Feature and Follow Friday (25th November)

 
Weekly meme hosted by the amazing

Parajunkee & Alison Can Read

This weeks featured blogs: The Book Addict and Books & Beyond

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: It’s Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. so we want to know what you are Thankful for – blogging related of course! Who has helped you out along the way? What books are you thankful for reading?

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia but I have loved the online messages I have been seeing, it sounds like an enjoyable holiday and a wonderful way to give thanks! 

The people I am most grateful and thankful for are my family for supporting my habit/obsession with books, especially my husband who just loves seeing the bank statement monthly listing my book purchases ;)

There are so many amazing blogs I follow and blogger friends as well as authors who I adore and am certainly thankful for! I don't want to list anyone in case I forgot someone :) but keeping in contact through tweets/personal messages/blog visits etc. means the world to me.

I am also extremely thankful to my followers! it makes blogging so worthwhile when you get that sweet comment or wonderful personal message or tweet.  

What to do..

  • 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
  • Follow the featured weekly bloggers 
  • 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"
  • If someone comments and says they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the Love...and the followers
  • If you're new to the follow Friday hop, comment and let me know, so I can stop by and check out your blog!

Reviews this week: 

  • Head Over Heels (Lucky Harbor #3) by Jill Shalvis
  • Descended by Blood (Vampire Born) by Angeline Kace
  • Matched (Matched #1) by Ally Condie
