Feature & Follow Friday is a blog hop that is designed to provide some much-appreciated exposure to the bloggers participating, and to expand their following. Hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read, each of whom feature a chosen blog for the week, it's an interesting way to get to know one another.
Question of the Week: What would your prefer: reading your favorite book over and over again until you got sick of it OR reading 100s of mediocre books? And why?
Hands down, I would re-read my favourite book over and over and over again. Life's too short to waste on mediocre books.
Parajunkee also hosts a Social Hop for Facebook and Twitter, which I've taken part in the past two weeks. So, if you're one of those people who aren't on Blogger, or who just don't like Google Friend Connect, it's a great way to keep in touch and follow one another.
TGIF is another blog hop designed to provide much-appreciated exposure to the bloggers participating, and to expand their following. Hosted by GReads, it's an interesting way to recap the week, pose a question, and find some exposure with a different audience.

Question of the Week: Love Stories: What are some of your favorite fictional love stories?
Hmm, that's a tough one - I don't normally look for the love story aspect, but I can think of a few notable fantasy romances that engaged my interest: Richard and Kahlan in The Sword of Truth (one of those epic, against-all-odds, true-love kind of themes); Phèdre, Joscelin, and Melisande in the Kushiel series (a rather bizarre love/hate triangle that works); and either Perrin & Faile or Mat & Tuon from The Wheel of Time saga (although the comic affair between Rand, Avienda, Elayne, and Min does have its moments).

I agree I would rather read my favorite book over and over again. I'm a new follower.

Same here! Life is definitely too short for average books.

Exactly! Why waste time reading a book you already know you won't enjoy to the fullest? I had to say the same and go with a re-read of my fave. But choosing that fave is next to impossible, especially if it really has to be just 1!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Friday Hops
Have a GREAT weekend!
Old Follower :)
Oh my gosh - how could I have forgotten about Richard & Kahlan - that was truly an epic love story.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my post, checking out yours! I actually agree with you. Life is too short, ain't it? Never thought of that. Then again, I fear I might begin to hate my favorite book, and I don't want that happening!
ReplyDeleteI too would rather read my favorite book. And I find something new that I didn't notice before each time I reread a favorite.
ReplyDeleteRichard and Kahlan had a cute love story (from the tv series though :))
Just blogging by, happy Friday!
