Feature and Follow Friday--Best Covers


Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & 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 & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee 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 show off more new blogs! 

How does this work? First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools -- keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them "hi" in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you! 

Hop over to Alison Can Read for the feature!

Q: Best cover? What is the best cover of a book that you've read and loved?

I'm going to have to do a Wheel of Time plug here. A month before I began my sophmore year of high school, I went into Media Play (now defunct) and saw a huge display that had this book on it: *slide eyes to right*

The title is A Path of Daggers.

For some reason, I went back to that same store two or three times in two weeks. Each time, I picked up the book and just thought it looked awesome. I love high fantasy. Anything with kings, queens, armies, knights, swords...you get the picture. The only problem was that this was Book 8! Finally, two weeks before starting school, I bought book one. The rest is history: my love affair with Robert Jordan's world of The Wheel of Time had begun. When the final book comes out in January--sadly--it will end. So that's my best cover story for fantasy. 

Hop over to my other blog to see what it is for historical fiction! :D

Don't know what this is? Click here.

Again, I don't usually do these on Fridays, but I've been kind of remiss this week so I'm doing one today. Yesterday's RMQ was:  "What's he do? Nibble your bum?"

Alex Cavanaugh guessed the film. It was Monty Python and the Holy Grail! Good job, Alex! No one guessed the actor or character, but that's okay. One point for Alex. 






Now onto today's RMQ:


"Did you see that [name]? She stole that tie! It's the perfect crime--girls don't well ties!" "Yes, if she murdered the tie it would be a perfect crime."

So five points possible for this one: the character and actor for the first line, the character and actor for the second line, and the film.

Any guesses?

      Sorry about the image! Not sure why it won't. It's just a movie poster for the Monty Python movie. Thanks for following, though. :D

    Hey LK! Is it worth reading? I loved Sanderson's Mistborn if that's any help. Would you recommend me?

    Can I tell you that the only reason I *didn't* pick a wheel of time book for this is that I couldn't decide which one? I was too torn up about it and just went with something else. ;-)
