Let’s Do The Hop & Follow, Again! {#13}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey Everyone! Wow it seems like it’s been forever since I participated on the Hop, so here I am! =)

I’m still in NY at my friend’s place and after an awesome Halloween, I am really looking forward to Thanksgiving! I’ve been packing up so many books so I can mail them to Brazil, since there’s no way I can take them all in my luggage LOL

I have been doing a fair amount of reading and reviewing lately…

 

Books Reads {Reviews coming very soon}:

• Night Betrayed by Joss Ware
• Night’s Cold Kiss by Tracey O’hara
• Fire Burn & Cauldron Bubble by H.P. Mallory
• Blood Lust by Zoe Winters
• Firewalker by Allyson James

Giveaways:

***Disclaimer: I will be hopping by blogs that are new to me and blogs of people that have commented here… I wish i could, but I won’t have time to hop by all the blogs on the hops!

 

Every week Jen from Crazy-for-Books asks us a question to answer on the Hop, This week’s is:

 

 

"If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?"

YES! I actually have OCD about that! I have tried and started series out of order and I find that I can’t read the books previous to the one I have read. It’s really weird!

I think that this would work if it was a Paranormal Romance series, since each books has a different HEA. But I just don’t like it! At All!!!

Book Blogger Hop / Follow My Book Blog Friday & Weekly Round-Up! {#12}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey Everyone! After a bit of a hiatus from the Hop, I am back =)

I’ve been in a crazy reading mood lately, that I read 6 books in the past 6 days and I can’t seem to stop, not that I want to =P

My week has been good, so check out what I’ve and what I have going on…

This week’s posts:

Reviews:

• Dark Time {Mortal Path #1} by Dakota Banks

• Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

• Sacrifice {Mortal Path #2} by Dakota Banks

Interview:

• Author Jaime Rush

Giveaways:

• - Win a SIGNED copy of "Seduced by the Wolf" by Terry Spear {International} Ends Aug 28th!
• - Win 1 of 3 Copies of "Touching Darkness" by Jaime Rush! {U.S. Only} Ends Aug 30th!
• - 1027+ Follower & Bday Blow Out! 6+ Winners / 11 Prize Packs! {International} Ends Oct 11th!

 

I’ve also have started a SPOILER ZONE Discussion post for Mockingjay:

 

 

Every week Jen from Crazy-for-Books asks us a question to answer on the Hop, This week’s is:

 

Do you use a rating system for your reviews and if so, what is it and why?

 

Yep. I rate the books I read in “Loveys” on a scale of 1 to 5. I don’t remember where the name Loveys came from, it just happened hehe. I love the crazy number of different rating systems we see around the book blogging community and to be quite honest, the rating is the first thing I look at when I read a review… It actually bothers me when there is no rating LOL

I just know this is my OCD talking =P

Do you listen to music when you read? If so, what are your favorite reading tunes?

I LOVE music, but I can’t listen to is when I’m reading, it disturbs my concentration and I can’t get lost in the story that way. However i do listen to it constantly when I’m not reading, specially when i’m working on the blog.

I LOVE pop music, hip hop, R&B, pop rock, Rock… I listen to anything hehe

From Miley Syrus to Katy Perry, from David Gueta to Eminem, from Green Day to Lifehouse and so on…

Check out Barbara’s Blog:

I have so many favorites and I follow over 100 book series, but there are those authors that started my love for books and those that are simply an authomatic buy for me whenever a new book is out =)

Some of them are:

• Agatha Christie
• Ilona Andrews
• MaryJanice Davidson
• Richelle Mead
• Jeri Smith-Ready

What is not to love about these ladies’ books?
