Follow Friday is hosted at Parajunkee's View.
This week's question:
Do you have an under-noticed author that you think we should all know about?
I don't know if she really counts as under-noticed, but Kristen Cashore is an incredible author that I think everyone should know about. Her Graceling series is so beautifully written and the stories are so unique and almost heart wrenching. Her characters are brilliant and real and I love that both of the main characters are strong women. I couldn't put either of them down and I think everyone should give them a try. Her blog is also pretty awesome, especially when she posts pictures of her trapeze lessons.
Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books.
This week's question:
"What is the thing you like most about reading book blogs? Is it the reviews, author guest posts, articles, giveaways, or something else entirely?"
My answer: All of the above. I love being introduced to new books and new authors, I love hearing what other people have to say about books that I both have and haven't read, I think the author interviews and guest posts are insightful and sometimes hysterical and I am a contest junkie. I like everything about it. Its nice to know that there are other people who love books as much as I do and want to talk about them.
Happy Friday Everyone!!
Trapeze pictures!?!? That is rather awesome. . . I don't think I had heard of her, so thanks so much!

I can heartily recommend our own Tribute Books author, Molly Roe. She is the author of the young adult historical fiction, Call Me Kate: Meeting the Molly Maguires. It is the first of a trilogy of books about three sisters growing up in a coal mining town during the Civil War era. It also won the Mom's Choice Award.
ReplyDeleteI also love the books of Tommie Lyn - a fantastic self-published author.
I love Kristen Cashore's books, couldn't put them down once I started. New follower.
