Follow Friday, Book Blogger Hop, and Book Blogger Tag Along (3/11/11)
Friday, March 11, 2011Hey everyone! Gina and Nora here for some Friday fun!
Who are You the Boy/Girl, instead of You the Blogger?Nora: I am Nora, the reader/babysitter/library page/neat freak/book blogger extraordinaire; hear me roar! I have non-existent musical talent, but I love listening to my iPod. Books are my anti-drug. I learned to knit last week, so I'm currently struggling to compose something that slightly resembles a scarf. My friends are awesome, both the bookish ones and the non. I can currently be found in an undeveloped boondocks in New York with my multitudes of hermit crabs, books, and pirate paraphernalia.
Gina: My name is Gina. I read books and stuff. I love to write, walk around my neighborhood (because, seriously, there is nothing to do around the "undeveloped boondocks in New York."), and read YA. I spend most of my time writing on my wonderful blog, reading (duh!), and helping my bother with his homework. Nora and I are seniors in high school and can't wait to get out of this small place and into the world. (*dramatic music here*)
Jennifer over at Crazy for Books hosts a weekly meme where bloggers can unite over a bookish inquiry:
If I gave you £50 (or $80) and sent you into a bookshop right now, what would be in your basket when you finally staggered to the till?Nora: Oh, where do I begin? Usually, I'm a library pride all the way kind of girl, so I don't really buy my books, preferring the read it and pass it along methods instead. Usually I read the books before I buy, so I can judge if it’s worth purchasing or not. However, when I find one, I add it to the list!

Ghost Town by Rachel Cain
Halo by Alexandra Adornetto
Laurie over at Bitten by Paranormal Romance hosts this meme; it helps romance book bloggers unite with its questions:
How many erotic books do you buy in a month?Nora: Personally, maybe two or three. I'm not so much into buying (as explained above), but I am planning on harnessing some of the collective power of Amazon gift certificates to get Sunny's Monere: Children of the Moon series soon, and that classifies as paranormal e-rom, so yay for expanded horizons! (Plus, if you've never read the series, I highly recommend it because its not a steamy e-rom like others, it actually has an underlying back story that works in with the smut :)
*By the way, Gina and I are going to do our first book discussion read-along and we want you to pick the book! On the upper left hand side of the blog, there’s a poll. Please vote for your favorite choice!
