Book Blogger Hop and Follow Friday - May 20th

Book Blogger Hop
Crazy-For-Books is hosting a Book Blog Party!  If you have a book blog and want to participate click here.

"If you were given the chance to spend one day in a fictional world (from a book), which book would it be from and what would that place be?"

Our answer:  That's easy! I'd spend the day (or week. Hell, a lifetime!) in the Brotherhood mansion! As you can probably tell, I adore J.R. Ward's BDB world, so to spend even a minute within those walls would be awesome! To be more specific, I would love to "relive" the scene in Dark Lover when Wrath and Beth get mated. Really, witnessing any of the mating ceremonies would be cool! Or what about Butch's induction into the Brotherhood? Or how about a training session? Hmmm. Decisions, decisions.




Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee

Second week this is so exciting, and hope to meet and follow a lot of you!  I love this question by the way...

"It's circle time.  Time for us to open up and share.  Can you tell us FIVE quirky habits or things about you?  We all have them..."

Now, don't laugh at our quirky habits!!!! LOL  OK, you can...

1. I can't go to sleep if the sheets are not perfectly pulled. If they bunch up for any reason, I have to fix them back or it drives me nuts.
2. I only cut my hair during a new moon. It's supposed to make your hair grow faster. I even have a printed new moon dates calendar thing on my desk so I can schedule my hairstylist appointments.
3. I don't like to eat cereal for breakfast. It's too sweet that early in the morning. But I LOVE to eat it as a midnight snack.
4. If I have a signed/personalized copy of a book, I buy another copy to actually read while the signed one stays on my shelf, untouched.
5. The first website I ever made was a fansite about the TV show Dawson's Creek.  It actually became a very popular fansite and at the time I was selected to create an unofficial fansite for Joshua Jackson and James Van Der Beek.  I ran all of those for a few years, and no, they're not still up.  But I made a lot of great friends, some I still talk to.



Photobucket
18 and Over Book Bloggers Tag Along is for adult book bloggers to get to know each other and hopefully gain more followers and is hoted by Bitten by Paranormal Romance.

"Did you set yourself a reading goal?"

I have a reading goal for the year, for the week, for everything.  I have so many books to read, new ones coming out on my HAVE-TO-HAVE list and series I've started that I need to finish catching up, that at last count, this year I need to read 120 books to finish series (I'm 40 in) with a total goal of 200 books (which I'm 39% ahead).  So I'm doing pretty good at achieving it I think.  I also want to read 10 new series this year, and I've managed to complete 1 of them, and started working on 2 others.  Not too bad, huh?


This was so much fun!  What are yours?!?!!?

Loren Chase said...

I do the same thing when I have a signed copy of a book! It drives my mom nuts. So I have a lot of double copies of books! And I'm always waking up to fix my sheets. It drives me crazy when they're not straight. Have a great Friday! New follower;)

Omg!!! Francesca!!! That Dawson's Creek thing is hilarious!!! I feel weird commenting on our own blog, but I could not help myself! Too funny! I used to watch it before I went to school in the mornings! No Shame here!!

Francesca said...

LOL Yeah I know, you know it's bad when in my yearbook, where we each got a whole "description page" written by our bffs, they wrote this line "Francesca wants to become a graphic designer and have Pacey's babies."

Ann Craven said...

LMFAO! PACEEEEEEEY!!!

Not as bad as mine. For our graduation comment, mine says, "I'm a Jenius!"

Dawsons Creek... Niiice!

Much love for the brothers..true.

Alison Can Read said...

Hopping through. I've never thought about timing when I cut my hair. I only cut it once a year or so, so I don't think it matters for me.

Thanks for the follow. :) New follower... I like the trivia about cutting your hair during the New Moon... I'll have to try it. :) And I'm with you in the mansion... LOL Great idea!!

Ha ha. I have that quirk about my bed too!
I'm a new follower.

Here's my Follow Friday

Unknown said...

Hiya! Thanks for coming by and following! I'm following back. :D Love your blog ^^
Haha! I thought I was one of the only ones about the cereal thing. I don't eat much in the mornings at all, actually. But if I do eat breakfast any, it likely will not be cereal because that's my "midnight snack". lol. I don't own any signed books yet :( But I'm sure that when I do get some, I'll be the exact same way. I do own some very rare first edition special copies of books, and they stay shelved while I have duplicates that I use for reading. haha.
That's a neat list there.
Have a great weekend! :)

Thanks for stopping by. New follower. Love the hair cutting quirk, don't think I've heard that one before. Look forward to more from your blog.

Amanda from Novel Addiction said...

Hello! Thanks for dropping by my blog Novel Addiction! See? I knew with my show this weekend, that I wouldn't be able to hop until super late, so here I am... days later, argh, sorry!

Newest follower - I absolutely love your quirky 5 facts. I, too, am not a fan of bunched sheets! There's nothing better than my bed when I've just changed the sheets because everything just looks and smells so perfectly done, lol.

I hope you have a wonderful week, Happy Reading!
