Follow Friday--Current Reads
Hi Everyone! Quick announcement before I get to my FF post! Booklover's Hideaway is doing a Cover Reveal post for me today. Click on the link and hop on over if you have a minute! Thanks! Now on to the blog hop:
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!
I'm reading Book 5 of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice series. I freakin' LOVE this series, so of course I'm enjoying the book! It's just taking me a long time to get through it because 1) I'm very busy and 2) it's a big thick book that I don't like to cart around anywhere, so I only get to read it at home, and I don't get much reading time there. But oh well. There are rumors that Book 6 will be out sometimes next year so I don't mind dragging things out a bit. :D
I also just started Anna Dressed in Blood. SO excited to get going on this one, though as of right now, I've only read one chapter. :D

Q: What are you reading right now? How do you like it?

Random Movie Quotes (RMQ)
Don't know what this is? Click here.
So Tuesday's RMQ was:
 |
| source: fanpop.com |
"Whether by your will or not, there is no ship now that can bear me hence."
This was said by Arwen in The Return of the King, played by Liv Tyler. I actually had two people guess this pretty concurrently--one on facebook and one on the blog page so I'm giving points to both. Jeff Garrett and Alex Cavanaugh both get points for this one! Great job, guys!
I always loved the way they talked in LOTR. After watching it, I found myself wanting to speak like them. I once said this very line to my dad and he gave me a "what are you smoking" sort of look, so I never said it again. It was fun the one time, though. :D
For this week's RMQ:
"Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must shout as you did in Rome, 'Do your worst. For I shall do mine.' And then the fates shall know you as we know you, as [character name] the Man."
Okay, actually five points possible here. Five because while this is from a great film, that film is an adaptation of a great book. So, one point for character, one point for actor, one point for film, one point for book title, one point for author. Hint: Film title and book title are the same, so if you get one, you got both! :D Any guesses?

ReplyDeleteI adore that cover! ( and G R R Martin )
My FF
Me too! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI absolutely loved both of those books! I really, really hope that the wait for Book 6 of ASOIAF will be a lot shorter than the one for A Dance with Dragons.
ReplyDeleteOld follower. Our FF
Me too! Thanks for visiting. :D
DeleteCool. :) I have Anna Dressed In Blood sitting here and waiting to be read. I've heard great things about it. :) Scary + interesting male POV = win. :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I've only read the first chapter but already loving it! :D
DeleteThose books are freak'n HUGE!

They are huge--but totally worth it! :D
DeleteI have been dying to read Fire and Ice series but I'm like 500th in the request line at my library for the first book... :/
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many good things about Anna Dressed in Blood! But I still haven't picked it up, purely because I've heard it's really scary haha.
My FF
Yeah it's pretty good. You can get a paperback of the book 1 for pretty cheap if you don't want to wait. I hope Anna is scary! I'm so excited for some good Halloween reads! :D
DeleteThanks for checking me out returning the follow glad to see it worked out with linkyfolower.
ReplyDeleteNo problem! Thanks for following me back! Happy Friday! :D

Oh I'm so glad! Can't wait to read more. Followed you back. Thanks for visiting! Happy Friday!
DeleteI enjoyed Anna Dressed In Blood and I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series. I haven't read any of the A Song of Fire and Ice series. I want to but just keep starting other books first!
ReplyDeleteOld Follower.
My Feature & Follow =)
Glad you enjoyed Anna! Martin's series is definitely worth the read! Thanks for stopping by. Happy Friday! :D
DeleteFollowed! I've heard about that book before! Sounds really awesome!
ReplyDeletehttp://simple-books.blogspot.com
Thanks so much! Followed you back! Happy Friday! :D
DeleteI'm waiting for my copy of Anna dressed in blood to arrive. It's been ages and I can't shake off the feeling of excitement. Maybe by next week I can get a hand on it :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy reading Anna dressed in Blood!
Old Follower :)
Che out MY FF
I hope you can too! Thanks for stopping by! Happy Friday! :D
DeleteAwesome that you're reading George Martin's series. It's too long for me with all the books I need to read for my blog. I just finished The Torn Wing by Kiki Hamilton, a great book 2 in her series.
ReplyDeleteYeah it is pretty long, but I kinda can't stop reading it! Thanks for stopping by Natalie! Have a fantastic weekend! :D
DeleteI love your blog, truly-- skimming the page alone, I immediately see a ton of posts I want to check out! Definitely new follower!
ReplyDeleteI read a Dance with Dragons a few months ago and really loved it-- I would devour pretty much anything GRRM wrote about Dany, Jon, Tyrion, or any of the others at this point. Glad you're enjoying it so much. Unfortunately, I don't think Winds of Winter (book 6) is slated to come out next year, but in 2015 (saw it on goodreads). This author is determined to kill us with all this waiting five years in between books! Haven't read Anna Dressed in Blood, but I find the cover really striking.
Have a great weekend.
Kat @ A Myriad of Books
Thanks for the compliment, Kat! I always love finding fellow GRRM obsessees! :D If you saw the date I'm goodreads, I'm sure you're right (grrrh!). 2013 was just a rumor I saw, and even that was six months ago. Haven't checked up on it since. Thanks for the info and for stopping by! Have a great weekend! :D
DeleteOoh, how exciting about the cover reveal :) I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteI'm about to start A Feast For Crows, but like you it's taking me a long time because of the length and just other commitments in general. Between preparing for back to uni and review copy reads, my 'just for fun' books keep getting pushed down the list of priorities :(
New Linky follower :)
My F&F
Yup, I hear ya! School always makes it harder too. I'm not even in school anymore, but between work and other commitments, yeah I hear ya! You've got time, though, before the next one comes out, so no need to hurry! :D Thanks for stopping by! Happy Friday! :D
DeleteI've heard a lot about Anna dressed in Blood but I don't think I would like it. I'm happy you're enjoying your books! New follower :)
ReplyDeleteMy FF: World of Books
Thanks for stopping by! I'll do the same! :D
DeleteAnna is supposed to be really good, so that one is high on my to be read pile. And I also can't wait to read the Fire and Ice series. So many books, so little time huh..
ReplyDeleteVisit my FF.
No kidding! I feel that way all the time as my TBR pile grows but my reading time doesn't! :D Thanks for visiting! :D

ReplyDeleteVery good! Two points for you (book and film title). :D I'm going to try and get something up this weekend that keeps track of points so you can see what you're at. Keep an eye out for it! Thanks Alex!
DeleteI need to read the Song of Fire and Ice series! I love the TV show! I have Anna Dressed in Blood, but haven't gotten to read it yet. Hope you enjoy it! Old follower.
ReplyDeleteThey sound like exciting reads, enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThanks
New follower here!
ReplyDeleteI just started book 5 too of Martin's series... I had read all of them years ago... and then waited and waited and waited for this last book... so I've held off reading it, for fear that I've got another 8 year wait coming -_-
I do love them though!!
