Feature Thursday (4)

Feature Thursday is a feature (created by me!) where I have a guest post or blogger interview with a blogger so bloggers can make new friends and find new blogs! Feature Thursday will be every other Thursday!

 This week's feature is Gianna from Books to Infinity and Beyond !!

Can you tell us a little yourself to your fellow bloggers?

Ahhhh, what is there to say? I'll give you this: I'm a teenager who enjoys wasting countless hours on social networking sites (specifically, Twitter and Tumblr), reading amazing YA books, and watching anime. :)

What is your favorite part of the blogging process?

Oh, most definitely the part where I get to meet and socialize with all my fellow bloggers! ♥ Twitter is the best site EVAR. That's right, "evar". I met so many awesome people there and made some amazing friends!


What book are you reading right now?

Wither by Lauren DeStefano and Glitch by Heather Anastasiu --- both of which are pretty good so far.

What is your favorite ya book of 2012?

What a horrible question! I have way too many already. Fantasy wise, Finnikin of the Rock hands down! Contemporary wise, Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry was just amazing! (I'll cheat a bit more: Kill Me Softly was super good too.)


What was your favorite book growing up and why?

Ah, that would have to be The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. It's one of the best MG books I've read when I was smaller, and I always felt like I was being whisked to a new world whenever I would re-read it. Kate DiCamillo has some mad story telling skills! ♥


Are there any books you would recommend to fellow bloggers and readers out there?

TOTALLY! Just look at my answer to my favorite YA books of 2012 above. Really awesome reads that stick out in my head right now is Life as We Know It by Susan Beth Pfeffer and Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver. Both reads changed how I view life, and I treat life even more precious now. (God, I sound so cheesy.)

Favorite band?
AH. Too many! (J-Pop wise. Don't judge me. ;D)

Give us one fun fact about yourself:

There's nothing fun about me! D; Well... hm. I'm a lover of cats and Corgis worldwide. Anyone else who agrees, join me and let's love these adorable animals together! Anyone else who disagrees...well... this is awkward.

Last question..if you could go anywhere in the world where would you go?

Right now? It'd be Texas to visit friends and cousins. :)

Feature Thursday!! (3)

 Feature Thursday is a feature (created by me!) where I have a guest post or blogger interview with a blogger so bloggers can make new friends and find new blogs! Feature Thursday will be every other Thursday!

This week's feature is Rachel from Booktastic Reviews!!

 

Can you tell us a little about yourself to your fellow bloggers?

Hey, I'm Rachel and I'm fourteen years old. When I'm not reading I like going out with friends, dilly-dallying outside and eating chocolate!


What is your favorite part of the blogging process?

Oooh, this is a hard one! I love the whole blogging process really but if I had to choose I think I'd say either say meeting new book bloggers or when I get a book review request from an author or publisher... but I also just generally love posting book reviews! Ahh, I don't think I can pick a favourite! 


What book are you reading right now?

Right now I'm reading Fever by Lauren DeStefano. I really enjoyed the first book in the series, Wither, so I just had to pick this one up! I really can't wait to see what happens!

What is your favorite ya book of 2012?
Hmmm... probably Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter at the moment, but I'll most likely change my mind a few times throughout the year!

 


What was your favorite book growing up and why?Growing up I went through phases of the Nancy Drew books, the Alex Rider books, the Saddle Club books and pratically all of Jacqueline Wilson, Michael Morpurgo and Cathy Cassidy's books. When I got slightly older I remember loving The Lost Island of Tamarind by Nadia Aguiar because it was just full to the brim with action and adventure... so I think I need to go for this one!

 


Are there any books you would recommend to fellow bloggers and readers out there?

Loads! Divergent by Veronica Roth, Wither by Lauren DeStefano, The Lost Island of Tamarind by Nadia Aguiar, Virals by Kathy Reichs, Across The Universe by Beth Revis, Boys Don't Cry by Malorie Blackman, Dead Beautiful by Yvonne Woon... there are just so many!

Favorite band?

I don't really have a favourite band as such, but a favourite singer, and that is Taylor Swift!

 

Give us one fun fact about yourself:

I like to go seeking for adventure!

Last question..if you could go anywhere in the world where would you go?
The Amazon Rainforest! Ever since reading Journey to The River Sea by Eva Ibbotson I've always longed to go there... I just want to go everywhere really - travel the world! =]

Feature Thursday (2)

 Feature Thursday is a feature (created by me!) where I have a guest post or blogger interview with a blogger so bloggers can make new friends and find new blogs! Feature Thursday will be every other Thursday!

