Welcome to the Feature & Follow


Gain New Blog FollowersIncrease Blog Followers, gain Book Blog 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.

All features are chosen randomly to be the feature. They are not chosen by content or name.

Our Feature is Take Me Away

When did you start blogging?
 I started blogging in May of 2011! (Gah didn’t even realize its been almost 2 years!)
What is your favorite part of book blogging?
Interacting with the authors…. They’re like celebrities to me! And of course interacting with other book lovers like myself! I love how I’m able to fangirl over a certain book and have someone not think I’m weird for it lol
What type of books do you mainly blog about?
YA! They are my release from the hard adult world!
What is your favorite book(s)?
 My favorite books are the Harry Potter series. Yes I know its generic, but its very true. I’ve read the entire series more than 8 times.
What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?
I’ve realized exactly what it is I want to do with my career choice. I always liked reading, but I couldn’t figure out how to become a professional reader lol When I started blogging, I was introduced to the HUGE world of publishing and I realized that it would be cool to be a Public Relations rep for a publishing company. So I decided to go back to school and get a Masters in Publishing :)

 

Q: What is the first thing you would do if you woke up to find yourself in your favorite book?  via @GizmosReviews

Have I mentioned yet I’m on a Jane Austen kick? So frankly I would run and jump Mr. Darcy, even though he would probably have me locked up.

  5. I would probably do the same thing to a number of my book crushes(:

  6. I would love to wake up in the HP series…always my fave, but I am much more like the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz than any HP character!

  7. I have a feeling there’s going to be a lot of “jumping” fictional characters. But that’s not a bad thing at all.

  8. Seems like “jumping bones” of fictional characters is a popular trend today.

  11. Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy :) I wonder how he would deal with a woman from the 21st century? He would probably be a little schocked :)

    • Sorry about that. Not sure what happened with my link. Here’s my FF.

  24. I still haven’t read a Jane Austen book. Yup I know where have I been. I have big plans to one day. So I’m not sure who Mr. Darcy is but I’ve heard so much about him. I wonder if he’s worth the jail time.
    Thanks for the great share.
    My FF

  26. Hey, Rachel!

    http://parajunkee.com/ is an impressive site: great programming; great human interest; oh, and books! My site is a train wreck. Hey, it has some books too!

    “Have I mentioned yet I’m on a Jane Austen kick? So frankly I would run and jump Mr. Darcy, even though he would probably have me locked up.”

    At least if Fitzwilliam Darcy locked you up it would be in his own dungeon at Pemberley. My view is that 200 years ago Jane Austen created the format for the modern novel, which we all read today, when she wrote PRIDE AND PREJUDICE with its excessive over-use of dialogue and playful narrative. IMHO. But she didn’t believe it (or maybe British critics trounced her) because all her successive novels conform to the literary styles of her time. Boring, boring. Although Jane’s other novels manage (excuse me: womanage!) to be lively.

    I don’t do Adult Urban Fantasy, Rachel. You and your readers probably wouldn’t grok my high-tech sci-fi Matriarchy in Outer Space time-travel DAUGHTER MOON. Oh, well. “100 boys are not worth a woman’s little finger.”

    Eventually, I’ll want to do something with hg47writer.com – something dull and professional so anyone landing there will say to themselves, “Oh. Another novelist. I’m bored, what the hell, I’ll check out one of his books.” Is that the kind of thing you could do? What kind of money would I be looking at?

    Cheers! @hg47

  27. What a great idea!! I don’t complete understand how to do it, but I definitely want to participate tomorrow! (It’s a Friday thing, right?).

    PS: I’m a para-junkie, too!! :)
