Feature and Follow Friday #113

Welcome to the Feature & Follow



Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & Follow! If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers -- but you have to know -- the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it'll allow us to show off more new blogs!

How does this work? First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools -- keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them "hi" in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you!

What sets this Hop apart from others, is our Feature. Each week we will showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Who is our Feature today? Find out below. Just remember it is required, if you participate, to follow our Features and you must follow the hosts (Parajunkee & Alison Can Read) as a courtesy. How do you follow someone? Well, if you have a preference, state it in your #FF post. A lot of blogs are transitioning to Wordpress in which they do not have the luxury of GFC, so an RSS subscription is appreciated or if you choose an email subscription. If you don't have GFC please state in your post how you would like to be followed.



How To Become a Featured Blog?

We pick our featured blogs randomly each week from the blogs who participated the week before.

Please be sure to feature your e-mail address clearly on your blog. Either on the main blog, on a Contact page, or on an About Me page. If I can't find your email easily, I will choose a different blog to feature.


Our Feature -Books with Bite




1. When did you start blogging?

I started blogging in June two years ago.

2. What is your favorite part of book blogging?

Meeting new bloggers :))

3. What is your favorite book(s)?

My fave all time is The Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs.

4. What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?

Just overall meeting new people and becoming new friends.

Q: What are you reading right now? How do you like it?.


First off, I am finishing up my European vacation this weekend, so my comments will probably be limited. I'll get back to commenting in late September when I'm done with all my travels.

And I drafted most of this post from my iphone so sorry for any mistakes or brevity.

I just finished The Goddess Legacy and From What I Remember. I really enjoyed both. Right now I'm finishing up Discovery of Witches, which is good, and just starting The City's Son.



Now for the Follow Fun!



With GFC going the way of the dodo bird for many bloggers, there is no better time to start following blogs via RSS feed. If you use a reader, it would be great if you followed my RSS directly.


We have a new button, so update your blogs if you are used to doing this meme!

  3. I read The Goddess Legacy a week or two ago and I really loved it, enough that I chose to feature it as a Book of the Month. I haven't gotten much reading done this summer since I am editing my own novel, but this had to have something going for it if it held my attention away from that long enough for me to finish it in a day. I hope you enjoyed it, too. :)
