Feature and Follow #79 -Have you ever convinced someone to read a book, a series, or a whole genre? What book(s) and who was it? Did they like it?
YAY it’s Friday! Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature and Follow! If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers — but you have to know — the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.The Feature and Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Rachel of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to meet more new bloggers!
What sets this Hop apart from others, is that our hosts feature two blogs. Every week they will each showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Just remember it is required, if you participate, to follow both their featured as well as our lovely hosts as a courtesy. How do you follow someone? Well, if you have a preference, state it in your Feature and follow post. I prefer being followed via e-mail, RSS / Bloglovin’ or Google+; but you can also like my Facebook page, or even follow me on Twitter.
Oh my goodness, yes! I know I have recommended several books to Brandee, (runs to check Brandee’s Goodreads Shelves), I think I introduced her to Brenda Novak’s Whiskey Creek series, which I absolutely love, and now Brandee does as well. She returns the favor quite frequently, though, and has introduced me to several books and series I love as well 🙂 What about you? Have you convinced someone to read a book or series you enjoyed? Did it work out well?
Thanks for stopping by today, have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend.
Our book club encourages reading just about EVERYTHING! We vote on monthly group reads to discuss. Sometimes we hate ’em; sometimes we love ’em. The most important thing is to have fun, right?
Exactly, I agree, sometimes, I don’t love what I read, but it’s always an experience 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Hi . . .Whiskey Creek series??? I will have to look that up 🙂
I love being asked to recommend books!
Hope you’re good??

Yeah, that series is made of awesome, Kristy! A contemporary romance series with a great group of friends 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.
I’ve never heard of Whiskey Creek. I’ll have to look that one up. Maybe I’ll read it sometime.

If you enjoy romance, you’d love it! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I’ve gotten my friend from high school to read tons of the books I’ve read over the years. She’s enjoyed nearly all of them too!
Here’s my Follow Friday
Have a GREAT weekend!
Old Follower 🙂
That’s really cool, Jessica. I wish more of my offline friends enjoyed reading as much as I do! At least I have my fellow bloggers now 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.
I frequently recommend books to fellow bloggers because usually I’ll have just finished it, and I need someone else to talk about it with. LOL I also get asked for werewolf recommendations all the time! I wonder why? 😉 Happy Friday Lexxie!
That’s a very good reason for recommending books, Carmel. I also get pretty frustrated sometimes if noone I know have read a book I really need to discuss with someone 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
That’s a good question this week. I have recommended books but never seem to check in to find out if they enjoyed it. I know, my bad 🙁
Good for you 🙂
Happy Friday!
I don’t know if other people to whom I have recommended books have read and enjoyed them, either, Shane 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.
Hi, love your blog! New follower. My FF @ http://www.ashes86blog.wordpress.com
Thank you Ashley 🙂 I hope you’ve had a great weekend!
Hey Lexxie;
I am the same with Kristen from My Bookish Fairytale! She actually started my blogging! I have introduced her to Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld series and she is constantly sharing her very extensive library!
I posted my very first Follow Friday today!

I love getting recommendations from people who enjoy the same books I do – even if it means my TBR will be never-ending 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Becca 🙂
I haven’t read Whiskey Creek, I’ll have to check it out. I’m a new follower on G+.
Diane @ Diane’s Book Blog
Oh, Whiskey Creek is awesome, Diane! I hope you’ll enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
It’s cool you get other people to read.
I’m going to make sure I’m following you.
Thanks, Jennifer 🙂 It’s nice to ‘meet’ you.
Yes, you did indeed make me a Whisky Creek fan, my dear. And a Mageri fan as well. And I have so many books on Mt TBR that came from your recommendations…it’s not funny! 🙂 I’m happy to have introduced you to JA Huss *squee* and Rock Chick! What are great book/blogging friends for, right??
I hope you had a fantabulous Friday and that you’ll enjoy your weekend! How many more papers until I have you back?? **BIG HUGS**
How could I forget about Mageri? JA Huss is made of awesome, so I’m really happy you’ve introduced me to her as well, Brandee! Rock Chick is great, too, I just need time to read, and I’ll continue reading 🙂
I now ‘only’ have three more papers to write, as well as two exams… My last exam is on June 5th, and after that, I’m FREEEEEEE! Thanks for stopping by, my dear 🙂 *BIG HUGS*
I feel recommendations should be a back and forth, that way you are bound to constantly have a flow of books you will like! I haven’t heard of the Whiskey Creek series, but I’ll have to check it out! I’m following on Bloglovin’ and Twitter! Thanks for sharing 🙂 I hope you have a great weekend!

I agree, Juli, but in some ways, I think Brandee and I influence each other to exercise our one-click-addiction far too often 😀
Thanks for stopping by!
