Book Blogger Hop (2) and Friday Follow

The book blogger hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word. This amazingly fun weekly event is hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books! Follow Friday is hosted at Parajunkee's View! Hop on over and join the fun!!

This week's question for the hop is:

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

It really depends on what time of the year it is, but for the most part I only read one book at a time. When I was in school, I would read a fun book while I was trying my best to keep up in my textbooks, as well. But now that I've recently graduated, I don't have that problem anymore! But I do carry multiple books with me just in case I finish one and I need another one to occupy my time. Now that I have a Nook, I have been more likely to be reading more than one book at a time, but there is still just something about having a book in my hand, turning the pages and having that weight in my bag. It's somewhat comforting (don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Nook).



This week's follow questions is:

How did you come up with your blog's name?

Well that is an easy one. One of my absolute favorite bands is Death Cab for Cutie and I was listening to one of their new albums Narrow Stairs. As I was listening to the amazing 8 minute song that is "I will posses your heart", I came across the lyrics: "I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me. It's like a book elegantly bound but in a language that you can't read just yet." How awesome are the lyrics to this song!!!! Death Cab for Cutie have been and always will be musical geniuses. I couldn't do anything less but name my blog after them! It's so great that writing this post has made me want to listen them (swoon).

Hopping by! I also carry a couple of books just in case I finish one. I like to have options! And I definitely agree with you about having a book to hold, turn the pages, and feel the weight of in my hands or my bag!

I know that even when I finally get an eReader, I too will want the heft and feel of a physical book in my hands!

Coming through on the blog hop.

I will read two books only if I am slightly bored with the first one!

Hopping through. New follower! I love Death Cab. And I love all 8 minutes of I Will Possess Your Heart. My other fav songs are Someday You Will Be Loved from Plans and We Looked Like Giants from Translaticism.

My blog name is a combination of the beginning of my e-mail and what the content of my blog is. :)

One-book-at-a-time lady here....

....I don't know how folks do it....I am amazed at how many people read more than one book at at time. :)
