book at a time or do you switch back and forth between two or more?



Definitely switch back and forth between two or more. I'll usually have something from each genre (horror, fantasy, sci-fi, etc.) queued up on my e-reader to satisfy whatever mood I happen to be in that day. I know some people have trouble keeping all those characters and stories straight in their head at the same time, but I don't see it as any more of a challenge than being able to follow multiple TV shows in a week.



Parajunkee also hosts a Social Hop for Facebook and Twitter, which I've taken part in the past two weeks. So, if you're one of those people who aren't on Blogger, or who just don't like Google Friend Connect, it's a great way to keep in touch and follow one another.

TGIF is another blog hop designed to provide much-appreciated exposure to the bloggers participating, and to expand their following. Hosted by GReads, it's an interesting way to recap the week, pose a question, and find some exposure with a different audience.




Question of the Week: 
Book Blogger Retreat - If you could gather up a handful of book blogger friends to spend a weekend away talking books, where would you go? Tell us about it.



We'd go somewhere old and abandoned . . . maybe to the moss-covered ruins of a gothic castle or the vine-clad ruins of an 19th mansion . . . somewhere with an immense library still standing at the heart of the tumbled stones and rotted beams of oak. We'd have comfortable furniture, a generator, and some lighting installed ahead of our visit, of course, and hopefully an eccentric old local to regale us with tales of the library's haunted past.
