Book Blogger Hop #1, Follow Friday #4, & In My Mailbox #3

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jennifer @ Crazy for Books.

This week's question:

"If you were given the chance to spend one day in a fictional world (from a book), which book would it be from and what would that place be?"

My answer: Anne Of Green Gables on Prince Edward Island ANYWHERE. I grew up loving the book, loving the scenes from the movie, it was all just amazingly beautiful. All the time in the world to do anything.





Alright! Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and is a way for book bloggers to get to know each other better. Just go to her page and follow the directions, and you'll be making some new friends!


Q. It's circle time. Time for us to open up and share. Can you tell us FIVE quirky habits or things about you? We all have them...

1. I love watching TV on DVD. I own literally over 50 different seasons. My favorites include Bones (side note: what a finale last night, right?!), How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Veronica Mars, The Simpsons, Scrubs, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. I've been known to have marathons where I watch whole seasons within a few days.

2. I collect My Little Ponies, Kitty In My Pockets, plushies, and various other toys. I feel it keeps me connected with my childhood, and keeps my inner child going.

3. Aside from cats, my favorite animal is a lemur and I want nothing more than to have one as a pet as soon as it's possible. They are absolutely adorable.

4. I have had an obsession with Billy Joel since I was 16. I have memorized practically every song, including "We Didn't Start The Fire". Recently I've been popping random albums into my car's CD player to listen to on my way to work. (Most recent: Glass Houses, specifically because "Sleeping With The Television On" was stuck in my head)

5. I love slapstick and silly comedy. Anything from Saturday Night Live, Mel Brooks, The Red Green Show, Homestarrunner.com, YouTube Poops of Mario and Zelda games... I could watch them and laugh all day long.

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.

I received a package from Barnes & Noble and one from Amazon. Got some bargain books AND some newer books that I've been wanting for awhile. I also got a couple books for future giveaways, but I won't be sharing those in this feature today, since they're not for me. I will reveal those soon enough, just you wait!

So... what did I get?

Sealed With A Diss by Lisi Harrison
Dial L For Loser by Lisi Harrison
Before I Die by Jenny Downham
Matched by Ally Condie
Divergent by Veronica Roth
Bumped by Megan McCafferty

As you can see, I got anxious to get into the other dytopian worlds. Can you blame me? I'm almost done with my library books, so I should be able to get these going very soon!
