Book Blogger Hop July 5th

This week's question submitted by Elizabeth.

Question: Do you like or dislike Rafflecopter and why?

Answer: 
           To be honest, I had no clue what Rafflecopter was. I had to look it up and I learned that it is used for giveaways. It looks like it could be a big help, but I have yet to use it. I'll wait to see what others post before using that site for future giveaways. :D 




***This is just a little side rant that has nothing to do with this hop. I hope that everyone in the USA had a great independence day. The video above is the song, God Bless the USA by, Lee Greenwood.

Book Blogger Hop June 28

This week's question submitted by Aloi. 

Question: So would you read a book just because of the hype?

Answer: I have been known to follow the crowd every now and then.When the Water for Elephants movie came out, I made myself go read the book. I think it's fun to be able to connect with people through books. When I am reading I feel like I am in my own little world, so when I get to share that world with others its great. It's a good way to build relationships. 

** Can't wait to read your answers. Please leave comments down under. :D

Book Blogger Hop for June 21-27

Question of the week: When you are writing your reviews, do you write them as you are reading or wait until you are completely done with the book?

Answer: 
               When I write reviews I usual wait until I finish the book. This way I can rate it and give it my overall opinion. I might start making notes as I go along, because I sometimes forget to include details to backup my opinions. 


*** That's it for this week! I look forward to reading what others wrote. Comments are more than welcome, so are followers. ;] 

- Much love,

Happy Friday everyone. Though if you're a student everyday is pretty much Friday now that it's summer! :))

This weeks question is: What ARC would you love to get your hands on right now?

A: DUHH easy question. haha. I would love love love it if I had Richelle Mead's new series, Bloodlines right now, which happens to be a spin off series of Vampire Academy. The book comes out this month ( Aug. 23) I know its so close, but I can't wait anymore! 

Here is the synopsis from Richelle Mead's Website: 

Blood doesn't lie...

Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding. To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty - a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning...

Q: Talk about a book that most changed or influenced your life.

A: So I know this probably will sound silly but I would have to say it was Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Before I read that book I despised the very thought of reading. I didn't understand why people would read for 'fun'. The very thought would send chills throughout my body.  After I was forced to read Twilight (against my will, in case you didn't see how I mentioned forced) I found myself wanting more. My brain wanted to adsorb more words. It was like a little tug on my heart string.  I was probably 11 or 12 at the time in middle school. (I'm in college now)   So it's been a couple years since then. Too bad the Twilight movies kinda ruined the books for me though.  

Well that's all for tonight bye guys! Have a great day.

So since we have to find giveaways this week I discovered this giveaway.
The Reader Bee is giving away the book, The Goddess Test (autographed too, that's like double points!) Follow the link here to her blog: The Reader Bee.

Now onto follow Friday!
Here is this weeks question.
Q: "What is the worst book that you've ever read and finished?"

A: This is a hard one because I've read so many terrible books! But if I had to choose one, it would be Going Too Far by Jennifer Echols.
I was so excited to read this book because of all the hype surrounding it, but once I picked it up, I wanted to build a time machine so I could go back and warn myself not to. I didn't like the main character. A lot of people really enjoyed reading this and I want to like it but I can't. What makes it worse is that I bought it. :(

Hey everyone. It i so nice out right now, so I'll try to keep this short. ;)

Q. How many books do you read in a week? And in what format do you read them, or listen to them?

A:  I try not to read too many books at once because usually I end up not finishing any of them. Right now I am reading three books; 1 in paper format and 2 on my kindle. 

 

 "What book-to-movie adaption have you most liked?  Which have you disliked?"

A: I've enjoyed the Harry Potter movie series, though I've never read the books so maybe I'm biased. But I've really disliked the Twilight movies; it completely ruined the series for me unfortunately.

This weeks Question:

If you find a book you love, do you hunt down other books by that author?

Answer: Yes Yes Yes! I love it when I read books that take my breathe away because it doesn't happen very often so when I find an author who is able to do that I tend to stick with them.

"Outside of books, what is your guilty pleasure?"
Answer:  
Outside of books I would have to say playing the piano or other various instruments (guitar, ukulele, harmonica, ocarina, clarinet... etc) is my "guilty" pleasure. ( idk why it's called "guilty" because I don't feel bad while doing it) Also playing tennis. I'd love to know what you guys enjoy doing as well so don't forget to drop me a link to your post.
p.s. I am also having a giveaway right now. ( You can find out more in the link right under my header)

Hey everyone, I hope you are all having a fantastic time today. Yeah lets give it up for Fridays! Also I can't believe I did this but I went and saw the Justin Bieber movie today and I actually enjoyed it. Hardy har folks (whatever that means) ;P Anyways lets answer some Qs! 

 This weeks question: 

"Do you only read one book at a time or do you have several going at once?"

Answer:

Well I am usually reading several books at once. Sometimes this takes me forever just to finish one book but I can't help it because there are just too many interesting books out there and by the time I take a break from one book I find a new one. :( It also doesn't help now that I have a kindle. I need to manage my reading time. ;)

Question: "How did you come up with your blog name?"

