Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly Blog Hop that can be found over at Parajunkee’s View and Alison Can Read
Hi guys! Can't believe it is Friday already! (well, Thursday for some of you ;))
Thank you so much to Parajunkee and Alison Can Read for hosting this. I am a featured blogger this week at Alison Can Read! Eeek.
Interview Questions & Answers
When did you start blogging? - I was blogging on and off for a few years before I finally settled down in February of 2011.
What is your favorite part of book blogging? - Being able to just let rip with all things books. I am the only reader in my family so it is great just to be able to open up a new post start typing and know that there are others out there who do the same and might just be interested in my craziness :)
What type of books do you mainly blog about? Most of the books I read have an element of romance to them (I am a sappy article - I admit it) although lately I am trying to read more YA.
What is your favorite book(s)? Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte always goes to the top of the list as it is the first book I remember capturing me from beginning to end. A close second is The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging? I have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember and authors are like my pop-stars but I have never been to a book signing or anything like that (downside of not being near a big city) but thanks to blogging I now have THREE books on my shelves signed by the authors and made out to me!! Nothing can beat that massive glowey feeling I got in my chest when I opened the packages :)
Question - Happy Mardi Gras! If they were throwing the HOTTEST books off of a Mardi Gras float -- what would you do to have them throw to you…?
Umm...well I am an introvert by nature so I would be getting trodden on and slapped by all the people around me. So, a diabolically dastardly plan is in order.
Plan a) I would simply divert the float down an abandoned street (which I would totally be able to find *studies street map*) and then I would be the only one around to throw the books too. Mwahahaha. Sorted.
Plan b) *shouts into megaphone* look! Free puppies! *crowd runs off and Alex waits for the avalanche of bookie goodness to descend*
Congrats on being featured! I am in love with your background and font, it's very Wonderland-u. LOL your plan is hilarious, although I wouldn't be distracted by puppies if there are books involved. Glad to be your newest GFC follower :)

You've read The Phantom of the Opera? That's on my TBR list! How was it? I've only seen the movie, and the play here in Manila, but never the book.

Haha! Great answer. I wasn't really sure how to answer that question, but, like you, I'm a total introvert, so screaming like mad and pushing people out of the way is something I would just never do. But I like you plan. Maybe we could work together!!! :)
