Feature and Follow #47


Feature & Follow is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee & Alison Can Read.

Here’s this week’s question:

Share something you’ve learned about book blogging or just blogging in general in the last month.

I have come to realise that I enjoy Beta reading for Authors!! I have done a few lately and having that one-on-one interaction with Authors is awesome! I can share my thoughts with them before the book is even released, give opinions and generally chat! It has even make me think that I may do a massive career change in the future!!

 Here is one example you must get onto!!

To play along visit Parajunkee & Alison Can Read.
Follow them, follow their Featured Blogs and then visit as many blogs as you can, posting your answer.

What do you think? Please leave a comment below with your Feature and Follow link so I can check out yours too!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great Friday!!

    I'd never even heard of Beta reading before now! It sounds awesome. Maybe it's something I'll look into too :)

    I have beta read coming up, and I can't wait to do it. I adore the author, and love being able to help. Great answer. :)

    Beta-reading is great fun! But it can be a little tricky as well :D even more so than just writing a review I think. Because you get to know the author, and so it's not always easy to critisize anything... Great answer, Naomi!

    Thanks for stopping by my FF post earlier. Happy Friday!

    I really liked beta-reading too, but it takes so much time! It took me like 30 hours per book to LBL critique. As oppose to it only taking 3-4 hours to read a book from start to finish.


    I've heard only great things about Trisha Wolfe, so I'll add it to my TBR list. Thanks for visiting my blog!

    I've beta-read once, and I enjoyed the experience. Maybe one day I'll be asked to do it more often. :) That's really cool that you got to for that book. I'm signing up for the blog tour through YA Bound, and my fingers are crossed I make it, lol. :D
