Follow Me Friday # 7




   So, Follow my Blog Friday is a meme hosted by Parajunkee and AlisonCanRead. It's where you answer the weekly question and then link yourself and you go and check out other blogs of your interest.

Q: What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done to get your hands on any particular book?

A:  So, I am NOT AT ALL crazy!  I have never done anything the slightest bit out there to get a particular book.  I will say that I'm persistent and will continue submitting requests if I don't get my way the first time on NetGalley.  I get something of a murderous shine to my eye and become really stubborn about it.  Other than that, I am deathly boring! :)

  2. Ha! That's funny because sometimes I've been known to get that shine in my eye as well. At least when it comes to Netgalley books!

  7. I am glad I am not the only one who re-request titles from NetGalley. I usually only do it, if I have increased my blog stats. Sometimes I am lucky enough to get titles I re-request. Thanks for stopping by my blog, now following back!

  11. Haha, you're awesome to be so determined on NetGalley! I usually don't request again from those who turn me down, unless there's this uber-awesomesauce book popping up there, and I'm talking really uber, lol.

    Thanks for stopping by, following you back.
    Have a great weekend!

  15. Hi there, new follower stopping on by!

    Oh yeah, I know what you mean about the NetGalley rejections-- I don't get it! It's an eGalley, what's the big deal about giving bloggers a sneak peak?! I'm sure there are licensing things where they can only allow so many people to view a title at a time, but dude they reject me ALL the time and I have no idea why, it gets really annoying lol

    Anyways! I would love if you stopped by to visit me, you can see my FF answer for this week at the link below ;)

  16. Just so you know, your librarian lives in fear of the murderous gleam in your eye. She also takes your name in vain sometimes, because you get ahead of her on hold lists...

    1. You are one of the few people who need not fear the muderous gleam! And it's okay if you take my name in vain, I think it's funny! :)
