Feature and Follow Friday: Happy Birthday

Parajunkee Alison Can Read


FEATURE & FOLLOW FRIDAY

Once you answer be sure to leave me your link so I can follow you back


Q: The FF is 150 weeks old! And we want to hear from you! What would you change about the hop? What do you like about it? Or just suggest a question to be used for next week! 

Think, think, think...

At the risk of sounding decaffeinated, I wouldn't change anything. The questions are never redundant, and the bloggers who participate do follow back. I've never seen such a great meme community.

Here's to 150 weeks and many more to come.

Suggest a question: What love triangle drove you crazy, turning the pages at the speed of light?

Review: Crash


Final Destination meets Romeo and Juliet in Lisa Mcmann's Crash, but fails to rival either story. 

The book opens with Jules having a vision of her crush, Sawyer Angotti, getting killed in a restaurant explosion. Then, she has it again. And again. And again....

The first half dragged with her unable to tell Sawyer or even admitting to herself that what she was seeing, was real. Partly because of the mental illness history in her family, and partly because she likes him. No girl wants to look foolish in front of mister right. I get that.

But half into the book, we were still being fed the same dialogue.  And to make matters worse, Mcmann's uses incomprehensible swear words, limiting the love story to a PG10 rating. 


Hopefully, the sequel will provide us with a bigger climax.
