Today’s featured blog is this incredible, beautiful, amazing, brilliant, awesome blog called Romance Around the Corner, and the girls running it are so cool, so gorgeous, their names are Marie and Brie and oh those names! Poems should be written about them!
But seriously, we can’t believe our luck, the blog’s been up about a month and we already have 50+ followers, we’ve had author’s feedback, it’s amazing. We feel really happy because now we get to know more people like us that are just crazy about books, so we thank you for taking the time to visit us, both old followers and new ones, we hope this will be the beginning of a great friendship!
This week’s question is:
Q. Do you have anyone that you can discuss books with IRL? Tell us about him/her.
You know what? I had this friend, her name starts with M and ends with ARIE, she was the only one of my friends that read romance (sad but true), and the best part was that she read those books so fast, every day there was a new book to talk about. But it all changed one day when she told me she was leaving for London “I have to follow my dream” she says, and I’m all “WTF!!!!!! What the f*** do you mean your dreams!?!?! I thought we were gonna read raunchy books and talk about them forever! You can’t leave!” but she left anyway, and after that my life just wasn’t the same…
One day I decided to lure her back to the dark side (she was getting very smart and posh you know, and just I couldn’t stand it anymore) so I asked her if she wanted to start a book blog with me and well, I guess you know the rest…
Well, I guess my answer is pretty obvious; I discuss books with my book buddy and best friend Brie (and now with you all). Since I came to London I have been trying to engage other people to read and discuss romance books with me but NO ONE is like Brie, so when she told me her idea about a book blog as a way to keep our discussions I immediately jumped in and since then I have neglected my academic life to read and write reviews! At least my writing is getting better -I hope so ;)-. She may say that I am a book’s garbage disposal (I do read everything) but she can’t live without me!
Congrats on being featured for Follow Friday at Parajunkee! I'm your newest stalker. ;)

Now you have a follower all the way from the far reaches of the Pacific Ocean, in SAMOA! Love this Follow Friday thing. Gives me the opp to discover neat blogs like yours! Im always buzzed when i can find someone to talk about books with, esp someone who likes the same stuff i do. My 13yr old daughter would have to be my best book buddy. She is a total bk addict like me. Only prob is - i wont let her read the (ahem) more 'SENIOR' stuff that i like as well! Looking fwd to reading through your blog and hopefully finding some good bk recommendations.

Love the background here and that you have a Close Friend to talk and blog with. New Follower. congratulations on being on the Follow. It helped push my blog ahead and PJV is great to host it. She also helped me several times with blog design stuff - usually I ask for the impossible and she makes it happen! Hope you will come by and follow back. Fangs, Wands and Fairy Dust

Congratulations on being the featured blog this week.
ReplyDeleteLuckily for me my general romance reading preferences are the same as my Mother so we can discuss both our favourites books and favourite authors together.
We often read the same book and then discuss what we liked/disliked about it.
It's only when I'm wanting to discuss my love of alternative or paranormal romances that I have to come online and find someone to talk about my latest favourite or least favourite book/author. But that's where my discovery of book bloggers has been a great boon for me.
Before I forget, I'm a new follower as well.
Congrats on being featured! So cool you have a best friend like that: mine isn't as extremely booky as me.
ReplyDeleteNew follower, and have a great weekend!

@Lainy I think I’m changing my profile pic for one of my cat, you should see joder’s –the second commenter- those cats are cute! And I’m glad you like the look of the blog because boy did it take some effort, all those Blogger is for dummies comments are so wrong! Or maybe they are right on target because honestly at first we tried using Wordpress and that one I couldn’t even figure out how to install!
ReplyDelete@Kinberly, mel u, ExtremeReader and Amy Jones: Thanks for coming by I’m following you all as well. Have a great evening.

ReplyDeleteReading Lark's Book Blogger Hop & Follow Friday
Evening you two! I'm a brand new followers from the FF event, and I absolutely love the idea of co-hosting a blog like ya'll do, and that you are BFF's. Congrats on being featured!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love your answers together; it reminds me when I was 16 and I worked at a bank and the three women there were bffs; they were tight and did everything together! Including reading raunchy romance - they loved it so much they insisted I read it too! And they gave me a historical romance series to start on and I gotta say I was hooked; such a great guilty pleasure:) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete@Tevya, the best part of having a blog partner is that we foolproof each other’s reviews…
ReplyDelete@Molli: thank you very much, your blog is lovely!
@Cathy: great to see you here, I am an old follower of your blog.
Aloha, g'day, and greetings galore. This is the coolest blog I have ever seen and am excited to follow it day to day, week to week, month to month and on. Take care and have a great weekend.
ReplyDelete@kk4booksnlighthouses: is this a pick up line? Who cares! You had me at Aloha! Actually you had me before that because I was already following you, but you sure made me smile, thanks for coming by!
