How do you comment?

Questions of the Week:

Blog Hop: What are you reading right now and why are you reading it?

I am reading Fruits Basket vol. 17 by Natsuki Takaya. I'm reading it because I'm desperate to finish the series. I just finished Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta (wonderful!). I read it because I loved Jellicoe Road. I'm about to start Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly. I want to read it, because so many bloggers have said wonderful things about it.

Follow Friday: What is the book you are currently pushing?

I will always encourage people to read the Twilight series (with an open mind). Better to read it and dislike it than to just dismiss it because it's "uncool."

I also would love for everyone to read Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta. It's complex and beautiful and can be read again and again. Also, Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins, because it's just wonderful.

Other books I encourage people to read are those that I think haven't gotten enough blog coverage - where they hype has died down or where the books slipped under the radar entirely. Books like the Sucks To Be Me series by Kimberly Pauley, Don Calame's books Swim The Fly and Beat The Band, and Inconvenient by Margie Gelbwasser

    I've been wanting to start reading that manga series, Fruit Basket. How are you liking it? I'm reading White Cat right now, so I'll come back to read your review and I'm finished :)

    Have a great weekend!

    Hopping by :)

    I've heard such wonderful things about Melina Marchetta but I haven't read her yet. Her fantasy book interests me the most, though I've heard some really intriguing things about the main guy in Saving Francesca.

    I also really enjoyed Jellicoe Road, but it's the only book by Melina Marchetta that I've read. I've added Saving Francesca to my list though!

    Have a great weekend!

    Good answer! The answer on my book blog is a little embarassing; it’s a book that’s been sitting on my TBR pile for a year.

    To my shame, I only opened the book because I remember it contained an Amazon gift card.

    Hi, Alison!

    First, thanks for stopping by the blog! Second, your vote was SUPER helpful. I'll be choosing today. And you love Fruits Basket! I've only watched the series in Japanese, of course. Loved it, but was ticked off because they didn't continue it. Tell me, are the mangas pretty good? If so, I'll probably check them out. And Revolution started off pretty well when I started reading it, I'm just trying to finish my library reading pile before I go back and finish it.

    Anyway, lovely selections! Have a great weekend, be safe, and happy reading!

    Oh, Fruits Basket. I've been trying to collect the rest of them for a while now. I'm on a kick where I finish reading manga series that I've fallen behind on. I've only acquired up to 16 of Fruits Basket right now, so I've still got a few to go before I can do my start to finish read through. Meanwhile, I've got Angel Sanctuary. I just have to find a copy of volume 16....

    Glad to see you're pushing Twilight. Its annoying when people bash it without even having read it!

    Thanks for hopping by :)

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! In answer to your question, yes, Another Pan is the sequel to Another Faust. In fact, the only reason I picked up Another Faust was so I could read Another Pan =)

    Have a nice weekend =)

    Thank you for visiting and for following, Alison, and I hope you're enjoying Fruits Basket. :) It's one of my favorite manga series, and at least you don't have far to go since there are 23 volumes. Following right back!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! I loved Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly as you can see from my blog. I keep hearing great things about Anna and the French Kiss, but every time I pick it up at the store I work at and read the back, it just doesn't grab me.

    Thanks for stopping by! I personally like Anne Rice more than Twilight, simply because she writes for an older audience. Her vampires are my favorites, so I highly recommend jumping into the Vampire Chronicles if you want a vampire series. I want to read Anna and the French Kiss since I've heard so much good about it; guess it needs to go on the list :)
