Follow My Book Blog Friday - 13

---

**Welcome to the Feature & Follow**

If you are new to the #FF fun, Feature & Follow Friday is a blog hop that expands your blog following by a joint effort between bloggers. Feature & Follow Friday is now hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of course and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!

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 (on Parajunkee's site) above FEATURES --> Feature and Follow Hop --> and get on the waiting list! It is also required, that if you participate you must follow the hosts (Parajunkee & Alison Can Read) and the two Feature blogs.

**Parajunkee's Feature - Ali's Bookshelf Reviews** 

 

Ali is a college student studying Physical therapy aide and Massage Therapy at the same time also she is a mother of two. Her kids are the world to her and she even blogs with her little girl in a feature called Mini Me Corner Review. Being a book blogger is one of her hobbies she loves the most and her motto is you can never have to many books!


Sharing her love of books with everyone she meets is something else she loves. Ali reads pretty much anything she can get her hands on but she loves Fantasy, Dystopian, YA, chicklit, etc.

**Allison Can Read's Feature – The Housework Can Wait**

 

Hey there! My name is Lauren and I'm a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom for two little girls/walking, talking balls of energy. I spend a large portion of time just waiting for one of them to spontaneously combust. It really wouldn't be surprising.

I started my blog because I love to read (when I can squeeze it in around work and my various Mommy duties) and I always want to talk about the books I read after I finish them. The problem is that most of my friends don't read what I read. And those that do, don't want to drop their work/Mommy duties at my every whim to talk about the books I read. Blogging is the perfect outlet for me to get all my words out of my brain and out into the world. And the best part is, I've ""met"" other people who like the same kind of stuff I do! Huzzah!

My favorite books include Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, the Farseer/Liveship/Tawny Man trilogies by Robin Hobb, the Ender/Shadow series by Orson Scott Card, and The Princess Bride by William Goldman. Right now I'm trying to finish Glitch by Heather Anastasiu, but it's proving difficult since it's on my iPad and my 3-year-old keeps stealing it to do puzzle apps. So I'm getting ready to start The False Prince by Jennifer Nielsen.

   

**Question**

Q: What is one thing you wish you could tell your favorite author?

A: Okay, so I have way to many favorite authors to be able to pick one, but I do have one author I would tell something too. Ms. Julie Garwood ~ WHY?????? Why did you stop writing historical romance? *cries* WHY?????????? Not that I don't enjoy the contemporary books, but they are all kind of - I don't know - the same. The historicals were fabulous and the contemporaries, well, aren't. I mean seriously? The best we can get out of the author who wrote Saving Grace, The Claybourne Brides, and let's not forget Honor's Splendor is this same ole' same ole' contemporary stuff? You are killing me Ms. Garwood! Killing! Me! Please, for the love of all that is holy ... BRING BACK THE HR!!!!!!
