Follow Friday & Book Blogger Hop & TGIF

Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee.  This weeks featured blog is Angela's Anxious Life and the weekly question is:

Q. What do I do when I am not reading?

I write mostly. Or cook. Or hangout out with the hubs and the kid, eat nachos and watch bad reality TV. My hate hate relationship with reality TV has become a love hate relationship.

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Crazy for Books. This weeks question is:

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 wish I could go to the library but I don't like to give stuff back. I usually buy them either on Amazon.com or go to my favorite used bookstore McKay's. Have I told you about the wonderful awesomeness that is McKay's? McKay's is the best place in the whole wide world. It's a literary orgasm, I swear. They have music, movies and games there too but the books....Homer Simpson drooooooool.... Love it! You can spend all day Saturday in there, fill up a push basket with books and still only spend around $20. I'm an aspiring author but I would have no problem if my book ended up in the bargain section of that store. I love it that much. Plus, because of the prices I've been introduced to so many new authors and genres. It was there that I found out about paranormal romance, I didn't know there was a such thing and they had a whole section. Ahem, now that I've finished my non-paid advertisement for McKay's, to answer the question, I buy my books. :)

Book Blogger Appreciation: Which book blogs have inspired you 

or made a difference in your blogging experience?

 

Hmmm, good question. Well,

 

All About {n} was the first book blog I came across and I was like wow, this is awesome. I can do this too! Plus I love looking at other peoples bookshelves and she has a whole day set aside to nose through someones books!

Then I found PJ'sView, which I fell in love with instantly not just because its goth and purple but because of all the books and all the tips. You can't go wrong there.

It think I came across Bewitched Bookworm next and found out about collaborating and having more than one reviewer on a blog which I thought was a great idea.

A Cozy Reader inspires me to have cute blog because her blog is just so cute. It is actually cozy.

A Cupcake and a Latte inspires me to eat a cupcake and drink a latte while I read my book. I mean, why didn't I think of that? Seriously, though I really love her blog design too!

There are tons more blogs that I love. In fact, I haven't really come across one I don't like! Book bloggers are great!
