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.

  1. (Required) Follow the Follow My Book Blog Friday Host {Parajunkee & Alison Can Read } and any one else you want to follow on the list.

  3. Put your Blog name & URL in the Linky thing on Parajunkee's blog.
  4. Grab the button up there and place it in a post, this post is for people to find a place to say hi in your comments
  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.

    Hopping through. I'd like to meet JR Ward too. I've only read one BDB book, but I really liked it.

    @Alison Can Read-Thanks for stopping by. You definitely have to read the BDB series. It is so good. I can't even count how many times I've read it.

    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.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! following back ;)

    @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. =)

    I've heard great things about J.R. Ward but have yet to pursue her books, maybe i will now..

    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!

    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.

  26. BLHmistressJuly 22, 2011 at 10:44 PM

    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 :)

    @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.
