Follow Friday

By -
Follow my book blog Friday is a meme hosted by Parajunkie and Alison Can Read.  It is a great chance to discover new blogs- it is one of my favorite memes out there!





Today's Question is:

Q. Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?). 

 

 

Man, this is a hard one.  I can think of a few books that this would fit.  The Poisonwood Bible was the first book that made me really angry.  The Lovely Bones was the first book that I think I could say changed me.  The Gemma Doyle Trilogy from Libba Bray introduced me to a world of YA fantasy that I never knew exsisted.  Whew!


So what about you?

Thanks for coming back to Short and Sweet Reviews for Day 3 of our Blogaversary celebration! As I was trying to think up what do do for my third day... my brain hit a total blank.... I literally just sat and: I was thinking about doing a post on what I have learned as a blogger... I was going to do a rant on things that frustrate me as a blogger... I was going to talk about some of my favorite books... and then I realized- those are not "celebration" types of post.  So lets just get on to the giveaway shall we? Today since I am feeling silly I am going to giveaway a mystery package with 2 books in it!  I'm not telling you what books I'm including- and who knows maybe there will be some other fun stuff thrown in too- since I am feeling super silly! a Rafflecopter giveaway <a href="http://rafl.es/enable-js">You need javascript enabled to see this giveaway</a>.
