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"
“That's the thing about pain," Augustus said, and then glanced back at me. "It demands to be felt”
― John Green, The 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 Green, The 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 Green, The Fault in Our Stars
“What a slut time is. She screws everybody.”
― John Green, The 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 Green, The 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 Green, The 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!
Hey, thanks for reading my post, i absolutely love the cover of this book :) I'm afraid i don't know much about the book itself, i'm guessing it's one you'd recommend?
ReplyDeleteOh I totally recommend it!! You must read it haha!
DeleteIt's so sad and funny and bittersweet! It will totally
leave you speechless and it will definitely bring out
some feeling from you!:)
I want to read this book but it's a little sad and I always postpone it.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds really good though. :)

DeleteThanks you very much. Divided is my best project so far.:)

Nice pick! Seeing a lot of this one!
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't like to think I "cheated" on my post. I just "considered my options" based on what everyone's opinion of what 1 book is! ;)
Thanks for visiting and following my blog! Returning the follow!

Hey there! Stopping by from Feature and Follow. I too adore John Green's A Fault in Our Stars. I listened to the audio version just this past spring while commuting to and from work and it was breathtaking. Great pick!
