Feature & Follow Friday: New and Unusual Things in 2013

hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.

Tell us at least one new or unusual thing you’ve done in 2013.

Well, the biggest "new" thing I've done this year was start nursing school. Which in itself leads to many more new things and I guess even usual things. But because of laws and stuff I can't really talk about that stuff on here.

Another new thing I did earlier in the year was volunteer at my local humane society. One of the most fun and awesome experiences ever. Also, further sealing my obsession with cats!

Oh, and I started working as a CNA for the first time, too! 

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Today's Question:

Activity! Hopefully warm weather for most of us is here soon…so tell us about your favorite outdoor reading spot. Or take a picture.

I live in an apartment complex, but fortunately on the second floor with a pool view so during spring weather days thats always a nice place to read. We have a dog park in our complex, too, which also a great spot to let the dog run while reading. But when it gets really warm I'll be at the pool! :)

Today's Question:
What is a book you didn’t like that all your friends raved about or what book did you love that wasn’t popular?

It's happened to me a few times that I just didn't love the books that everyone else in the world seemed to love. The ones I can name of the top of my head are Shiver, Under the Never Sky, and Fifty Shades of Grey. Don't get me wrong I thought all of these were okay, I didn't not like them, I just didn't understand the hype surrounding them. I was disappointed because I really, really wanted to love both Shiver and Under the Never Sky.

I don't think I'll continue on with the rest of the Wolves of Mercy Falls series because I really just wasn't that into it, but I will continue with the Under the Never Sky series. By the ending I was getting a little more intrigued.  Oh, I won't be continuing with Fifty Shades either. I only read that out of pure curiosity. I mean, even women that I know to NEVER pick up a book read and loved Fifty Shades!

Some books I really loved that haven't been too popular were Cold Kiss and Glass Heart by Amy Garvey. I really enjoyed these but I haven't noticed too many people reading them. I'd definitely recommend them though and I also have reviews up for them.

Feature & Follow #5

Feature & Follow Friday is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.

Q: Books are turned into movies all the time! Turn it around. What movie would make a great book?

 

Every single time I watch An Affair to Remember, a 1957 film starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, I find myself wishing it was also in novel form. It is one of my top favorite movies and I know if it was a book I'd absolutely love it.

It's ranked #5 on AFI's list of Greatest American Love Stories. I just KNOW if it was in written form this romance would come across even more beautiful.

 Here is a summary from Wikipedia for those that have never seen it.

Q: What is a deal breaker for you in a book? For example, do you abhor love triangles? Or can’t deal with bad editing?

I remember giving up on only one book in the last few years. It was because the writing style was so "cheesy" I just couldn't take it. Serious moments had me laughing. Basically, an author's tone is my deal breaker. I also hate when a a book takes place in a different type of world and the characters do or say something that doesn't make sense in that setting or situation.

The Question:

When you step out of your USUAL genre what do you like to read? Best books in that genre?

I don't really consider myself having a usual genre. I read mostly YA lately (contemporary, dystopian, and paranormal) but I also enjoy adult historical fiction (mostly southern) and christian fiction. Occasionally, I do like to step out of fiction all together and read non-fiction US history or even memoirs sometimes.

This Week's Question:

 What book do you think would make a great Halloween movie? Please explain in graphic detail of goriness…

 

Well, to be honest, I haven't really read much (if any) in the appropriate genre for this so I can't really think of anything. The very closest I could come would be Cold Kiss by Amy Garvey which I read last week. It has a zombie boyfriend, some witchcraft, and a few graveyards scenes. Not really all that scary, though. But I tried! However, I am extremely open and welcoming to some good suggestions. I'd love to get a pile of books going for the week of Halloween!

What do you hope to accomplish with your blog? Is it to one day become an author yourself, just for fun, maybe get some online attention, or maybe something very different?

My blog is definitely just for fun. It's nice to take a break from the stress of school and work to get into one of my favorite things: reading! I don't really have anyone "in real life" who is interested in books like I am. Book blogging is a great way to talk about what I'm reading with others and hear what they have to say, too. I really have no interest in becoming a writer myself or gaining "attention". I just want to be able to share my love of books with others who have the same love.
