Follow My Book Blog Friday & Book Blogger Hop























It's Friday! That means it's time for Follow My Book Blog Friday and Book Blogger Hop with our hosts Parajunkee's View and Crazy For Books.

The featured blog this week at Parajunkee's View is The Unread Reader written by my lovely and talented friend and D31S, Missie! Congrats sweetie! You and your blog are fantastic, so it's very well deserved. Make sure to visit and say hello to her!

Crazy For Books wants to know who are my favorite authors and why. Well, that is a very hard question to answer because I have so many, but I'll try to keep it short.

Currently, I love Jeaniene Frost, Charlaine Harris, Jim Butcher, Richelle Mead, MaryJanice Davidson, JK Rowling, and Karen Marie Moning, among so many others. I love them because they all brought something new to their genres and their stories have captivated me completely. They are masters at what they do and I worship at their altars. They made me fall back in love with Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, and YA books. Isn't that why I am here?

So, what are your favorite authors? Leave a comment and let me know!

    Thanks for visiting my blog! :) I want to see what you think of The Iron King-- I'm following you back! Also, I like the wings for your ranking system. I should have images for rankings. I just haven't found anything I can use without being tacky or a copy-cat.

    Have a great weekend!
