Follow Friday #37 / TGIF #29

Feature and Follow Friday is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.

Question: Summer Reading - What was your favorite book that you were REQUIRED to read when you were in school?
Answer: Easy. Where the Red Fern Grows. That book made me cry so hard but it was really amazing. This book made me want to read more, it was the beginning of my passion for reading.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TGIF at GReads is a Friday Feature hosted by Ginger at GReadsBooks.com! The point of TGIF is to re-cap on this week’s posts and answer the question of the week!


This Week's Recap:

Question: Christmas in July - If Santa were to come down your chimney in the middle of summer, which books would you want him to leave for you under the tree?
Answer: There are a few books I have been dying to read but just don't want to spend the money on yet.

Across the Universe
Shadow and Bone
This is Not a Test
The Selection
City of Lost Souls
Tiger Lily
Lies Beneath
Clockwork Angel
Everneath

  2. Lies Beneath seems to keep popping up everywhere... I'm not sure where I fall on reading about mermaids and stuff, but I think I could give it a try. I'll be looking to see what you think of it!

    1. Yeah, there are a lot of books mentioned that my school never had me read either. Wish they did though.

  6. I never read Where the Red Fern Grows, mostly because it just sounded depressing, haha.

  29. I think this is only my third Follow Friday blog stop and the second time I've seen Where the Red Fern Grows. And I haven't read it! My husband (who is NOT a reader) actually recommended that one to me as it was one of his favorites. I'll get around to it eventually!
