**Feature & Follow #19**


Welcome to the Blog Hop! And check out the amazing new button! :)

Feature & Follow is a weekly blog hop hosted by the talented ladies behind AlisonCanRead and Parajunkee's View. The intent of this blog hop is to get out there and meet other bloggers and gain new followers yourself. What sets this blog hop apart is the Feature. Each week, two blogs are featured, one at AlisonCanRead and one at Parajunkee's View. So make sure to hop over to those blogs to check out this week's Features.

 This week's Features are:
Book Sniffers Anonymous
Insightful Minds Reviews
Question of the week: What is the most emotional scene you've ever read in a book - and how did you react?

 Well, I'm not sure I can name just one...I've had some pretty intense reactions to some very emotional scenes...but the two that immediately came to mind were:

 1) The last scene of Range by J.A. Huss...I can't say what happens without being spoiler-y but it was INTENSE and made me pretty emotional. I will say this, I didn't see it coming. Well, partially yes, but the part that made me cry? No!

 2) The last scene of If I Stay by Gayle Forman. I was boohoo-ing when I finished this book! Again, I can't give details without being spoiler-y, but it's a great book!

 **Speaking of J.A. Huss, check out my reviews of her I Am Just Junco series (Clutch, Fledge, Flight, Range, and The Magpie Bridge) and you can also enter a giveaway to win one of her books! She's a fellow FF blog hopper - New Adult Addiction and Clean Teen Reads.**

    Not familiar with those! I don't usually get teary with my books, but I do get the other emotions; anger, happiness, joy...others too that may not be an "emotion", like laughter! There's a wide variety of them!

    Here's my Follow Friday

    Have a GREAT weekend!

    I have a total insensitive heart. I read If I Stayed and I didn't even like it :-(

      Seriously?!? Maybe it was just your mood at the time you read it?? LOL! You're so funny! Like I always say, not every book works for every body. Have you read North of Beautiful by Justina Chen-Headley? I think it's the bomb!

      Well, you MUST read the I Am Just Junco series - it is awesome-tastic! Gayle Forman is fabulous as well.

      Thanks for stopping by!

    I really love being surprised while reading! I think because we read so much it is very hard to do so it takes us by storm and can definitely make us emotional! Thank you so much for stopping by my FF. Old follower :D Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven.

      I love surprises too, Jaclyn. And I agree that reading as much as we do makes it hard on authors...but oh when they accomplish it! Have you read The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer? I closed that book in awe - I never saw it coming! ;) Enjoy your week!

    I haven't read either J.A. Huss or Gayle Forman but they're both authors that are on my radar & that I want to check out :) Thanks for sharing!
