This week's question is: When you’ve read a book, what do you do with it? (Keep it, give it away, donate it, sell it, swap it..?)


MY ANSWER: For the most part I keep my books! I might go back and re-read them someday if I have the time. But I love my books! Always have. Plus I like to stalk visit my fave authors and have them sign em.

Now when I've read a book that I didn't totally love, I will usually give it away in a contest and I have donated books to the library, some of my older contemporary type reads.



TGIF is a weekly feature created and hosted by GReads! that re-caps the week’s posts and has different question each week.  

This week's question is: Most Popular: What blog post has gotten the most comments/activity on your blog this year?


MY ANSWER: Ooh that's a tough one! I say that because I feel like the weekly memes, such as this and other popular ones, Teaser Tuesday, Waiting on Wednesday, In My Mailbox, etc are "cheating" since a lot of those have a lot of comments. Same goes for anything that relates to a contest. Those always get more comments for obvious reasons.

So basically I was just looking at my reviews and seeing which one had the most comments and that was Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton! A really interesting and intense kind of read! Way different from what I was expecting, yet still amazing! 


It's also my birthday today, so if I'm not totally active today in the blogosphere, which I should have a decent chunk of time after I get off work to check on things! But yay! It's also my niece's birthday too! She's very excited for hers! Me, kind of ehh...just want my cookie cake!!

  2. Happy Birthday!!!! I had a similar answer to you about blog comments - a lot of them have come from memes, so I didn't want to include them.
