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 Review and Alison from Alison Can Read on Fridays.
To join the fun and make now book blogger friends, just follow these simple rules:
1. (Required) Follow the Follow My Book Blog Friday Hosts {Parajunkee and Alison Can Read}
2. (Required) Follow our Featured Bloggers
3. Put your Blog name and URL in the Linky thing. You can also grab the code if you would like to insert it into your posts.
4. Grab the button up there and place it in a post, this post is for people to find a place to say “hi” in your comments and that they are now following you.
5. If you are using WordPress or another CMS that doesn’t have GFC (Google Friends Connect) state in your posts how you would like to be followed
6. Follow Follow Follow as many as you can, as many as you want, or just follow a few. The whole point is to make new friends and find new blogs. Also, don’t just follow, comment and say hi. Another blogger might not know you are a new follower if you don’t say “HI”
7. If someone comments and says they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the Love and the followers.
8. If you’re new to the follow Friday hop, comment and let me know, so I can stop by and check out your blog!

When did you start blogging?
I recently answered this question (+ more) here.
What is your favorite part of book blogging?
My favorite part of book blogging is reading books, of course!
The fun part is then sharing my thoughts with YOU.
What type of books do you mainly blog about?
I don’t discriminate by genre. However, most posts you see here will be about general fiction.
Most commonly featured is whatever we’re reading for our book club group on Goodreads.
What is your favorite book(s)?
I have more favorite books than can be listed here!
So far this year, I have only handed out four 5-star ratings.
Ink Mage
Days of Blood & Starlight
The Rosie Project
We Were Liars
What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?
The best thing about book blogging is YOU, the readers!
The best thing that has happened as a result of book blogging is interacting with all of the other awesome book bloggers.
I couldn’t be more proud to be part of such a wonderful community.
Our Feature - The Whimsical Mama
1. When did you start blogging?
I started blogging in 2011, but didn't start book blogging until July 2013. Crazy that it's been a year now! (I have a blogoversary celebration giveaway going on if you'd like to check it out!)
2. What is your favorite part of book blogging?
My favourite thing about book blogging has been building some great relationships with authors and readers from all over! I've made some great friends this year and look forward to making more!
3. What type of books do you mainly blog about?
I focus mainly on young adult books. I have featured the occasional adult or middle grade novel. I also have a feature called Tot Time Thursday where my kiddos help feature some of their current favourites.
4. What are your favorite books?
Ack! This is still such a hard question. Harry Potter still holds a special place in my heart. Especially now that my son has asked to listen to the audiobooks/have me read them to him. Since I started blogging, I would have to say a few favourites have been Infinite by Jodi Meadows, Waterfell by Amalie Howard, and The Falconer by Elizabeth May. There are plenty of others, these are just off the top of my head. (:
5. What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?
I would have to say having lunch with Jodi Meadows for my birthday! Okay, it wasn't exactly FOR my birthday, it just happened to work out that way. Haha. My in-laws live in Northern VA and I happened to have the chance to meet up with Jodi and have lunch. It was such a great experience! If it hadn't been for book blogging, I would've never connected with her or had the chance to meet her!
Question of the Week: If you had a time machine (i.e. a TARDIS), where would you go?
If I had a time machine I would love to go back to New Orleans when Marie Laveau was alive.
