Along with the question!

Go count the number of unread books sitting on your shelf. How many?

Now that is an interesting question. Let's add it all up then . . .

3 books on their way from B&N

52 books in box 1

40 books in box 2

Grand total: 110

How many books do you have in your pile?!

It's that time of the week again: Feature and Follow Friday! 

And here's the Feature of the Week:

Along with the question!

The New Year is here -- and everyone wants to know your New Years Blogging Resolution! What are you going to try to revise, revamp and redo for 2012 on your blog?

Funny enough, I addressed this is a bit with my writing goals. 

But I'm willing to address it some more here:

1. More Book Reviews

I want to share more with my followers great books that I find, but lately, I haven't found a lot of outstanding, blow me away books. Sure, I will admit I met quite a few who came close but none that made me sit down and go woah.

So I'm going to read more books and try to find some more brain blowers like Watchmen. :)

2. Feature authors and their books more

I would love to have more indie authors on my blog to feature their books and their journey to self-publishing. That would be epically awesome. I might have to set it up one day, but I def want more authors on my blog sharing their story.

3.  Post about more writer tips and random hot topics.

Sometimes, I really think most of my followers are readers, so they obviously don't want to hear about how to write better. Therefore, I tend to inject writer tips once in a blue moon. But I really want to help fellow authors find this blog and use my tips to their advantage. 

Henceforth, and yes henceforth, I would like to add more posts about writing stuff and maybe have some posts that will stimulate conversation and debate.

I love a great post that will not only challenge my readers about how the world is, but how they think about it. So I would love to have more post like that, but it takes a lot to get me riled up and to write it. But I'll try.

Those are the three things I want to improve my blog, what about yours?

And if you don't have a blog, then what are the three things you would like to improve about your life in general?

Feature and Follow #2

It's that time of the week again: Feature and Follow Friday! 

And here's the Feature of the Week:

And now for this weeks question: When you've read a book, what do you do with it? (Keep it, give it away, donate it, sell it, swap it..?)


For me, it depends. If I didn't like the book, then I usually donate it to the library. I actually donated the whole Private series by Kate Brian to the library once. Since I buy from them and support them continually anyway. Besides, I love libraries. They are my second home.

Anyway, if I loved the book, I keep it for like ever. And I gaze upon and sigh and usually say, "Man that was an awesome book. Let's see if I can find any more books from that author . . ."

Usually what happens though, I borrow the book first from the library and I buy it if I really, really liked it. But I have to return it! So that's sad, but like I said, it depends on how much I lurved the book.

Feature and Follow

Feature and Follow My Book Blog Friday is a weekly meme where participants hop from one blog to the next using the linky on Parajunkee’s or Alison Can Read’s site, follow, say hi and discuss books. This week’s features are:

                                              

This week's question is:

Question: Keeping with the Spirit of Giving this season, what book do you think EVERYONE should read and if you could, you would buy it for all of your family and friends?

Oh wow, this is a tough one but I think everybody who loves Family Guy and wants a great laugh this season with some emotional depth, I would def pick:

I absolutely ADORE this book and I think that everybody should be given this. It's a great laugh, deep emotions, and great characters. I would love to see another book from this author, but surprisingly, he doesn't have any. :(

And I would def buy this book for everybody! It's a great book! Why wouldn't I?

Now what book would y'all give?
