Follow me Friday- Funny Fav Pic


Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me. Feel free to follow through bloglovin, email, or GFC. I'm not picky just happy to have the company.

This weeks question is: 

 This week is an activity: Bookagram: Photograph your fave read in a funny place.

I have to admit that I was so lost as to what type of picture I should take. Yes, I know it was supposed to be funny but I was still at a loss. I asked my wife what I should do and she asked me if I still knew how to tie a noose. Don't judge me I was a weird teen. Anyway she said I should hang my favorite book in homage to Halloween. I decided to take this a step further. 



For this picture I wanted to make sure that I featured my two favorite books, Bone Collector and IT. I have talked about these quite a bit in previous posts so it is only fair to show them here. Here is the explanation for the pictures. Bone Collector is my favorite book and IT is a close second so I am not showing one killing the other, instead I wanted to show the Hardback hanging the Kindle. Everyone has an opinion about which is better, physical books or ebooks.  I love both physical copies and ebooks but if I had my choice I would have walls lined with hardback copies of every book I love. It is a tough decision as to which to choose and usually cost wins out. Still I figured for all of you fellow book lovers, you would get my thoughts here and maybe enjoy a chuckle or two. Both books are my favorite and if the Bone collector was going to actually kill a book it would be one of several books that I can't stand.

One last little picture, I had to include the title page of the Bone Collector. This is the prize of my collection, I have a signed first edition hard cover of this book and I still feel that I hit the jackpot with this one. Deaver has been a wonderful person and every time I write him he makes sure to answer all my questions and write back.  He has given me some wonderful tips to help my writing and I can't thank him enough. Figure I earned a little bragging rights here. 

I look forward to checking all the different Feature Follows this weekend. Hope I was able to make a few chuckle. Leave me comments if you like, I am always happy to have the visitors and talk books.

      Thanks I was really hoping to get some laughs out of this. At times I think I am funnier than I really am so wasn't sure how this was going to go. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

      Thanks for stopping by. Slowly I am trying to get all my hardbacks by Deaver signed. I don't feel right taking a big stack of books to a signing and being one of those people. Deaver has sent me signed book plates in the past so some are signed that way.

      My wife is my sounding board. I have great ideas from time to time but sometimes I don't realize them until my wife nudges me in the right direction. I'm a lucky guy.

      Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting.

    Haha, such a great idea and really did make me smile. Wish I had taken the time to give my post more thought now! New GFC & Bloglovin follower. My FF.

    I've really enjoyed all the Jeffrey Deaver books I've ever read, he's such a great crime writer and it's nice to know that he writes back and gives you advice.

    Thanks, if I can make at least one person smile after reading my blog then I have done my job.

    Deaver is my favorite author and I think his books are amazing. He is also a really great person, it may be a year or so in between emails but he always remembers me and asks how my writing is going. I think it is amazing that he remembers me and responds when it is hard to get feedback from some authors.

    Thanks for stopping by, I will look for your reviews on Deaver's books in the future.

      Thanks I try to keep things interesting. If it wasn't dark when I got home from work I would have taken this outside and hung the noose from a tree. Instead I had to do it inside and not be as cool.

Feel free to follow through bloglovin, email, or GFC. I'm not picky just happy to have the company.   This weeks question is:   What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?  When I was a kid I really liked the Curious George books, but my favorite were the Berenstain Bears books. I loved these, and every time we would go to the book store I had to get a new one. My favorites of this series were:     My Wife and I read The Berenstain Bears' New Baby to my son when his sister was on the way this year. He is 3 a

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri
