Feature and Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read and is an opportunity for book bloggers to connect with each other. Today's featured bloggers are Pretty in Fiction and Butterfly-o-Meter.
Question: What is the craziest thing you've ever done to get your hands on a book?
Hmmmm, I'm afraid my answer won't be terribly exciting. I do not like crowds, so I am not one to stand in lines on release nights, or anything. I think the craziest book shopping thing I've done is to go to this local book fair event at this huge private school. It's an annual event, and this is a very well-known and much anticipated event. I decided to go last year by myself. It was so packed that they had to offer a shuttle service from the parking areas to the school. This sale covered 3 stories of the building. By the time I was done, I had 3 huge overflowing bags of books that I had to carry to the "bus stop", load onto this bus, and walk to my car. But, it was pretty awesome!

First, can I just tell you how much I love this layout? Your blog looks so cute.
Second, your story is much crazier than any of mine! I've gone to a couple of midnight releases at a local bookstore. I'd love to rummage through three floors of books, though! :)
Awesome book loot story! It can get crazy in sales, that's true. It's way more exciting then anything I did :D
Thanks for stopping by, following you back.

That sounds awesome! I wish there was an event like that around here. I would go broke for sure. Thanks for visiting my blog! Old Follower!
Hi! Thanks for following me, I'm following you back! I'm jealous! I want to be able to go to a book fair and buy all the books I want. The book fair at my town doesn't have any of the genres I like because it's a book fair for middle schoolers and elementary schoolers. I don't think you'll be finding any paranormal romance books there... ;)
Oh I would love to go to those fair! I would only brave the crowd for books, haha!
Thanks for following my blog, I'm following back!
Natasha @ Dreamland Teenage Fantasy
