Feature and Friday Follow

 

If you are new to the #FF fun, Feature & Follow Friday is a blog hop that expands your blog following by a joint effort between bloggers. Feature & Follow Friday is now hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!

 

Our Feature – Books Are Vital

Who is Melannie?

She loves hot and spicy food, 80′s movies and dinosaurs.
She actually decided to apply for med school and got in. She’s about to start her third year there and has never been happier. When naive strangers ask Melannie how is it possible that she has time to read FOR PLEASURE while also being in Med School, she always answers with the same sentence: BOOKS ARE VITAL. You can’t go on everyday without them, so you better find time for them. So if you ever happen to see her in person, don’t be scared of the huge purpuish bags under her blood-shot eyes, she probably comes from an all-night date…
with her 1000-something pages med books.

Q: When you’ve read a book, what do you do with it? (Keep it, give it away, donate it, sell it, swap it..?)

It depends. If it is part of a series I already have, I definitely keep it. If I loved it, I keep it. All others, I swap on Paperbackswap.com. That way, I get more books I love and need to keep. Every now and then I go through my TBR or books I've read and decide if they are keepers or not, and if not - post them on PBS to get more credits... PBS is also where I get the majority of my books.

  3. I keep books that are part of a series I'm reading too. Sometimes I'll go back and read the whole series over again!
