Follow Friday #3


Feature and Follow Friday is a blog hop put together by two hosts: Parajunkee and Alison Can Read as a way to help bloggers become aware of other blogs and bloggers. It's a great way to make new blogger friends.


Q. Name 3 authors that you would love to sit down and spend an hour or a meal with just talking about either their books or get advice on writing from?

Wow, this is a difficult question. How to only pick just three when there are so many different authors that I admire and respect. There is no question that J.R. Ward would be my first choice. I am completely obsessed with her Black Dagger Brotherhood series and I would love to know every little tidbit that she would be willing to tell me. Also, I just find her method of writing interesting. I want to know all about her Rice Krispies. Sherrilyn Kenyon is another author whose books I adore. When I first began reading adult books, hers were some of the first that I picked up. My third author I would love to meet is Lisa Kleypas. There isn't a book that I don't like that she has written. I've fallen in love with quite a few of her heroes. She just has a way with writing. Well there you have my three. I hope if you haven't read their books that you take the time to pick one up. You won't be disappointed.

  5. Follow Follow Follow as many as you can, as many as you want, or just follow a few. The whole point  is to make new friends and find new blogs. Also, don't just follow, comment and say hi. Another blogger might not know you are a new follower if you don't say "HI"
  6. If someone comments and says they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the Love...and the followers.

  4. Hi, just following back.

    I haven't read anything by Sherrilyn Kenyon since she has such a huge backlist. I'm a little intimidated by how much I will have to read to catch up on any of her series. I've read a few books by the other two authors and enjoyed them.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and have a great weekend.

  5. Thanks for stopping by my blog! following back ;)

    Only know 1 of this authors though, I've only read a book by Lisa but I liked it, and I've seen the other names around!

  6. @Alexis-Thanks for stopping by. Isn't Lisa Kleypas fabulous? =)

    @Kristy-A huge backlist can absolutely be daunting. There are quite a few authors that are I am dying to read but the backlist is so massive that I just keep putting it off. I do highly recommend her if you ever find the time.

    @Melannie-If you are a fan of paranormal romances than I definitely recommend both of the authors. If not it's understandable. If you liked the book by Lisa, I definitely suggest picking up some others. She creates the best heroes.

    @Pedantic Phooka-Thanks for stopping by. =)

  17. Great choices, Danielle! I only recently discovered BDB, but am totally hooked after reading three books. I can't wait to read the rest! I first encountered Sherrilyn Kenyon writing as Kinley MacGregor and think she's great! And Lisa Kleypas is just one of the best historical romance authors out there.

    Have a great weekend!

  25. It sounds like Sherrilyn Kenyon has had such a dramatic life. Did you know that she was homeless with a new baby at one point, when she was still trying to make it as an author? Wow. I can't even imagine.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I notice you too, when I hop around, following you back and yes Sherrilyn is top author for me. I love love her Dark Hunter series- speaking of which did you read they are making the Dark Hunters into a TV series :)

  27. @Jennifer-If you like historical romance I definitely suggest you give Lisa Kleypas a try. She writes wonderful heroes.

    @Andi-Thanks for stopping and thanks for checking out my Man Candy Monday pics. Yeah, I love that one of Jake. *Sigh*

    @Madigan McGillicuddy-Yeah, some of the things I've read about Sherrilyn Kenyon are crazy. I would not have been able to persevere like she has.

    @BLHMistress-So glad you stopped by. I am extremely happy about her books being developed into movies and a t.v. show. I just hope they do them justice.
