Follow Friday (7) / Book Blog Hop (6)

Follow Friday!  TGIF!!! Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee. It's a great way to meet new blogger friends!

This weeks question is:
Q. Inspired by the inane twitter trend of #100factsaboutme, give us five BOOK RELATED silly facts about you.
1. I am TOTALLY addicted to reading. :)

2. I've started collecting e-readers apparently. (I LOVE physical books, but I also love saving a tree too!) I still like books the best though.

3. I used to read general fiction books ALL the time.. Then I read The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, and fell in love with YA!!

4. I try to read while walking on the treadmill... it never turns out very well.

5.  Instead, I listen to audiobooks while I walk! :)~

Book Blogger Hop!!Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Crazy-For-Books.com. It's a great way to meet new people and friends around the blogworld!

Today's question is:
"If you could physically put yourself into a book or series…which one would it be and why?"

Hmmm... I'm 'going to say in The Mortal Instruments Series! Because it's my favorite series, and... come on.. Who wouldn't want to meet Jace?! LoL!

I also wanted to mention that made a Facebook account just for TheReaderBee. (I have Facebook, but it's kind of ackward talking to family and friends that are non-readers about books!) I made a regular account instead of a fan page, so that I could still communicate with friends. I would love to have some new Facebook Followers!

or http://www.facebook.com/thereaderbee

I've also joined NetworkedBlogs, and would appreciate any followers there too!  --------->

Wow, I'm asking a lot today! LOL

Thanks for stopping by everyone! Please leave a comment with your link so I can follow you back!

    I have yet to actually listen to an audiobook. I think I should try that sometime.

    Hey there! New follower here!

    LOL! I tried to walk and read on the treadmill too and failed! Too much moving! Now I watch TV and read later.

    Happy Blog Hop Friday!

    I haven't tried reading on the treadmill, but my friend does it all the time. She uses large type books, though I don't imagine many YA titles are being printed in large type.

    I really like the idea of audio books while on the treadmill. I might have to try that out I sure could use the workout.

    I haven't read the series but I will eventually. My husband read them and I just have to find the books. He tends to leave them in odd places.

    My answer's a little selfish. Come see why. Happy blog hop.

    I just started City of Bones and then stopped. I really have to get into it again, because I really enjoyed it at the time and I just got distracted by something else! Anyway, I am also your newest follower and you should stop by my blog to follow me too.

    Yeah reading and walking is hard. I've been reading while on the exercise bike. That's not so hard. :)

    Have a good weekend!

    You gotta love to read to be a book blogger! I mean it just wouldn't make sense! Really like blogging and writing/reading reviews now because I like to know if there's a book I shouldn't get into or if there is one that I have to leap for!

    Here's my Friday Hops

    Have a GREAT weekend!

    Hi Christy! New follower coming through the Crazy for Books blog hop, and wanted to say great pick for your series! I've heard a lot of cool things about the Mortal Instruments books, and it's steampunkish, which makes it all the better! I, too, have suffered the perils of trying to read on a treadmill and have found that it doesn't work ;-) lol

    Anywho, hope you have a great weekend!

    Hi Christy! We share the same name just different spelling!

    I never thought about the Mortal Instruments for my answer! That's a good one!

    I used to listen to audiobooks on my way to work (75 miles one way-I live in the boonies) and it made the time fly by but I can't imagine it on my treadmill! I'd be wiping out big time, LOL! Be Careful, Girlie!

    I'm glad I met you! Stop by and see me!

    Thanks for hopping by my blog! And yes, you totally need to read the Chicagoland Vampire series, it is to die for, ha ha ha. Ok, I thought that was funny ;)

    I haven't read The Mortal Instruments yet, but it seems like I should, right??? Nah, already put it on my TBR list.

    Have a great weekend!

    Audiobooks are nice, when your eyes just can't take reading! I sometimes wish i had a private reader who would read me my books whenever i feel like it, an audiobook is like a solution to that!:D
    except i fall asleep listening to them if im not multitasking!
    I haven't heard of the series*blush* will do!
    Have a nice weekend!
