Follow Friday: April 15, 2011



Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and is a way for book bloggers to get to know each other better. To join in and make some friends, simply follow the directions listed by Parajunkee on her blog.

This week's question is:
Do you have anyone that you can discuss books with IRL? Tell us about him/her.

There aren't a large number of people I can talk to about books in real life, which is ironic when you take the fact that I am a literature major into account. However, I have the fortune of going to the same university as my oldest friend, Nikki. We have known each other for almost 22 years (ever since we bonded over safety scissors in 1st grade) and have seen a lot over the years. We have pretty similar taste in books, so we can talk to each other about whatever we are reading at the time. One of our traditions is heading to our local cafe & cupcake bakery for mochas, cupcakes, and conversation. We almost always wind up talking about books at some point during these get-togethers. It's always a lot of fun and is always a bright spot in a hectic week.

  13. Hi Marla, just stumbled upon your blog from this week's FF and now I am a new follower :)

    I am lucky to be a librarian because there aren't many people I know that like reading as much as I do! That's why a lot of us started book-blogging I think-- yea, there really are other book worms out there like me! :)

    Feel free to check out my site and my FF at LC's Adventures in Libraryland

    Have a great weekend!
