Follow My Blog Friday #129


If you are new to the FF fun, Feature and Follow Friday is a blog hop that expands your blog following by a joint effort between bloggers. Feature & Follow Friday is now hosted by TWO hosts, myself of course 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, 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!

Now to make this FF interesting we do a FEATURE blogger. If you are interested in becoming a Feature click on the drop down link above FEATURES and Features and Follow Friday and get on the waiting list!  It is also required, that if you participate you must follow the hosts (Parajunkee and Alison Can Read) and the two Feature blogs.

This Meme is hosted by Rachel from Parajunkee's View and Alison from Alison Can Read on Fridays.

Our Feature is Meg @ The Book Asylum

When did you start blogging?

I launched The Book Asylum in October of this year.

What is your favorite part of book blogging?

I absolutely love connecting with other book lovers, and chatting about our latest reads. Reading is a passion of mine, and it makes me so happy when I can share that passion with other like-minded people. Getting to know authors on a personal level is pretty awesome too!

What is your favorite book(s)?

This is such a tough question! I honestly don’t think I could name just one, so if you don’t mind I’ll throw out a handful in no particular order and you can take your pick… The Harry Potter series, The Sea of Tranquility, The Edge of Never, The Opportunist, the Experiment in Terror Series, A Matter of Fate, the Fever Series, Mila 18, the Song of Ice and Fire series, The Night Circus, Ready Player One, Winter Sea, State of Wonder, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Macbeth.

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

I would say the best thing that has happened to me so far has been becoming an organizer of the Boston Author Event which is happening on March 16th, 2013. I adore the other two organizers – Cristina of Cristina’s Book Reviews, and Trish Patel Brinkley (huge fan) – whom I would have never met had it not been for book blogging. It’s pretty amazing to see what dedicated fans can do for the authors they love! As a book blogger, I’ve been able to connect authors with their readers in a meaningful way in the virtual world. Now, I’m excited to be able to do that in March in the real world!


Our Feature -Bookworms Avenue

1. When did you start blogging?

I started blogging back 2009. My blog wasn't a book blog yet it was more of a "my hobbies" blog. But after couple of months blogging I sort of got tired and very busy at school so I decided to end it. After several years I found out about book blogs, which was this May 2012, and made one of my own. Actually I just renewed my old blog.

2. What is your favorite part of book blogging?

Meeting new friends and reading more books. You see because of book blogging I meet new friends- bloggers and authors, who also loves to read. With them I can share my obsession with books not like my friends in real life. I mean I do share my hobby with them but not that much. Also book blogging gave me an opportunity to read more books which I'm not well aware of before.

3. What is your favorite book(s)?

My all time favorite are The Harry Potter books. Recently The Mortal Instruments books has also made to my top ten favorite books ever.

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

A great conversation with my favorite authors!
