Book Blogger Hop Friday (November 12-15)

It's Friday and time to hop and follow!

This week's question for the Book Blogger Hop is from Christina of All About YA Books:

"If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?"

Interesting...
Yup!  I always start with the first book if it's a series.  I never tried reading book series out of order...


The we thave this for Parajunkee's Follow Friday from Jackie of Insane Hussein (Featured Blog):

"What is your usual monthly book budget?"

Wow, that's hard to compute. lol.  I tried to have a monthly book budget but I always fail to follow it.  [bad, tsk.] So usually I try to estimate the price of the books I would want that is coming out per month and then do the allotment.  Then put in extra just in case a magazine or a rouge book props out.  Mine fluctuates around $30-$50.  Anywhere beyond that and my wallet will go mad again. lol.

Thanks for dropping by!  Do leave a message.  I love messages. :)

Next week will be the start of the Gratitude Giveaways, hosted by Kathy of I am a Reader, Not a Writer, that I'm participating in. And just under 7 days before the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 movie!  Good stuffs next week! :)  Cheers!

I don't pay much attention to what I spend. Lately it hasn't been bad. Contests and ARCs and NetGalley are keeping me supplied.

One of the first books I reviewed with Net Galley was Tyger Tyger and it's author, Kersten Hamilton, is guest posting and doing a giveaway at my blog today and the giveaway will go through Sunday. The book comes out on Monday! ANd, it is one of my favorite books this year. Come by/

Hello!
Stopped on the hop - I also start all my series novels from the first one, and have exchanged a book for book 1 if I discover it is part of a series while reading.
Btw, what is the reason behind the original blog name - maiden veil? Is that a Wheel of Time reference?

Jenny said...

I don't really have a set budget for books. I buy them when I can. And I definitely don't read series out of order! I prefer to let things unfold the way that the author intended.

Jennifer said...

Thanks for stopping by I'm returning the love. Wish I could get out of the bookstore spending under 50. That would be great...I just can't help myself.
Have a great weekend.

Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog. I love your signature- so cute!

Yes, Need has come into the library for me so I'm looking forward to reading that and then Captivate so I can review Entice in time for the release date. Not long to wait now.

I thought I was a follower already but it turns out I wasn't (gfc playing up again) so I am now.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend :)
