Hop and Follow Friday! (3)

It's friday! That means it's book blog hopping and following. Personally, it's one of my favorite days for blogging :)

Blog hop is hosted by Crazy For Books and Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee

Question for Blog Hop:
RIGHT THIS INSTANT, WHAT BOOK ARE YOU DYING TO GET YOUR HANDS ON (PAST, PRESENT, OR FUTURE)?

There are so many books I'm dying to get my hands on. I'm going to go with a book that's already out and say Voices of Dragons. It always has a huge waiting list for it at my library and I'm insanely broke so I can't buy it. I've found out lately that I actually really like dragon stories.

Just hopping by. The only dragon story, or story with a a dragon, that I've read is The Hobbit. It was pretty good. I loved the movie How to Train Your Dragon. I thought it was funny. Anywho, happy Friday!

I love getting comments! I'm always checking to see if I have any new comments. It's actually pretty sad how often I check for them really. So if there is anything you want to say about a post of mine, please say it! I want feedback :)

As of lately, I'm making the blog a no-award blog. I love getting them and I'm always honored, but I don't have the time to do all the things that are required of them. Sorry :(
Also, my "reply" button does not seem to be working in my comments on my computer. I have to use a different computer to reply back so if I don't reply, it's not because I'm rude, it's just that I can't.
