Feature & Follow Friday #63

Welcome to Feature & Follow Friday (err Thursday) on Parajunkee.com

If you are new to the #FF fun, Feature & Follow Friday is a blog hop that expands your blog following by a joint effort between bloggers. Feature & Follow Friday is now hosted by TWO hosts, Rachel of Parajunkee and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it'll allow us to show off more new blogs!

*Thanks so much to Rachel for allowing me to be part of the Follow Friday fun. Parajunkee is one of the best blogs out there and FF is a highlight of the blogging community. The FF has been one of my favorite parts of my week for over a year and I'm so excited to help my fellow book bloggers get to know each other better.

How does this work? First you leave your name here on this post, then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them "hi" in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you! Now to make this #FF interesting we do a FEATURE blogger.

If you are interested in becoming a Feature click on the link here for Follow Friday Feature or go to Parajunkee and click the drop down link above FEATURES > Feature & Follow Friday and get on the waiting list!

It is also required, that if you participate you must follow the hosts (Parajunkee & Alison Can Read) and the two Feature blogs.

Our Feature - Alaskan Book Cafe

I am living in Alaska with my grandson who is 4 and on the autism spectrum. We both love reading and taking hikes. I also enjoy cooking, ( I collect cook books), crafts, collecting faeries and meeting new people. My favorite books change all the time. There are so many I would be listing forever. I am still trying to get caught up on GR and Shelfari. I will read just about anything, even t-shirts, (especially on hot guys).

I'm kind of snarky but in a fun way. I'm on FB where somehow I got married and then a 10 year old kid showed up. I guess that 's ok since he can work. I'm trying to learn Twitter so I guess that makes me a twit. My sister set my hair on fire during a double date but I still allow her to be my best friend. Loyal like Lassie.

Q. It's that pesky magic book fairy again! She has another wish: What imaginary book world would you like to make a reality?

The problem with most imaginary book worlds is that they're usually scary. There's a lot of them that I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of. But there are still some that are so magical, I just can't help wanting them to be real, despite the scare factor.

Take Harry Potter. An obvious answer, but it's hard not to want to visit Diagon Alley or go to Hogwarts. I'd also love the world of the Revenants in Amy Plum's Die For Me to be real, since they are paranormal creatures who do good. Finally, although it's not a fantasy book, I'd love for the Babysitter's Club to be real. I wish I could have been part of the Club (or even just babysat by the members). I would have been best friends with Mary Anne. Stacy would be cooler, but Mary Anne and I are more alike.

Now for the Follow Fun!
