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.
Our Feature – Gizmo’s Reviews
I started blogging after I was one of the top reviewers on Goodreads.com for nearly 2 years. I started June 2011, and really didn’t put much effort or time into it under a friend suggested we redesign it and advertise more.
Q: What is one book that you would be nervous to see a movie adaption of because you think the movie could never live up to the book?
Ender’s Game. And it is becoming a movie. It’s exciting in a way, but I have a feeling they are going to desperately fail to portray the greatness of it. I mean the battle room?? How in the world are they going to make this look cool? I know they have great special effects, but zero g sometimes look rather hoaky when viewing it in a movie. Here is the IMDB listing. So far they have Harrison Ford as the Colonel and a lot of kids that I have never seen before as Ender, Valentine and Petra. The kid that is playing Bead is cute though.
We have a new button, so update your blogs if you are used to doing this meme!

I have not read Ender’s Game before. It sounds like I should check it out though. Movie adaptations always make me nervous!
Happy FF!!
Great post!! I haven’t read the Enders Game but I really need too
I have never read Ender’s Game! I really need to get on that!
Wow…tough question!! I’ve never read Ender’s Game….may have to give it a try!
I’m going to have to really think about my answer for this one!!
Check out what I decide at….What I Read Yesterday
I’ve never read the book before though my boyfriend’s always pushing me to read it. I think I’m going to read it before the movie comes out!

Hi Rachel , just stopped in to say I voted for your blog in the Independent book blogger
Good luck and I hope yours wins
Hi there
just hopping through. .. I haven’t heard of this book, I may have to check it out.
Here is my choice…
Feature & Follow
I just came across your Feature and Follow post and think it’s a great idea. I’ve now joined in too!
Hi, I just came across your feature and follow and have joined. Hope that I have done everything properly!
Is there any chance people can view the waiting list for this feature?
OH MY GOD. I didn’t know Ender’s Game is in the making. And fabulous cast choices too. The girl that plays Valentine is absolutely stunning, she fits her role well.
Here’s my FF. ♥

I have never read Ender’s Game. I really like this question – I had to think about my answer.
Here’s my FF
Here’s my ff
Link should work this time
Hi, I am new to Follow Friday and look forward to meeting lots of great bloggers. I haven’t read Ender’s game, though I have heard a lot about it. Great question!
I’m a little nervous about Ender’s Game because it’s just so well known and science fiction movies make me more nervous.
BUT what really scares me is the potential Chaos Walking trilogy adaption. How will they do that?? My follow friday
What a great idea. I’m following.
I haven’t heard of Ender’s Game but it sounds pretty awesome! I can see how it’s going to be pretty tricky to make the movie. I hope it turns out great. Happy reading! =D
-Shanon @ Escaping With Fiction
I’m dreading the Ender’s Game movie. I’ll have to see it, since it is one of the best books ever… but I’m so afraid of hating it.
Thanks for hosting FF!
I’ve been meaning to read Ender’s Game for ages – but if there’s a film coming, I might wait and read it after. It’s usually less disappointing that way round!
Hi Everyone! This is my second time posting F&F! Have a great weekend everyone!
Brianne @ http://memoriesovertakingme.blogspot.com/2012/04/feature-follow-2.html
Been meaning to read Ender’s Game but until today, haven’t got the chance to actually pick – and seeing from the comments above, I am not the only one. Teehee!
Have a great weekend. 
I haven’t read Ender’s Game but I have heard great thing about it. Maybe one day, I will get to it.
My FF.
