Feature & Follow Friday [13]

Welcome to another week of Feature and Follow Friday! I have decided to post F&FF every other Friday, just to mix it up a bit, as I planned out the schedule for my blog. It is a wonderful way to meet other awesome bloggers, after all! Want more information about how the whole thing works? Check out the information HERE at Parajunkee.

This Week's Question: 
Have you ever had a reoccurring dream? What was it?

I feel like I have a lot of reoccurring dreams or nightmares. I will have the same one for a few weeks, and then it will stop, but soon enough another one will take its place. Honestly, I can't really remember most of them because once they pass I don't think about them anymore. I do know that a lot of them involve me falling from some place very, very high and those are never ones that I enjoy very much at all since I am terrified of heights.

This Week's Question: 
Have you come up with any special memes or features on your blog that you'd like people to visit more? 

Definitely! Last year I did Cover Concepts, but that changed into This Week's Releases for this year. It's a weekly post where I share and discuss the releases I am looking forward to that week, and why I'm interested in them.

I also do a monthly Author Spotlight where I talk about an author that I read within that month - sometimes their books even released in that month!
In January I hosted Sara Raasch - author of SNOW LIKE ASHES
In February I hosted E.V. Fairfall - author of Sleeping Tom and Transformed
This month keep an eye out for Janell Rhiannon - author of Uncross the Stars.

This Week's Question: 
Do you post your reviews anywhere besides your blog? Where else do you post reviews?

I really need to get better about keeping up with this sort of thing. I really like to cross-post all of my reviews from my blog onto Goodreads and Amazon as well, but I can be really bad about doing so. Usually I make myself sit down on the weekend and take care of several of them at a time in order to get caught back up with them again.

This Week's Question: 
Do you have any fun collections (other than books)?

I guess I do collect a couple of different things, though I never give as much thought to them as I do to my book collection.

1. Shot Glasses - my husband and I have been collecting shot glasses for a few years now. Every time we travel somewhere, or our family travels somewhere, we make sure to purchase a shot glass. We bought a nice, wood shot glass display last year that is on the dining room wall and holds them all nicely. It's a nice addition to the room.

2. Stuffed Giraffes - giraffes are my favorite animal, and they have been for quite some time. There was a point where anytime my husband or parents saw a new giraffe I didn't have, they picked it up for me. I probably have nearly 50 stuffed giraffes now, and eventually we will utilize them in a nursery once we start having children.

3. Nail Polish - over the past few months I have really gotten into nail polish again. At first, I decided to get into it again as a way to break my habit of biting my nails. Not only did that work, but I got addicted as well. Now I paint my nails once a week and love collecting different brands and colors or polishes.

What things do you collect? 

Feature & Follow Friday [9]

It's the first Feature and Follow Friday of 2015, which is pretty exciting! It's still a bit hard to believe that we are already into a new year, but it is very exciting, too!

This Week's Question: 
What was your favorite book of 2014 - or books if you can't name just one? 

I think that it would be pretty impossible to name just one since I read so many amazing books last year. I ended up reading 129 total, so it would be pretty difficult to narrow it down to one. I did share my top eleven in this post, but I will share my top three here again as well! :]

3. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak 
2. Positive by Paige Rawl with Ali Benjamin 
1. Dear Killer by Katherine Ewell 

What was your favorite book(s) of 2014?

This Week's Question:
Do you have a go to genre when you’re happy, sad, or angry? – via Take Me Away…

I am definitely a mood reader, which makes things incredibly difficult when I am in a reading slump (like I am currently) because it usually means I'm just not in the mood to read anything at all. However, whenever I am feeling extreme emotions, whether they are positive or negative, I usually turn to contemporary books. There are always going to be several books that relate to what I'm dealing with, and that can be incredibly reassuring. Sometimes when I'm sad, a good insta-love contemporary can make me feel a little bit better about everything!

This Week's Question:
Social Share! What is your favorite social network and leave us a link so we can join you!

Social networking is so big these days, especially when it comes to blogging. While I do love using social media to help promote my blog and books I read, my favorite social media is just used for personal reasons, because I really enjoy it. My favorite social network would definitely be Instagram. I love sharing my pictures and looking at pictures from other people, especially other teachers, readers, bloggers.

This Week's Question: 
What is your favorite TV series that you can watch over and over again on Netflix? 

I have a confession to make! I don't actually have Netflix. In fact, it's been years since my family had it, and I guess none of it used it enough as I was away at school at the time (and spent a lot of time reading and studying, because that's how I roll). However, I do have shows that I DVR and watch over and over again, so I will share those instead!

This Week's Question: 
If you had a time machine (i.e. a TARDIS), where would you go?

This is a pretty tough question, actually. There are plenty of times in the past that I would not want to go back to because of things that happened, but I am not sure that I want to go too far into the future, either (perhaps I've read too many dystopian books!). I think that I might choose the 1920s. It seems like it could be a cool time period to check out!

This Week's Question: 
Have you ever convinced someone to read a book, a series, or a whole genre? What book(s) and who was it? Did they like it? 

My mom is the person that I usually try to convince to read the books I love. Well, it was always that way before, though now I have a couple of friends I do this to as well, along with my oldest brother. The one specific example I remember is when I read the Twilight series and then convinced  my mom to read it as well. She did enjoy it, from what I can remember.

This Week's Question: 
Have any pets? Tell us or show us. 

Meet Sirius! (Yup, like Sirius Black in Harry Potter!). I found him at the pound last June, right before my husband and I were moving into our first house. We knew we would want a dog, and my husband has a schnauzer growing up, so he seemed perfect. I fell in love right away, he had the sweetest personality, and I paid for him that day before my husband even saw him for the first time! He has been such a sweet baby, and I'm not sure what we would do without him!

This Week's Question:  
Spring Break. Where would be your favorite destination spot if you could join the Spring Break festivities?

I have already had my spring break for the year, and I did not do anything too exciting, and I was perfectly fine with that! Just being home and being able to sleep, read, watch television/movies, or shop was a wonderful way to spend the time. Of course, if I could choose to spend a spring break anywhere, I would LOVE to go to the UK and spend some time there!
