Feature and Follow Friday

The Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read where we answer a book related question and follow links to visit other blogs and read their answers too. It's been a while since I participated but I really liked the questions this week.

This week's question from Reading and Writing Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Fiction:

Q: Jumping Genres: Ever pick up a book from a genre you usually don’t like and LOVE it? 

Tell us about it and why you picked it up in the first place.

I enjoy poetry and have a few anthologies of my favourites, but I've never been particularly fond of novels in verse. I tend to lose interest after the first few chapters. 

I picked up Love and Leftovers based on the cover:

And I loved it. The story had the right combination of  heart break and dreamy boys. But ultimately it was the language and the authors way with words that hooked me.

Have you read it?

Feature and Follow Friday-May 4th

It has been forever since I participated in the Feature & Follow. 

It's hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read.

This week's question was asked by featured blogger The House Work Can Wait.

What is one thing you wish you could tell your favourite author?

I was lucky and was able to meet my favourite author (Lauren Oliver) 

I was completely gushing and not sure if I made a whole lot of sense when I was talking, but telling her how much her writing has impacted me was the goal.

Has that every happened to you? Where you meet someone you admire and are completely tongue tied?

Happy Friday!

May the 4th be with you:)
