Feature and Follow #3



 Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & Follow! If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers -- but you have to know -- the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it'll allow us to show off more new blogs!

How does this work? First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools -- keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them "hi" in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you!

What sets this Hop apart from others, is our Feature. Each week we will showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Who is our Feature today? Find out below. Just remember it is required, if you participate, to follow our Features and you must follow the hosts (Parajunkee & Alison Can Read) as a courtesy. How do you follow someone? Well, if you have a preference, state it in your #FF post. A lot of blogs are transitioning to Wordpress in which they do not have the luxury of GFC, so an RSS subscription is appreciated or if you choose an email subscription. If you don't have GFC please state in your post how you would like to be followed.

Here’s this week’s question:

 If you could only have ONE – one book – for the rest of your life. Don’t cheat…what would it be?
__________________________________________________

My Answer;

Humm this is a really hard question. Only one??? Let's think....I would have to say "The Fault In Our Stars"

I've read many books since I was little but not one has ever let me as speechless and heartbroken as this one. The writing is done so beautiful, it flows really nice. And the characters! I just love them all! Let me show you some quotes that just made me fall in love with this book...


“That's the thing about pain," Augustus said, and then glanced back at me. "It demands to be felt” 
― John GreenThe Fault in Our Stars

“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.” 
― John GreenThe Fault in Our Stars

“You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.” 
― John GreenThe Fault in Our Stars

“What a slut time is. She screws everybody.” 
― John GreenThe Fault in Our Stars

“You have a choice in this world, I believe, about how to tell sad stories, and we made the funny choice.” 
― John GreenThe Fault in Our Stars

“I wanted to know that he would be okay if I died. I wanted to not be a grenade, to not be a malevolent force in the lives of people I loved.” 
― John GreenThe Fault in Our Stars

This book makes you be grateful that you are alive and well and that you get another day of feeling and experiencing the world around you. That's why I love it so much!
