Feature and Follow #57 ~ Embarrassing Book

Here’s this week’s question:

What book are you embarrassed to admit you LOVED? (try to think beyond Twilight)

Well, I'm not afraid to say that I read the 50 Shades of Grey series... and loved it.

Oh, and the Original Sinner series by Tiffany Reisz... Very controversial, but very good!!

Here’s this week’s question:

Bookagram: Photograph your fave read in a funny place.

Well, I was going through my books trying to pick one of my favourite books that I haven't raved about in a while, and these beauties escaped!! Damn were's!!

Here’s this week’s question:

Feature your own favourite blogger, have it be a surprise.

I have lots of favourite bloggers that I try to visit daily... But one in particular that I have struck up a new friendship with is Berls @ Fantasy Is More Fun. We have similar tastes in our paranormal books and I have been teaching her some of my Aussie slang!!

Here’s this week’s question:

What book (or TV show or movie) have you not read that seemingly everyone else has?

I have a couple that come to mind, the first is the Hunger Games. I have seen the movie, I have the books, but haven't read them.

Also, Game of Thrones seems really popular. I haven't read or seen the TV series... but I am certainly intrigued by them both. I need more hours in the day!!

Here’s this week’s question:

Reading Nook Tour: Give us a tour of your favorite reading spots.

And here is the view. Can what the kids and relax in th peace and quiet!!

Feature and Follow #52 ~ Favourite Picture Books from Childhood

Here’s this week’s question:

What were some of your favourite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?

Believe it or not, I still have some of my books from when I was a kid and have passed them on to my daughter. She is 8 now and has started reading them a lot lately. Here are some snaps of them...

As you can see, this was my Winnie the Pooh collection and the front book, Pooh's Very Own First Book is very worn and lost it's spine!! I loved that book.

Here’s this week’s question:

It is up to you to do a Kickstarter campaign for your favorite book!!! Who are you casting for the main characters?

So if you didn't know by now (you will in the future for sure) I am on a Chicagoland Vampire kick at the moment, so I have been picturing the characters in my head. And as usual... I picked fellow Aussies to star!!

Merit would have to be Rose Byrne... She is just stunning, and can pull of the fringe/bangs so well!!

And good ol' Chis Hemsworth... He is one sexy man!! He could be Ethan Sullivan for sure!!

What do you think??

Here’s this week’s question:

Bookshelf Tour. Give us a tour of your bookshelf.

I have lots of books and not all of them are together. I gave you all a peek at them a few weeks ago, but this week I decided to spread them out so you can see them all. I also have over 500 books on my iPad, spread out between my Kindle and iBooks app's.

Here’s this week’s question:

If you could only have ONE – one book – for the rest of your life. Don’t cheat…what would it be?

It is so hard to pick just ONE book!! I have so many favourite books and series, it is hard to go through and pick just one! What if my favourite series was released as a Omnibus book, all of them in one big Vampire bible!! lol Now that I could deal with, because I need all the books in the series to see what would happen next! Right now, I am addicted to the Chicagoland Vampires series by Chloe Neill. It has everything I love! Paranormal, action, humour and sexual frustration!! I LOVE IT!! I would definitely read this series over and over!

Here’s this week’s question:

Book Selfie! Snap a picture of you and your current read.

I have just finished the Arc of Tempting the Stars by Karen Chance! I have been hanging for this one and i was able to snag a eCopy from Penguin Australia!

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!!

Feature and Follow #40

Here’s this week’s question:

Activity: Favorite Literary Quote

I have so many I could choose from, but I decided to pick one from a book I have just finished. It is so sweet!!

Conquer Your Love by J.C. Reed

“I’d do anything for you. You know that?” he whispered into my ear. “If you fell, I’d hold you. If you were afraid, I’d wrap my arms around you and take away your fears. I’d die to keep you safe, but more than anything I’d do whatever it takes to keep you by my side. For you I’d conquer anything, everything, anytime.”

What do you think?

What's your FF?
