Book Blogger Hop (32) & Follow Friday (24)

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


Book Blogger Hop


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.


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.





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:


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!


Enjoy your weekends!

  1. Your bookstore answer sounds a lot like mine. I go in with certain intentions and then that all goes out the window when I walk in. Like a kid in a candy shop, I want it all.

  4. Hopping through. I know what you mean about coming out with a totally different set of books. Bookstores are dangerous.

  5. I'm already a follower and I had a similar answer to Ellie's question. I just gave general genres. I love to wander around bookstores looking at all the different covers.

    Come visit my blog if you get the chance: http://bookendcrossing.blogspot.com/2011/03/its-friday-time-to-blog-hop.html

    Have a great weekend!

  6. I think my bookstore answer would have been more honest if it had been like yours, I'd be bound to go off on a tangent and forget what I went in looking for. It happens every time I go to the library. New follower, have a great weekend.

  8. Hi! New Follower. I usually end of doing thing as you, going in with certain books in mind and then get completely distracted and buy more and completely different books.

  10. Hi, just hopping on by! I know exactly what you mean about coming in with certain intentions and leaving with something totally different. Every time I walk in, I can't help but grab all the books that have made it onto my to-read list (which is 450 books long or something crazy like that). Oh, also, I'm your 400th follower! Congratulations :)
