Follow Friday, Book Blogger Hop, & TGIF: June 3

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 featured blogger is Ninja Girl from Ninja Girl Reads. Be sure to stop by, follow, and say, "Hello!"

This week's question:

What are you doing to prepare for an upcoming zombie apocalypse and/or the return of Mel Gibson to the silver screen? (Both of which could be terrifying.)

Terrifying, indeed. The way I figure, our apartment is in such pitiful condition so far as the windows go that we would pretty much be screwed unless we commandeer one of the vacant units upstairs and disable the outside staircase. We have a toolbox and both know how to use it. ;) As for the possibility of a Mel Gibson resurgence, I'm afraid we would have to stop watching television to avoid the commercials. I have no interest in seeing what he's going to blame on the British this time. :P



The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly event hosted by Crazy-For-Books. It is a way for book bloggers to connect and discover new blogs they might enjoy.

Every week there is a new question. This week, the question is:

Share your favorite post from the last month and tell us why it's close to your heart!

Admittedly, I don't often write non-meme or non-book review posts. I think the post closest to my heart from last month is my Past, Present, or Future? post. I wrote the post in answer to a prompt from New Books for New Bloggers, but it is very like the conversations I have with my real-life friend, Nikki, about the different books we read. Those conversations are a lot of fun, so the post was a lot of fun to write.



TGIF is a meme from Ginger at GReads! Every Friday there is a new question to answer and new bloggers to meet.

This week, the question is:

Book Love: Do you share your books with others? Who was the last person you sent a book to?

I'll admit it: I'm a bit like Gollum when it comes to my books. I've been burned too often in the past by people deciding to simply keep books I loan them. I don't like feeling like a debt collector, so I, sadly, stopped loaning books for the most part. I have one friend who I loan books to, however, and who loans books to me, as well. I have passed along a lot of my favorites to her, thus helping her discover new favorites of her own, and vice versa. I have also given her a book that she liked more than I did, so our little system works out very nicely, I think.
