Follow Friday---9---

Follow Friday is a weekly meme in which you answer a questions about yourself. Its a lovely way to get to know more about your fellow book bloggers.Its hosted by Parajunkee . Thanks PJ. You want to participate?? Head right over to her blog, follow the rules and leave your link in Mr.Linky.

This week's question is-
Q) How many books do you read in a week? And in what form do you read them, or listen to them?
Since I got an ereader, I have bought very few paperbacks or hardback copies.I mostly read a LOT of ebooks and a few paperbacks when I am able to get them from the library or from my friends. I usually read 2-3 books in a week. Never more because I always have tests/assignments and homework to do. I am in awe of those people who can finish reading a book in 2-3 hours in one sitting. I haven't yet been able to figure out how they do so? (very jealous :P) There have been week's when I hardly have read anything. So, yeah, it varies from week to week. And, no, I don't listen to audiobooks. I feel they spoil the idea of reading a book and getting deep into it, forming a relationship with the characters.
Love this question, now I can do some lovely RAK to all my blogger friends who have ereaders. I have been going around sending everyone messages asking if they read ebooks, now all I have to do is check their FF answer. Thanks a lot  PJ for this wonderful question.

What's your answer?? Agree with me?? New to blogger?? I promise your gonna have a lot of fun.
Leave a link, my new friends!!

Waiting on Wednesday---8---

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme which features the book(s) you are eagerly waiting for to get published or to read. Its hosted by Breaking the Spine. This week on my WOW is- Forgotten by Cat Patrick. Its going to be published on the 7th of June 2011. Sounds amazingly exciting. Can't wait for it to come out. Just a little over a week.

Synopsis-
Each night when 16 year-old London Lane goes to sleep, her whole world disappears. In the morning, all that's left is a note telling her about a day she can't remember. The whole scenario doesn't exactly make high school or dating that hot guy whose name she can't seem to recall any easier. But when London starts experiencing disturbing visions she can't make sense of, she realizes it's time to learn a little more about the past she keeps forgetting-before it destroys her future. 

Part psychological drama, part romance, and part mystery, this thought-provoking novel will inspire readers to consider the what-if's in their own lives and recognize the power they have to control their destinies.


Lovely, isn't it?? Its something totally different,like  something I've never read before. What's on your WOW?? Leave a link??


Also I want to remind you all to please comment saying whether you read ebooks or not. I am planning on hosting a BIG ebook giveaway soon and I need enough number of people to participate. So please let me know. I will contact you later on when its all set up. Thanks

Teaser Tuesday---9---

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme in which you post a "teaser" from the book you are currently reading. Its super duper easy, all you have to do is flip open to any random page and pick a line that you like the most. Be sure not to add any spoilers, it just spoils the fun of reading the book. Its hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. My teaser is from Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. Its a hilarious book but Becky is as annoying as ever. I am thoroughly enjoying it as of now.

<He takes Minnie round the waist and pulls, but she's hooked her legs through the seat and is gripping on to the sleigh with superhero strength. "Could you get her off, please?" the elf says, with strained politeness. I grab Minnie's shoulders."OK" I mutter to Luke "You get the legs. We'll yank her off. One, two, three-" Oh no.>
Hahahahahaha I am sure you guys can guess what happened. Its so funny. This is one of the main reasons I like reading Shopaholic series. They are just so hilarious. What's in your TT? Leave a link???

I can't believe I had to bottle up my bookish feelings for a WEEK!! Be prepared to get bored with a lot of posts from me this week. :P

Facebook Fan Page.

I just realized something this morning. I had made a fan page for my blog on Facebook but I hadn't posted about it. I hardly have a few likes and hence my status and posts don't reach other bloggers who aren't following me. Facebook is another way of contacting bloggers and I have seen the amount of "blog traffic" online. So I thought why not post it right now.All of you bloggers who have a Fan page on Facebook or not, can like my page, if you want to that is :) post on my wall, contact for absolutely anything.

Born at Midnight by C.C Hunter (I WON IT!!!)

I won the giveaway hosted at The Cait Files for this book. I am so happy. This is my first time I won something and I am so glad that I got this book. I was very happy when I received the news and I couldn't wait to get the book in my hands. The book came yesterday in mail and I was so happy that I could hug the postman (hahahahaha not really, but yes, I was jumping up and down. The postman must've been like "Guess she won something worth a million dollar" :P ). I couldn't fathom why, receiving a book can make my day. I guess books are more precious to me than oxygen itself. What's more amazing is that I had no clue that I would get a signed copy of the book(Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!! my first ever signed copy) plus some wonderful swag. It was just so surprising. You see, yesterday was one of the best days of my life.Here are some snaps of the contents in my treasure chest (Yeah it comprises of books and book related items, not gold, blah!! who wants gold when they can have all the YA books in the world.)



Hahahahahahahah I am going mad here!!!!!!!!!!! Can't stop dancing.... *OUCH* hit my leg on the coffee table. Who cares *Resumes dancing*
 A few words that make a copy of a book as precious as diamond!!! YIPPEEEE.
Last but not the least....*Drum roll*
THE SWAG!!
1) 2 bookmarks
2) A notepad
3) A pen
4) A comb n mirror-2 in 1 


LOVE IT!!! Don't they look beautiful??!!!!??? Can't wait to start reading this book. The cover page looks so amazing!!! What do ya think??
