Feature and Follow #61 – Everyone Read it but Me
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 e-mail, RSS / Bloglovin’ or Google+; or you can like my facebook page, or even follow me on Twitter.
What book (or TV show or movie) have you not read that seemingly everyone else has?
That’s really easy! And please don’t get mad at me – I do own all the books, promise. I haven’t read any of the Harry Potter books yet. *ducks head and looks embarrassed* Yeah I know, it’s something everbody read but me, and I don’t really have an explanation as to why I haven’t read it yet. When the books first were released, I wasn’t back into reading a lot and I read maybe one or two books per year. When I did start reading, I first thought that HP was for younger readers than me – but now, I know better. Any book can be for any reader, and I read all genres and most age-groups now, depending on my mood.
What about you? What is your dirty secret, the one where you think that everyone read it but me? Please leave me a link to your feature and follow post in the comments so I can visit you back, and if you’re a new follower, let me know as well so I can return the favor.
Thanks for stopping by today! Have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend.

I was a late comer to HP, but I did read it and like it. So I am sure once you read the first one you will have them all read within two weeks…lol.
I have never read any of the Anita Blake series, but I have seen it everywhere.
I have watched most of the movies, and now I know I’ll enjoy the books as well… there are just so many other books I’d like to read as well 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.
Hardly a dirty secret, but the first thing that comes to mind is Gone Girl. I read another Gillian Flynn book and didn’t care for it, so I had (still have) no intention of reading this one.
Eh, I haven’t read Gone Girl either, actually… Thanks for stopping by Charleen.
I actually gasped! Sorry! But that’s okay, you’re not the only person who hasn’t read the Harry Potter books. I know others who haven’t also 🙂
LOL, I’m sorry I made you gasp so early, Goldie! Thanks for stopping by.
Hmmmm…. yes, I haven’t read or watched Harry Potter either. I think I would really enjoy it, just never got around to it.
Here’s My FF!

I’m so glad I’m not alone, Naomi! Thanks for stopping by.
I must make the same confession. I haven’t read HP. I first thought to save them to read with Will. Nope, he wanted superheros. Now I’m determined to read them with John. I have seen all the movies. You know I have. Happy reading, Lexxie (happy studying too!)
Oh that’s sad! I hope John will want to read them with you, then!
I have watched the HP movies as well 🙂 I coudln’t resist.
Thanks for sotpping by Robyn.
I can’t believe how many of you haven’t read Harry Potter! But, hey, there’s only so much time to read and there are so many books I haven’t read — classic and contemporary. Two examples? Pride and Prejudice and the Mortal Instruments series.
You’re right, Katie, there are just so many books! And I want to read them all 🙂
Thanks for stopping by! Have a fantastic Friday 🙂 I hope the girls are healthy again so you guys can enjoy your weekend.
It is alright if you havnt read H.P yet. I did not start to read them until the last book came out (i have a thing about having all the books in a series first) so you are okay!
Check out my FF
🙂 I actually look forward to reading them, even if I don’t feel like it just yet.
Thanks for stopping by.
I won’t hit you! 🙂
Not every read is for everyone. Something I’ve learned over the years. I loved Harry Potter though. I think I was in 6th grade when the first one came out because our teacher would read it to us for a bit before starting class. It was interesting. I actually paid attention and I think it was that Christmas my grandma bought it for me…if I am remembering correctly since it was soooo long ago!
So then yeah, had to buy the next two which I think were out at the time. Then from that point it was all about waiting til the next one!
Here’s my Follow Friday
Have a GREAT weekend!
Old Follower 🙂
I think I’ll enjoye HP, it’s the kind of universe I like to read about, there’s magic, excitement and growing up 🙂 I just haven’t been able to get to those yet… so many new and exciting books keep being released.
Thanks for stopping by Jessica 🙂
I didn’t start reading HP until right before the first movie was coming out because like you, I thought it was for much younger readers. The movie looked so good, so I thought what the heck and picked up the first one and was hooked immediately. Stop by my FF when you have a chance. Have a great weekend Lexxie!
I’m so happy to see all the other late-HP-comers on this thread today 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Traci!
Yup, gotta read those some time! 😀 Even if you’ve seen the movie, the writing style is delightful. I”m sure you’ll love them! 😀
My FFs are at LKHill and Musings on Fantasia.
I’m sure I’ll love the books… I have even gotten the French versions for my kids, and I hope I’ll be able to start it at the same time as them.
Thanks for stopping by Liesel.
LOL I can’t believe you owned up to that one, Lexxie! 😉 I’m just kidding… As we both know, there are so, so, so many wonderful books out there and it’s very hard to make time for them all. But we’re doing our best, aren’t we?!? 😉
Happy Friday, my friend! I hope you have a fabulous day! I’m sitting here watching it snow…
LOL I know, right? There are just too many books, and too little time!
Thanks for stopping by, Brandee. I can’t believe it’s already snowing in Colorado! Did you have time to see the leaves change colors?
Have a great weekend. *hugs*
Hopping through. HP does take an investment of time. But you’re lucky in that when you read them you can read all 7 straight through.
My FF
Yes, that is a very good thing. I’m not the most patient reader when it comes to series, and I always appreciate it when I can stay for several books in the same world 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Alison!
Don’t worry, I haven’t read any harry potter books either. No offense to his loyal supporters but i don’t own any of the books nor do i care to. It just never appealed to me. Sorry 🙂
Happy Friday!
I want to read them, but I haven’t gotten to it yet. And you have nothing to be sorry for, we all have different tastes in books 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Shane!
Hehehe 😀 Zane is reading through them for the first time right now. He’s on book 4 and loving them! He watched all the movies first and adored them, but he thinks the books are better. It’s my favorite series, but you know, you read a series when it’s calling you and this one obviously hasn’t said your name just yet. I hope you’re having a fantastic weekend!! Jaclyn @ JC’s Book Haven.
I loved the movies as well, and I am sure I’ll enjoy the books… once I decide to start reading I’ll fly throught them on my broomstick 😉
Thanks for stopping by!
I HAVEN’T READ HAPPY POTTER AS WELL OH GODS COME AND GETS HUGS I FEEL YOU!
I’m not sure if I ever will. :/
*hugs* I’m pretty sure I will one day since I already have all the books on my kindle… but you know 🙂
Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
I wasn’t on the bandwagon for that until the end..lucky you, you are in for a treat when you finally read them!
