Follow Friday is hosted over at Parajunkee's View, and this weeks question was:
What do I do when I am not reading?
When I'm not reading, of course I blog and review books! I also play a few sports, swimming and softball, and I spend time with family and friends. And, from fall to spring, I still have to go to school, but I always find time to read books! During the summer, I love to hang out outside by my pool reading or I love to go bike-riding! But, I constantly have to be told to take a break from reading, because I definitely do spend a LITTLE too much time with it!
The Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jen over at Crazy-for-Books! Here is this week's question:
How/Where do you get your books? Do you buy them or go to the library? Is there a certain website you use like paperbackswap?
I usually either buy my books or borrow books from the library. I like to only buy books that I know will be good, if I've seen countless reviews that say this book is amazing, I will go out and buy it. Then, I get books from the library that I really want to read, but they have a few mixed reviews or aren't that popular, so I save some money and get them from the library. But, it always seems like I get books from the library that after I finish reading, I love, so then I want to go out and buy them! I don't use many websites to get books, but I'm planning on starting that soon.
Tgif is hosted by Ginger at GReads! This week's question was:
Book Blogger Appreciation: Which book blogs have inspired you
or made a difference in your blogging experience?
Wow, there are so many blogs that I love! I wouldn't be able to name them, but a lot of them have inspired me in some way. Well, I've always looked up to Kristi from The Story Siren. She has a great blog, and some day I wish to become as well known in the blogging community as her. I also like the blog, Reading Teen, they always put up great reviews and posts. And, of course I love the blogs that host these hops, they put up great reviews and I always look at their blogs each day. There are a ton more that I love, but I can't put all of them up here. I love all my followers' blogs, each and every one of them are great.
Thanks to everyone for stopping by my blog, following, or commenting on the post. I really appreciate it!
This Week at Such A Teenage Bookworm
Logging you in...
Great answers!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous that you live somewhere that you can have an outside pool :) I don't think anyone here in Scotland would be brave enough! :D
I'm an old follower just stopping in past.
Have a great weekend.
Pool! Wish I have one in my backyard. A small one would do. Happy weekends!

Stopping by via Parajunkee's FF. New follower! Your blog's look reminds me of this old movie I love. "Pretty in Pink". _yay_ @ http://bookthatthing.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI'm following you from the Book Bloggers Hop and would love a follow back. I read a lot as a kid too - upwards of 30 books a week. Used to clean the library out each week! LOL

I love the blog Reading Teen too. I'm hosting a Summer Book Club on Family Literacy and You this summer. We're on Wk 5 of 8 Weeks and we've had some great books you might enjoy. For the most part they have been books for kids 14 and up with a couple for younger readers 8-12.

I'm a bit jealous over the pool thing. Much to cold here to have one. Great answers! I'm a new follower. My hops are up at Coffee Table Reviews.
ReplyDeleteI love to swim'& having your own pool is very nice ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday.

Brilliant answers! Can I just say: I'm very, very, very jealous of your pool! Though, seeing as it rains for most of the year, I don't think a UK pool would be so great really! :D

ReplyDeleteAmy @ www.bookgoonie
@bookgoonie Sorry I don't mean to make you feel lazy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! A pool sounds so good right about now. It is so hot and humid here. Ugh! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou have a pool!! aww I wish I had one! I Love swimming! and Yes! totally agree with Kristi
ReplyDeleteFollowing back ;)
Thanks for stopping by! I'm exactly the same way about getting books from the library vs buying them. I can only afford so many books (and I only have so much space that is already overrun by books) that I want to make sure that I end up with only ones that I love.
ReplyDeleteHopping through. I think The Story Siren was the blog that most inspired me to start blogging. That and Steph Su Reads.
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
Great picks chick!
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya on buying books I know I'll like and getting ones I'm less sure about from the library. Thanks for stopping by my post. New follower!
ReplyDelete@Marla I'm pretty lucky to have a pool in this hot weather!
ReplyDelete@Jude Henderson Thank you, swimming is so refreshing in this hot weather!
@Bookworm1858 It's always a good idea to save money!!
@Alison Can Read Steph Su Reads is also a great blog, she always posts great reviews!
@Bookish Brunette Thank you!
@Karen Thank you for stopping by and following!
I'm the SAME way with buying books. I generally only buy a book if I've actually read it and know I'll read it again. Of course, there have been a few exceptions. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my follow friday and book blog hop and following my blog! I'm following your blog now as well! :)
♥ Sarah
@Sarah I know, I've done that tons of times now! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI like to read books from the library before I buy them as well. I have a tiny book budget, so I can only afford the ones I love! Thanks for hopping by!
ReplyDelete@Christy Your welcome! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteHey there Kristen!
ReplyDeleteThanks for following.
I love reading by the pool, but most of the time I read bed with my snugly blanket :)
New follower :)

@Grace Thanks for stopping by! I love reading in bed also, it's so comfy! I'll go check out your blog!
ReplyDeleteHey, Kristen! :) I love the library too! That's usually where I get a lot of my novels (since I'm pretty broke at the moment), but if I really, really like a book, I go out and buy it!
ReplyDeleteSwimming is awesome -- I could do it all day! :)
Hope you have an awesome weekend!

@Mimi Thank you! Same here, I love the library because the books are free!
ReplyDeleteI played volleyball when I was in school. I still miss it. Sitting by the pool with or without a book is one of my faves.

@Alexis Thanks for following!
ReplyDeleteNew Follower! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm just like you, I'll only buy books I'm certain that I'll like or else I'll get them from the library if I'm not sure.
