Book Blogger Hop (36) & Follow Friday (28)

It's Friday so it means it's time for the Book Blogger Hop and Follow Friday!

First off, the Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jennifer of Crazy-for-Books. It is a way for all the book bloggers out there to get together and find out about each other's blogs. I've found a lot of great blogs and bloggers through this hop and it's always fun to take part in each week.

The Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee's View each week. It works a lot like the Book Blogger Hop except that it's only on Fridays. I haven't been taking part in this hop as long but I've found a lot of great new blogs through this one too.

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

DO YOU JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER?

Sadly yes. Unless I know about a book ahead of time, what's going to draw me in when I see it on the shelf at the bookstore is the cover. I am a lot more likely to pick up a book with a pretty cover than one which isn't so pretty. Sure I may be missing out on some great books, but it's just so hard not too judge based on the cover.

That's it for this week!

Enjoy your weekends!

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

SINCE TODAY IS APRIL'S FOOL'S DAY IN THE USA, WHAT IS THE BEST PRANK THAT YOU HAVE EVER PLAYED ON SOMEONE OR THAT SOMEONE HAS PLAYED ON YOU?

I don't actually get into April Fool's all that much and I'm not that much of a prankster myself. I honestly don't remember ever playing a prank on someone or having one played on me. There was a time I was pretty gullible but for some reasons my friends were nice and didn't take advantage of that (for which I thank them today). So I guess this is a pretty boring answer.

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

IF YOU COULD PHYSICALLY PUT YOURSELF INTO A BOOK OR SERIES...WHICH ONE WOULD IT BE AND WHY?

If I was able to be part of a book or series I think I would go with the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. What attracts me to that series isn't even the vampire aspect of it but all of the characters in the books. I would love a chance to be friends with Rose and Lissa and just to be involve in all of their crazy schemes and plans.

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

INSPIRED BY THE INANE TWITTER TREND OF #100FACTSABOUTME, GIVE US FIVE BOOK RELATED SILLY FACTS ABOUT YOU.

1. Technically speaking I can read books in three languages. I'm originally French and still read a number of books in that language, I did Spanish all through high school though a book in Spanish would take me a lot longer to read (though I have done it) and obviously I read in English.

2. Except on a few very rare occasions, I cannot walk into a bookstore and walk back out empty handed.

3. Obviously I've always loved to read, but I was one of those people who practically knew how to read before starting kindergarten.

4. Currently, I am running out of space to put my books since my room isn't exactly very big so they are piled all over the place.

5. I am known for going on book related rants (or gushing sessions) to my friends even when they have no clue what I'm talking about.

That's it for this week!

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

DO YOU READ ONLY ONE BOOK AT A TIME, OR DO YOU HAVE SEVERAL GOING AT ONCE?

It used to be that I would only read more than one book at a time when I absolutely had to. The only other times I would read more than one book were when they were completely different (like reading one for school and reading one for pleasure). Now that I have a Kindle, I'm reading three books at once. Because it's so practical, I take my Kindle with me everywhere so I'll be reading on there but then when I get home I pick up an actual book. Thankfully I don't get the stories confused but sometimes I loose track of what's happening where.

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH YOUR BLOG NAME?

Well there really isn't that much to it. My name's Emilie and I tend to be in a world of books most of the time so that's how I ended up with "Emilie's Book World". Not very creative, I know...I tend to lack imagination sometimes.

That's it for this week!

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

"If I gave you £50 (or $80) and sent you into a bookshop right now, what would be in your basket when you finally staggered to the till?"

I honestly don't know. I would probably go into the bookstore with the intentions of buying specific books but then I would end up with a completely different load when I come out. I can say though, that many of the books would be books in series that I haven't bough yet for series I want the complete set. And the rest would be recent releases that I just haven't gotten around to buying. Just go look at my Goodreads "wish list" bookshelf and you'll have a pretty good idea of what I would come out with.

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

Just like Ashley said (love it) "Ashley the girl..." who are You the Boy/Girl, instead of You the Blogger?

