**Feature & Follow ~ #32 ~ Where I'm Featured!**


Happy Friday and welcome to the Blog Hop! 

 This week's special for me. Why? Because I'm one of the Features!! *does happy dance*

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:
Primrose Musings
Bookworm Brandee (me :)

 This week we have an activity - a bookshelf tour! 
So, I feel the need to qualify this tour before I get started...ahem, my name is Brandee and I'm a bookworm, a book addict...a full-on bibliomaniac! Okay, now that's out of the way...
Welcome to my library!





Enjoy my accent?!? Ugh!

    OMG I love that you have some genres separate. I wish I had enough shelves to do that. I just have paperbakcs, hardcovers and unreads. Congrats on your feature! New GFC follower :)

      *jumping up and down* I'm a bit excited myself! :) I'm glad you like my library...I'm quite proud of it myself...except for all those TBR'd books! *grin* See my, uhum, little problem with one-clicking extends to physical books too! LOL

      Have a great weekend, Traci!

    Okay Bran, that is a serious library! Now I know why you picked that house! I am very jealous. Some day we will have lunch up there instead of in town, and I will get to see it in person. :) Miss you!

    Hopping through. Congrats on being featured. I don't think you have much of an accent. You do sound a little like my half sister though - she mostly grew up in Oklahoma City and then Dallas. I come from a long line of Okies who have very thick accents - although I've never lived there myself.

    Congrats on being a featured blogger this week! I absolutely LOVE your organization on your shelves and the way you have some covers facing out and some binding facing out and then grouped by genre. It seriously looks like a book store (which I know you said you work at one). It's fabulous for this OCD girl! (However my OCD'ness hasn't spread to my own books as you'll see in my videos).
