THE FUTURE & FOLLOW IS HOSTED BY TWO HOSTS, PARAJUNKEE OF PARAJUNKEE'S VIEW 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.
HOW DOES THE #FF WORK?
- The goal is to increase blog followers, make friends and have something to post.
- You create your own post using the post prompt.
- You leave your link and thumbnail in the linky list that links back to your post prompt.
- Once you have your post up and linked, visit other posts and tell them hi. The point is to FOLLOW them not just comment.
- If you see a post that just hit it to the moon, or just want to show appreciation to a fellow blogger friend, like their name on the linky list to show some appreciation.
- The person with the most likes gets chosen as the next Feature (you can be chosen every 90 days unless we are in need of features)
- It is required that if you participate that you have to follow the FEATURE. It is a big no-no to participate and ignore the feature. They are the special snowflake in this little blizzard.
- As
a participant it is up to your discretion on how you want people to
follow. Please post RSS, GFC etc if you have a follow of choice.
Specific RULES
- Put your Blog name & URL in the Linky thing. You can also grab the code if you would like to insert it into your posts.
- Grab the button up there and place it in a post, this post is for people to find a place to say “hi” in your comments and that they are now following you.
- If you are using WordPress or another CMS that doesn’t have GFC (Google Friends Connect) state in your posts how you would like to be followedFollow Follow Follow as many as you can, as many as you want, or just follow a few. The whole point is to make new friends and find new blogs. Also, don’t just follow, comment and say hi. Another blogger might not know you are a new follower if you don’t say “HI”

- If someone comments and says they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the Love…and the followers
THE POST prompt:
What are some of your biggest pet peeves with books?
MY ANSWER
Hmm a tough one. I would first admit that the "Second Book Syndrome", or SBS in short, is a horrible occurence. Many books, especially trilogies, have the smae cliche plot. In some of them, the boy or the girl leaves so the main character has to find (insert drums) another love interest!
Few trilogies kept me rooted to the end, like Julie Kagawa's "Immortal Rules", Jodi Meadows's "Newsoul" series, and recently Marie Lu's "Young Elites" series.
Another one is also how the male characters are usually portayed. They are either badass, alpha male or are extremly gorgeous. If you count out the males from Jennifer Armetrout's books, who are untouchable (I dare you to deny it) this also happens.
le sigh....
Why can't the boy/man be sensitive, not so bulky or have the bad-boy attitude?
Lastly I would love to see more diverse heroines. Maybe another skin color, or different origins, that kind of thing.
Now for the Follow Fun!