Answer: 

Gosh I really don't like my blog name all that much. I wish I could go back in time or something and ward myself away from ever thinking about this name. Haha but anyways I couldn't think of a name because all the good ones were taken and I wanted my name at first to be "Read Books" but that name was taken, so I just added Have fun to the end and voila, you get "Read Books Have Fun."  

Well that's all for today I suppose. Leave me a link to your post and I'll follow you in the spirit of follow Friday :) but feel free to follow me too.

Hi everyone, it's finally Friday again! I hope you guys are all as excited as I am. This weeks blogger hop question is: "who is your all-time favorite book villain?" 
- hmm this is a toughy because I didn't really like any villains, but if I have to choose I'd say the Strigoi or however you spell it from the Vampire Academy books by Richelle Mead.


 


Greets to everyone if you're from Follow Friday. :)This weeks question is:  What embarrassing thing have you done on cold medicine? 
Gosh I can't really recall anything. But I don't think it could have been that embarrassing if I was sick. :(

This weeks Blog Hop Q: 

"Do you ever wish you would have named your blog something different?"

- Yes, I seem to get really bored with it but I'm too lazy to change it so it's going to be "read books have fun" for a while I'm afraid.

 

Hello everyone, I hope that you're all having a fantastic Friday! This weeks question is:

Q. Share your current fav television show! Tell us a bit about it...

 - Right now I have two favorite shows! They're both super awesome and addictive. I'll start off with a show called Nikita. (Thursdays @ 9 EST on The CW)

 

This show is amazing and very original! I've never seen anything like it. The show is very action packed and the main character is a girl who can definitely take care of herself. 

Here is a little summary I found online:

When she was a deeply troubled teenager, Nikita (Maggie Q, "Live Free or Die Hard," "Mission Impossible 3") was rescued from death row by a secret U.S. agency known only as Division, who faked her execution and told her she was being given a second chance to start a new life and serve her country. What they didn't tell her was that she was being trained as a spy and assassin. Throughout her grueling training at Division, Nikita never lost her humanity, even falling in love with a civilian. When her fiancé was murdered, Nikita realized she had been betrayed and her dreams shattered by the only people she thought she could trust, so she did what no one else before her had been able to do: she escaped. Now, after three years in hiding, Nikita is seeking retribution and making it clear to her former bosses that she will stop at nothing to expose and destroy their covert operation.

Hello everyone I hope that you're all having a fantastic weekend! :)
Sorry I haven't been updating lately, I've been applying for scholarships still.... It seems to take me forever to just get the energy to even think about filling them out. But good news I am now on vacation. Hooray! So hopefully I will be able to get things done. Anyways moving on here is my Follow Friday post hosted by Parajunkee.




This weeks question is: 

If you are a fan of Science Fiction what is your favorite book? If you haven't read Science Fiction before...any inkling to? Anything catch your eye?

I would have to say that my favorite sci fi book is Wizards First Rule, by Terry Goodkind. Although I'm not much of a Sci-fi junkie, I was first introduced to this series when I saw the TV adaptation for it. The TV series was called, Legend of the Seeker, I LOVED the TV series! I thought it was fantastic and awesome and amazing. The whole plot was just breath taking. And if you haven't seen it I would suggest it to everyone in the whole wide world! And because I enjoyed the TV series so much I decided to read the book. I thought the book was enjoyable but not as great as the TV series. :( I'm still glad I read it though! 

( I like this cover of the book way more then the original because it shows the characters from the show!)

Here is the synopsis from the book:

In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, appears in Richard Cypher's forest sanctuary seeking help-and more. His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence.

In a dark age when it takes courage to live, and more than mere courage to challenge those who hold dominion, Richard and Kahlan must take up that challenge or become the next victims. Beyond awaits a bewitching land where even the beat of their hearts could betray them. Yet, Richard fears nothing so much as what secrets his sword might reveal about his own soul. Falling in love would destroy them - for reasons Richard can't imagine and Kahlan dare not tell him.

In their darkest hour, hunted relentlessly, tormented by treachery and loss, Kahlan cals upon Richard to reach beyond his sword - to invoke within himself something more noble. Neither knows that the rules of battle have just changed-or that their time has run out.

This is the beginning. One book. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend.

( and here is a cover of the tv show just for kicks!) 

That's all for now, Goodbye everyone!

Fun Fridays!

Hey guys it's finally Friday again! I hope you guys have an enjoyable your weekend. I will be spending this weekend reading all those library books I got last week. (yes I still haven't got them to yet. sorry!!) I've been pretty busy this week with school and applying for scholarships.

But right now I am reading Mostly Good Girls by Leila Sales. I'm still in the beginning stages of this book but it's very good so far. I was a bit surprised because it usually takes me a while to get into the books but this one really takes off. I'll write some more once I finish it.
Have a great weekend guys!
Much Love,
Veronica :)
