Feature & Follow

Things have been quiet for me for the past few days. I've been doing less reading, after binge reading for the Read-a-Thon and I've gotten into playing SimCity5 on my computer. I played the original years ago and I always loved it, so I thought I'd try it again and of course, I'm hooked. :) Once I get it out of my system, I'll be posting a few reviews of some of the books I read for the Bout of Books RaT.

In the mean time, I thought I'd join up with doing ~ The Feature and Follow, hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read which offers a weekly question as well as the chance to find new blogs to follow and, hopefully, have new people follow you.


Have you ever convinced someone to read a book, 
a series, or a whole genre?
 What book(s) and who was it? Did they like it?

One of my favorite things to do is recommend books!  I'm usually pretty good with knowing what my closest friends will and won't like.  For others, I can find something, depending on their preferences.

I recommend the most ~ The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern ~ to anyone and everyone.  Everyone who has read it has at least really liked, if not loved, it.  I recommended it to my friend Kim first, because she's my book person, we recommend everything to each other.  Then I even had my husband read it and HE enjoyed it.  It's such an amazing book and no one I have recommended it to has had anything negative to say about it.  It's a wonderful book!  Good Read it now, if you haven't!


Is there One book that you recommend to every reader that you come across? Have they loved it? How do you feel when you recommend something and the person you recommended it to didn't like it?

Leave me your link, and I'll come check out your blog & follow you!

  1. Our book club encourages reading just about EVERYTHING! We vote on monthly group reads to discuss. Sometimes we hate 'em; sometimes we love 'em. The most important thing is to have fun, right?

    Your recommendation was one of my favorites read this year!

  5. I added this book to my list after you recommended it a few weeks ago. I had thought about trying it when it came out but just never did. I think I'm going to give it a go!

    1. I hope you'll give it a try. It's the most beautiful book I've ever read. It was the book I felt like I most fell into. I could hear it, smell it, see it. It's so beautiful. I read it soon after it came out and 6 months or so ago I listened to it. Just as wonderful the second time through! I don't usually re-read things, I'd rather read something new, but I'll listen to this again, it's wonderful.

  6. The Night Circus is one of my favorites. I loved it. And I'm with you...I've been taking it a little easy on the blog this week after doing A to Z, Dewey's and then BoB. It's nice to have a smidge of a bloggy break. Enjoy your game! I think I'm going to bust out some Rock Band this weekend. :)

    1. Awesome that you read it. I come across soooooo many people who haven't, and of course, I sing it's praises! :) I LOVE that book so much. My blog is inspired by it, with it's black & white with a splash of red. If I can ever get another tattoo, well 2, the 2nd one would be Night Circus inspired. :) Yeah, after Dewey and BoB, my head was saying no more to reading. Luckily, my ears didn't mind at night too much. Enjoy your Rock Band. :) We were reading about the new Batman Arkham Knight game, and want it sooooo bad. I think Arkham City, rather than Sim, is calling out for me to play again tomorrow. :)