Other than a crazy book reader and blogger, I am a 20 year old university student. I am halfway through my degree and I am still deciding what I want to do once I graduate and I have my degree. Lucky for me, I still have two years to figure it out. Outside of books, I love pretty much any kind of music and have an interest in sports, having been a competitive athlete in high school. So if I'm not reading or blogging, you'll find me either listening to music, watching TV or doing homework...or any combination of those, I tend to multi-task a lot.

That's it for this week!

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

DO YOU EVER WISH YOU WOULD HAVE NAMED YOUR BLOG SOMETHING DIFFERENT?

Sometimes I do sometimes I don't. For the greater majority of the time I love it. Plus I live in a world of books so the name is appropriate in that sense. Anyways, if I were to change it I have no idea what I would even change it to.

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

SHARE YOUR CURRENT FAVE TELEVISION SHOW! TELL US A BIT ABOUT IT...

I watch A LOT of TV, probably more than I really should but I can't seem to stop. What doesn't help is that most of the shows I watch tend to last a while so they don't get replaced by new ones. New ones just get added to the list. But as far as favorite goes I would have to say One Tree Hill. I've been watching it since the very beginning and I'll be sad when it ends (supposedly) after this season. It had its highs and lows but right now it really good (at least according to me). Basically the show revolves around the lives of characters who lives in the town of Tree Hill, North Carolina. When it started it out, the main characters were in high school but now they're adults with families of their own.

That's it for this week!

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

TELL US ABOUT ONE OF YOUR POSTS FROM THIS WEEK AND GIVE US A LINK SO WE CAN READ IT (REVIEW OR OTHERWISE)!

This week has been a bit of a slow week but I'm in the middle of midterms so I had to focus on school more. But if you want to check out my review of Boys Don't Cry by Malorie Blackman, feel free to do so. This is a British title and I don't know that it's out in North America. Malorie Blackman is a fantastic author and I definitely recommend you check her out.

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ROMANCE HERO-TYPE? STEREOTYPE WISE. DO YOU LIKE THE STRONG SILENT TYPE OR THE BRUTE MACHO MAN?

I tend to fall really easily for the bad guy types in most of what I read...either that or the silent brooding type. I really don't know why. However those aren't really the types of guys I go for in real life.

UPDATE:

I only have one more week of classes and then I'm off for a week for reading week. And after that I really only have a month of classes left before exams. So this year went by fast. I plan on catching up on my reading during that week off, it is called READING week after all (granted I'm supposed to do school work too). Since January I haven't really read all that much which makes me kind of sad but I fully plan to rectify that come reading week.

That's it for this week!

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

WHAT ARE YOU READING RIGHT NOW AND WHY ARE YOU READING IT?

Right now I'm currently reading The Vyne by Daniel Walls. I'm part of the blog tour for this book and have already interviewed the author on the blog and I have a review coming up for it in a week. I've also just started reading The Other Side of the Story by Marian Keyes. This one isn't a YA title but I needed something different to read and so far it's pretty good.

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

WHAT BOOK ARE YOU CURRENTLY "PUSHING"?

I don't know that I'm pushing a particular book. A lot of people around me aren't all that into reading or are to busy with school to read anything other than textbooks. So I guess you could say I'm pushing reading in general and particularly YA books just because they are so much better than people tend to think.

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

WHAT BOOK ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING PUBLISHED IN 2011? WHY ARE YOU ANTICIPATING THAT BOOK?

I have to say the book I am most looking forward to is City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare. I absolutely loved the first three Mortal Instruments books and I can't wait to read more. And of course I can't wait to be reunited with Jace, I mean who wouldn't?

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

WHAT IS/WAS YOUR FAVORITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL?

Despite my love for books, English wasn't actually my favorite subject in school. I liked history better and to be honest I still do. Give me anything to do with history and I'm pretty much guaranteed to enjoy it. And at the same time, I'm also a pretty big history geek.

UPDATE:

None for this week!
