Follow Friday and Book Blogger Hop Friday

By

Yeah!!  It’s Friday!!  Time for some of my favorite activities 🙂  Friday is always a busy day with follows.  We’ll start with Parajunkee’s Follow Friday.  This is a popular activity, usually attracting lots of bloggers.   Every week a blog is featured.  Drop over to Parajunkee’s blog and find out who is featured this week and join in the fun!  This weeks question is asking us to think about a new under-recognized author.  I tend to read rather mainstream, well seasoned authors!  I’ve been trying to branch out a bit and lately I’ve read several books by Lauren Dane and was hugely impressed!

Our next activity is Book Blogger Hop sponsored by Jennifer at Crazy-For-Books.  This, also, is a very popular weekly meme!    Every week Jennifer posts a question that we all need to answer. This weeks question is what do you like the most about book blog follows?  I’d have to say that I love wandering from blog to blog reading reviews and finding new books that I’m interested in reading – or just admiring some of the amazing artwork on books covers!   Again, join up and have some fun with us!

The last activity for this Friday (I think) is the Follow Friday for 40 and over Bloggers hosted by Java at Never Growing Old.  I like this activity also as it brings together a different group of bloggers so I get to find new blogs to read 🙂  Every week she features a new blog.  Head over and find out who it is this week and  join in this fun also!

Happy Friday!

    Hey, Barb, just hopping by. I have to say, you’ve got yourself a new follower, simply from the books I saw that you love in your widgets. Anyone who loves Lisa Kleypas and Julia Quinn is my kind of blogger! Happy Friday!

    Darling, I just love reading about books I never heard of before and finding great reviews on books that I’ve been wanting to read. Plus making new friends is always a plus 🙂

    I think the most undervalued authors are the Indie Authors. Noah my lovely Igor created a wonderful badge for me, us!!

    Pleasant hopping to you,
