Feature & Follow #11 ~ Fun or Fail?

featurefollow


I'm so excited to finally be joining Feature and Follow Friday!! This is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read where they each feature a fellow blogger and ask a question which can be answered by participating bloggers. If you aren't already following the two hosting bloggers, please visit their blogs to follow them, the bloggers they're featuring, and enter your own blog in the linky. Hop around to other blogs - find new blogs to follow and gain some new followers as well. :D

Q: Give us a sneak! What are you reading? Tell us about a fun or fail scene in your current read.
 
I'm currently reading Darkness on a Pale Blue Stone by D.T. Peterson.  Okay, so to give you some background, the book takes place in 2072. A global blackout destroying all technology throws the world into chaos, and there is even talk of possible aliens whom the people of Earth are calling "Exterminators" destroying anything left that's human made.

Though this is a dark and scary kind of story, there's actually been some fun scenes that I've really gotten a kick out of. The opening scene was so much like an action movie with plenty of danger and suspense. I felt like I could picture Tom Cruise playing the main role - it was really cool. It felt like an homage to those kinds of movies like Mission Impossible, Snatch, etc. That's all I'll say so I don't give anything away! :D

How about you? I can't wait to read everyone's responses. This is a kick ass question!!

Since GFC is pretty much going by the wayside, I'd love to be followed by Bloglovin', email, and/or Twitter. Let me know if you're a new follower, and I'll gladly return the favor! :)

  1. Futuristic/dystopian/alien, I know a few bloggers that go nuts over that combo. I don't think I'm going to get to my FF because it's been a sudden ear infection day. Grrh. I'm already following on bloglovin, but have you considered signing up with Networked Blogs? So far, I like their set up the most. Have a great weekend, Jennifer!!

    1. Hey Robyn!! I'm one of those who go nuts over books like those, lol. I'm sorry to hear about your ear infection! Kick it out! :) I'm on Networked Blogs, but I don't really get it. I'm at my limit, too. It says I can't follow any more blogs that way. >.< I like Bloglovin' cause they email me once a day with posts from every blog I follow. I always check my email. :) Can you tell me more about Networked Blogs?

  2. Hi Jennifer. That book sounds really interesting. I don't read much futuristic/dystopian books but would like to try some more.

    Thanks for stopping by today. Ive followed you back on GFC (even though its probably pointless lol), bloglovin', twitter and G+. Have a great weekend.

    I'm already following you via e-mail and Bloglovin' it's a good idea to prepare for the disappearance of GFC, I think :)
