Follow Friday

Sorry for the lack of posts lately... I haven't been reading as much as I'd like. However, it's time for a Follow Friday post!



How/Where do you get your books? Do you buy them or go to the library? Is there a certain website you use like paperbackswap?

I mostly buy my books from Amazon-I had a trial of Amazon Prime that just ran out (free two day shipping is the best) and now I need to decide if I'm going to actually get a real subscription or not. Sometimes I buy from bookstores but not usually unless I have gift cards. I also use netgalley.com.



What do I do when I am not reading?

Work, write, hang out with people.

Blog Hop/Follow Friday

You have to find another blogger who is having a giveaway and promote their giveaway for them! If possible, promote a giveaway from a blogger doing the Hop (hey, you are visiting other blogs anyway, right?). Have fun with this one! It’s not an easy task this week!

The Reader Bee is giving away The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter! Check it out here. The giveaway ends July 14ths and it's a signed copy!



Q. Let's step away from besties...What is the worst book that you've ever read and actually finished?

I'm not sure about this one... I'm going to say one of the books I liked the least was Light In August by Faulkner. I'm not sure if that's just because I had to read it for school or if I actually didn't like it though.

I almost forgot it was Friday! Here we go...


“What keeps you reading beyond the first few pages of a book, and what makes you want to stop reading a book and put it back on the shelf?“
Writing style and characters both have a big impact on me. If there's something off about the style, and it bothers me for some reason, I'll want to put a book down. If I don't like the main character much (when you're supposed to) then I'll also want to put a book down. However, I'm one of those people who doesn't really like leaving books unread, so this rarely happens.



Q. ACK! Your favorite book/movie character just walked into the room! Who is it and what would be your first reaction? You get extra points if you include visual stimulation.

I have no idea, honestly... right now I can't even think of a favorite book/movie character. Hm. Well, I do like Jack Sparrow a lot... so if he were to walk into the room... I'd probably be super excited! I'm not sure what I'd do though.

Question: In light of the Summer Solstice. Also known as Midsummer...let's talk about fairies. What is your favorite fairy tale or story that revolves around the fae?

Answer: I'm not entirely sure... I'm honestly not a big fan of faerie stories, nor have I read a whole lot of them. The only thing I can even think now is A Midsummer Night's Dream, because of the word "Midsummer" in the question. Unfortunately, faeries in general aren't really my cup of tea.



Question: When did you realize reading was your passion and a truly important part of your life?

Answer: I have no idea... it just always was! I read all the time as a child, and I still do now! Though, this past year made me realize how much I truly love it... last year I didn't read as much as I used to. Picking up reading again made me realize how much I missed it.
