Feature & Follow Bloghop #5 : Squirt some tears

Feature and Follow Friday is a blog hop hosted by the wonderful and amazing Parajunkie and Alison Can Read

Q: WHAT IS THE LAST BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY? TELL US ABOUT THE SCENE…

A: I know this is going to sound a bit silly... but I am not really a crier. I think the one that stuck out to me the most was the final installment of the Harry Potter series. Once Snape's character made a full circle, I just couldn't contain myself. I remember reading at work and had to get up and go to the bathroom so I could cry in peace. Maybe I should start crying more often? hehe! I know it is an old one, but definitely a good one :)


I wish each and every one of you a happy holidays! If you follow... I will return the favor :) <3

Feature & Follow Bloghop #3

This is our 3rd week to participate!!!!!! YAY!!! So excited!! 

Q: What writing device or trick most irritates you when reading a book? For example, if an author employs an omnipotent narrator that is sometimes considered bad form.

1. Insta-love. Cannot stand it when characters are instantly in love with each other. Why not create some sort of conflict? It isn't realistic and makes their relationship seemed forced.

2. Huge Cliff Hangers. When I am really into a book and the author purposely ends on a huge cliff hanger so you'll buy the next book. This is just a turn-off and makes me want to not finish. I don't demand an ending, just some sort of closure to book 1 with the lure of other cool things in book 2. 

3. When writers don't say what they mean. Recently, I have read a few novels where I have no idea what the author is trying to say. I love beautiful prose as much as the next person, but sometimes it is just toooooo much!

This is our second week to participate in the feature and follow hop hosted by the amazing Parajunkee and Alison Can Read! Last week, we hopped around the internet, met so many cool people, and learned that we should read Anna Dressed in Blood!

Q: When you step out of your USUAL genre what do you like to read? Best books in that genre?

Many of us here at Witchy Reviews, really enjoys books with all kinds of different elements (just check our genre list). I (Elphie) have been popping out of the YA realm and hopping into books that have more adult related themes. I know this is an oldie, but I really liked The Help and actually read it before everyone made a big deal about it :) 


((Thanks everyone for stopping by!))

There are so many wonderful book bloggers out there 

....and we thought we would jump on the band wagon and connect with them!

This is our first week to participate...we are no longer Feature & Follow Virgins!

Q: What book do you think would make a great Halloween movie? Please explain in graphic detail of goriness... 

 

I haven't read any particularly gory books but I would say that the Cypress House by Michael Koryta would be an excellent choice.There are several scenes where they find dead bodies that have been rotting away in the swamps of Florida and another scene with a bloody heart in a box. Also, the main character sees people as skeletons if they will die soon.
The Cypress House would be absolutely perfect for the Halloween season!
