Feature & Follow Friday


FF 2012 Feature & Follow #106


Today's question is:
Christmas in July! Someone gives you a gift card for two books (whatever that costs). What two books will you buy?


What? Two books? Two books only? It's not...somehow...in a way...two boxes of books? No? Oh, well..
This is my problem with book buying, as well. I hop around all those different blogs with their ravings over books and I want to read ALL of them at once. Which is impossible. Because I don't have the time. Or the money. Anyway, these are the books I'd choose (among a thousand others):

My Life Next DoorEverneath (Everneath, #1)

My Life Next Door because I love, love, love contemporary fiction and because I heard nothing but great things about it and Everneath because I didn't really care for it at first but then got VERY interested once I read the Amazon Kindle sample so that I need to get it soon :)

    Hopping through. I didn't love Everneath as much as most people but I would be tempted to get it for the cover alone.

    I love the cover for both of them! The sweetness and romantic... ness (?) of the first one lol and the fieriness and strength of the second. I have heard some great things about everneath but never read it :( Maybe one day! Old Follower!

    Even though you don't have a hypothetical gift card... You should totally buy My Life Next Door. It's so freaking good. Loooove the Romance. Also... a little bit darker and way more of a tear jerker, but also awesome is the forthcoming Pushing the Limits. You totally want to read them both!!!

    Everneath didn't appeal to me the way I was hoping it would. But I bought it based on the cover alone. It's just so stinkin' pretty. New follower. Thanks for stopping by my blog. :D

    Ooh, definitely want to read My Life Next Door:) Thanks for reminding me to put it on my TBR list. I love contemporary too. Everneath was really good! And the 2nd book is coming out at the beginning of 2013, I think.

    The same thing happens to me! I wish I could read one book every ten minutes, that way I could read every book I wanted to. :)
