Follow Friday - Blogger Hop - TGIF

 



Name 3 authors that you would love to sit down and spend an hour or a meal with just talking about either their books or get advice on writing from?

1) Lauren Oliver - I love her work so much (Before I fall and Delirium) because the books are so real- have real life lessons to learn in them and she sounds so lovely from the blogs she writes! 

2) Lauren Kate - I love love love her Fallen series and also Lauren Kate wrote the books that influenced me to write my own! Thank you!

3) Maggie Steifvater - The shiver series is one of my favourite series and plus Maggie is also an artist and I love both writing fiction and art too! She sounds awesome! 


What's the ONE GENRE you wish you could read but just can't get into?

Ummm... science fiction thriller stuff, I don't know why, but I do find that interesting but I know it would take me so much effort to try and get hooked into a book! If you've read any and have any suggestions would love them, thanks! 








Where do you keep your books at home? Are they organized?

Yea actually kind of, they are on a shelf on the wall and on a small bookcase underneath but now they are overflowing so I wouldn't say organized. But I do put series in order and put books by the same author together (OCD alert). See a couple of posts down to see pictures of my overflowing bookcase + organized shelf.

    Re: Book Blogger Hop
    It seems like sci-fi is a popular one this week. I don't like this genre either!

    I know what you mean about not liking the Sci-Fi Thriller stuff...I just tried out Michael Koryta's The Cypress House, and it wasn't for me at all.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog - I'm a new follower here. I've actually been lucky enough to meet these authors (but only very briefly), and they are all amazing people!

    Hope you have a great weekend!

    Totally agree with science fiction. I have the hardest time even picking up a book like that. I'm a new follower. My answers are up at Coffee Table Reviews.

    All my bookshelves are overflowing, so my books aren't very organized either. I either need more bookshelves or fewer books - I chose the former :)

    Glad to have found you via the Hop!

    Lauren Kate is a great author! I just bought Shiver, Linger and ....I'm at a loss for the other book. Anyway, can't wait to read them.

    New follower found thru hops. Returning the favor. Thanks!

    Hey, hopping by :)

    So many people are saying Sci fiction as a genre they can't get into. I have to say, it's not my favourite either.

    Happy Hopping

    Hello! Thanks for stopping by my blog!!

    I love the Shiver series as well. I remember when Shiver first came out. I actually got an ARC of Linger (my first ARC). I totally agree with the whole science fiction thing. Not something I can get into.

    ~Happy Reading!~
