Feature and Follow #40
YAY it’s Friday!
Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature and Follow! If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers — but you have to know — the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.
The Feature and Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Rachel of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to meet more new bloggers!
What sets this Hop apart from others, is that our hosts feature two blogs. Every week they will each showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Just remember it is required, if you participate, to follow both their featured as well as our lovely hosts as a courtesy. How do you follow someone? Well, if you have a preference, state it in your Feature and follow post. I prefer being followed via Linky or Google+; or you can like my facebook page. If you prefer e-mail or RSS, that’s good as well. Although I am on a selfhosted WordPress blog – I have been able to add GFC back on my blog, you can find out how in my tutorial.
Question of the week:
Q: If you could hang out with any author (living) who would it be and what would you want to do?
How can I only choose one? Why do I have to try to only choose one? There are a lot of authors I admire, and whose books I really love, and I would like ot hang out with all of them somewhere nice, maybe in a park in Geneva, and we would have a picnic, with good food and even better wine, and we would chat about books, alternate worlds (both fictional and the possibility of real ones) and just get to know each other better. I know I sometimes feel like I know my favorite authors a little bit – even if that’s not true! But they have no idea I even exist apart from a tweet every now and then letting them know I reviewed their book 😀
What about you? Who is the author you’d like to hang out with, and what would you do?
Thanks for stopping by today, have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend.
Picking one is pretty hard! I decided to go with two of my fave authors from the very beginning of my reading spree! I’ve meet quite a few authors already, so I feel pretty lucky in a lot of ways. There are still several that I’d love to meet though!
Here’s my Follow Friday
Have a GREAT weekend!

I have not met many authors – I met Gayle Forman once, but that was before I had read any of her books, so I had no idea what to say to her. I also met Diana Gabaldon, and she was really nice 🙂 Of course this happened when I was in New York, not many of my favorite authors come all the way to Switzerland…

Picking one is hard! I wanted to go with my fave mystery/historical author, but he reads the blog. I’m pretty sure he’d see the red flags of me crushing on him. LOL! Although the fan letter I sent with the books for him to sign didn’t scare him off, then I guess I’m good. haha
Have a great weekend! 🙂
LOL that’s so funny! You should have done it – even said where you’d like to meet him and all…
Thanks for stopping by Jessica.

Great answer. Yes, it is hard to choose one. Geneva sounds like fun too!
Thanks for dtopping by.
I’m following you back via GFC.

Nice answer 🙂

🙂 Thanks!
You describe a very beautiful pic. It is hard to choose one but, I tried.:)
Here is my FF http://between-my-lines.blogspot.gr/2013/04/feature-and-follow-10-what-if.html
It would be an awesome day indeed 🙂 A girl can dream, right?
I know what you mean! It’s so hard to pick just one–and in my opinion, no fair saying they have to be living. 😀 Great answer! Old follower. My FFs are at Musings on Fantastia and LKHill. Happy Friday!
Thanks Liesel. There are quite a few authors who are living (and writing!) now that I’d love to meet, so that part wasn’t too difficult.
Have a wonderful weekend.
I like your ideas that sounds nice. I’m following you back via GFC! 🙂 my blog is http:/wsheam.blogspot.com/
Thanks for the comment and the follow 🙂
There’s no way that I could only choose one! There are too many out there that I would love to meet. Like you I’ve talked to a few with the occasional tweet and FB posts, but never anyone in person. Hanging out at a park would be fun, a nice picnic, maybe everyone would bring their pets so they could play, lots and lots of talk!
Exactly! It would be a fun day, in the shade with wine and lots of talk and laughter 🙂
Gathering everyone in a pretty spot and having nature’s version of a round table chat is a wonderful idea. Thanks for stopping by and for the follow. I hit you up on NetworkedBlogs. Happy Friday!
Thanks for the comment and follow back, Robyn 🙂
Picnic in Geneva sounds lovely 🙂

Thanks for stopping by My FF
Maybe you could join us as well 😀
hahaha I know right, I can never ever limit myself to just ONE answer…and this week was no different 🙂 Your day activities sound just divine! Authors, food, wine, outdoors and chatting about bookish things and other worlds… ♥ Fabulous answer, thanks for sharing & happy Friday 😀
Micheline @ Lunar Rainbows
Thanks Micheline – I think it would be a fun day! Happy Friday to you, too!
It was tough picking one, but I like how escaped the question. I might try that next time.

I thought my cop-out worked pretty well 😀
Thanks for stopping by, Aman.
It was a cop out lol! Sorry about the #FF confusion. I didn’t hit schedule and my internet went down Thursday and I just got it back. That will teach me to not schedule my posts.
Oh, that really sux! I’m glad your internet is back and everything is back in order 🙂 It’s a nice cop-out, though, don’t you think? 😛
Definitely!
There are so many great authors. It hard to only choose one.

Thanks for the comment and the follow Kassandra. I hope you’re having a good weekend.
I completely agree about thinking I know my favorite authors, but sure they don’t know me. I would have a blast at what you chose to do at your outing. That would be a fun time for sure! Great answer. Thank you so much for stopping by my FF. Old follower 😀 Jaclyn @ JC’s Book Haven.
Thanks Jaclyn 🙂 Hopefully, this kind of outing would be fun for all of us!
I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend.

This by far the smartest answer ever, yes, gather all the authors! hehe. Thanks for stopping by earlier. I am an old follower. 🙂
Thanks Jelly 🙂 I hope your weekend is good!
Great answer!! So hard to narrow it down to just one!!
Thanx for visiting my FF!
Naomi @ Nomi’s Paranormal Palace
I agree, Naomi, that’s just impossible – and this way, I have kept absolutely all options open 😉