This week's feature is Rachel from Books to Consider!

Can you tell us a little yourself to your fellow bloggers? Well, this is my first interview! I'm Brazilian but I live in Switzerland, so you can say that I really love traveling! I'm not good in anything involving math, so I only get good grades in the language courses :). That could be because I almost read a book a day! Ever since reading the first Harry Potter a long time ago, I can't seem to stop reading books! Which resulted in me becoming a book blogger. I also love taking photographs and when I'm not reading books, I'm out taking pictures! 


What is your favorite part of the blogging process? I love to write reviews and share my opinion with others. Furthermore when I get a comment of someone who shares my opinion or even if not, it just makes my day! 


What book are you reading right now? I just started The Glimpse by Claire Merle! The beginning already has me hooked and I can't seem to put it down (don't tell my teachers that at school!)

What is your favorite ya book of 2012? That's a hard question. It seems that most of the books I've read so far have been so amazing! I don't know what these authors are doing but they surely got some great ideas for books this year haha! But if I had to choose I'd say Kill Me Softly by Sarah Cross because I just love fairy tale retellings! 


What was your favorite book growing up and why? Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, no doubt about it. This was the novel that got me hooked on books in the first place :) 


Are there any books you would recommend to fellow bloggers and readers out there? Maaany! Well, from the ones I've read so far this year I'd recommend foremost Kill Me Softly by Sarah Cross, The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa and Larkstorm by Dawn Rae Miller. But there are so many!

Favorite band? Maroon 5! I've been a big fan since their first CD! But can you believe they cancelled their show here in Switzerland twice?!

Give us one fun fact about yourself: I love gaming! My boyfriend and I are completely addicted to Pokemon games haha! I mean, some of them are really cute!

Last question..if you could go anywhere in the world where would you go? Okay, it's a tie between: Paris, London, São Paulo and Los Angeles! These are my favorite cities in the whole world but who knows it may change someday :)

Thank you so much for having me! Rachel

Feature Thursday (1)!!

Hi everyone!! Last week I mentioned to you all that I was interested in starting a blog feature here on catching books every week! So, I can officially announce that this week is the first week of my new feature!!

Feature Thursday is a feature (created by me!) where I have a guest post or blogger interview with a blogger so bloggers can make new friends and find new blogs!

So here is this weeks feature is Monica from Cover Analysis!!

Can you tell us a little yourself to your fellow bloggers?

Well, what do you want to know? This is my first ever interview. I'm math and reading geek. I swim (I have a killer free-style stroke, by the way) and run, I get a straight A's, and I love Fruit Loops. Oh, and BBQ chips. So yummy. 

What is your favorite part of the blogging process?

Writing the blog posts! I love that I can be myself, you know? I can type and type and type as much as I want to about books and no one complains about it! :) It gives me a sense of freedom.

What book are you reading right now?

Stolen by Lucy Christopher. I seriously want to shake some sense into the main character but it has me completely intrigued. :D

What is your favorite ya book of 2012?

Only one? *racks brain* I would say from what I read so far The Selection by Keira Cass. It's coming out this later this month and I loved it.

What was your favorite book growing up and why?

To be honest, I never even read all that much when I was younger. Only the occasional Dr.Seuss book once a year or so but I'm still growing up and my favorite one right now is The Giver by Lois Lowry. :) Such an amazing, original dystopian novel. 

Are there any books you would recommend to fellow bloggers and readers out there?

LEGEND BY MARIE LU! If you have not read it. You must get on your bike, get in your car, or ride a horse and go to Walmart and BUY IT! I completely and utterly in love with that novel and have re-read, at least, 5 times already.

Favorite band?

Er, um, hmmmmm. I'm going to have to pick two. Maroon 5 and Three Days Grace. Yup, that's right. I don't like One Direction but they are cute. 

Give us one fun fact about yourself:

Let's see . . .one fun fact about me. OH! Er, *thinks*. Alright, this is something that I'm kind of embarrassed about but it's 100% true and I think it's funny. If I ever, ever, eat cookies with milk I will fall asleep almost immediately. 

Last question..if you could go anywhere in the world where would you go? 

I would go someplace cold. I don't particularly like sunny warm weather. Yeah, I know. Shocker, right? But, I would go to somewhere not to noisy nor populated. OH! I got it . . ALASKA! :) Skiing with the penguins. Oh, and I was promised BBQ chips and a juice box for this interview.
