Feature & Follow #3

Gain Book Blog Followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & 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 & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee 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 show off more new blogs!
When did you start blogging?
I started this blog last week!
But I have a host of other blogs and websites. This is my first book blog though.

What is your favorite part of book blogging?
Pretty covers! No, really – just finding new books to love.
What is your favorite book(s)?
I am a SF junkie – the Takeshi Kovacs series (Altered Carbon, Broken Angels, and Woken Furies) by Richard K. Morgan are all my favorite books. But I also love me some paranormal romance.
What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?
Meeting other cool book loving people.
Q: When you step out of your USUAL genre what do you like to read? Best books in that genre?
My usual genre is science fiction but when I’m not reading science fiction I’m reading some steamy romance!
The best books I’ve read in this genre lately are:

Captive in the Dark (The Dark Duet #1)
Seduced in the Dark (The Dark Duet #2)
Lauren
I love New Adult. I keep hearing about these books, but they freak me out!

Love is not a triangle

Book Me! and Carmen Jenner.com
Happy Friday! =D
Julie
I know, last week you made me giggle with your comment! Your blog is so cute – and that’s funny since your book looks TERRIFYING!
Thanks for stopping in!
Heather Topham Wood
Thanks for stopping by my FF! I’m just getting into sci-fi, I found some really cool books in that genre and was pleasantly surprised. And yay that you’re a new adult author (I’m a NA author and reader too)! New follower =)
Julie
Hey Heather! I’ve added your books to my Goodreads list, your covers are beautiful. Thanks for stopping in!
Amanda @ Letters Inside Out
I’ve been so curious about these two! I’ve not really seen much about them, but since they are some of your favorites I’ll have to get my hands on them.
Julie
Amanda, they were un-put-down-able! And not in an “Oh, what a great book” way either – but in a “Holy shit, WTF is going on here and why am I still reading this book” way.
I can’t explain it, but I could. Not. Stop. Reading. CJ Roberts is a brilliant author because she pulled it off and you totally get sucked into the train-wreck that is The Dark Duet!
Alison Can Read
Hopping through. new follower! I’ve never liked sci fi. It makes me sad because I’d like to enjoy it.
My Hop
Julie
LOL Alison! You should try my book, it’s SF with a very cool girl as heroine…
Laura BurgandyIce
Oooh, what a great blog name!! LOVE new adult! I love SF… do you really write text books?! Nice. Thx for hoppin’ by to visit my blog! I’m a new follower back. Have an awesome Friday!
Julie
Thanks Laura – I really do write textbooks! Sometimes it’s fun, if it’s for the little kids. But sometimes it’s just a whole lot of complicated stuff!
LoriP
High Five back at ya. I love CitD and SitD. You’re right they are not for everyone. They are Taboo/Dark erotica. But CJ Roberts wrote the life out of them.

I saw this series mentioned in another blog participating on this week’s FF and just got the first one for my Kindle to give it a try
I guess adult fiction would be where I got the most out of my usual genre…

If I step away from the YA and NA books, it’s for non-fiction. I have to keep my Jeopardy skills ninja-sharp
Julie
I hear ya Nickie, I read non-fiction all day everyday as part of my day job, so yeah – I guess that counts for me too!
