Feature and Follow #1 (Are you a book hoarder?)

-
Increase Blog FollowersThe Book Cove is part of a Blog Hop that was organized by the wonderful Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. So please, check out their sites and follow them :-)

What is a Blog Hop? It is a great way for bloggers to connect! Bloggers can enter their site information to a Blog Hop form where they are then added to a list. Then each blogger goes through the list and follows whomever they want!

How can you get involved? The deadline for the current one is coming to a close - but there are always more going on! Joining Linky is a great way to discover other Hops.

What do you need to do? The key to a hop is to follow each other and allow our blogs to reach a broader community. So in common blogger-courtesy, please follow-back those that follow you.

My Blog Lovin' and Networked Blogs follow links, specifically, are icons 2 and 3 at the top of the page (hover over for descriptions of each) Linky is in side bar - Choose your poison ;-)

Blog Hop blog question: What do you do with books once you are done with them?

I have a TON of books...unfortunately I don't have a ton of space. So they currently sit in my closet and take up about as much room as my clothes... I love most of the books that I buy in hard-copy form. So it's hard for me to want to get rid of them! Because I never know when I will want to read them again or share them with somebody. However, when I have the chance and the mind-set to purge, I donate them to local schools and the library. The great thing about eReaders is that I can hoard books all I want and no one can judge me ;-)

    I'm out of room for my books too and I just got 4 more tonight! I keep telling my husband that we need more bookshelves, but he wants me to find ones that match our decor, which is proving impossible. /sigh

      I just keep collecting them because I figure the can go in my massive in-house library that I'm sure I'll have...in another lifetime ;-)

    I think the only judgement of people with "too many books" is that they are interesting people. I have the same trouble - only mine are all out on shelves. My blog: BlogTheEclectic.blogspot.com

    So true about ebooks! My husband bought me a second bookshelf a few months ago to store the books that were stacked on every surface of our house, and now that one is overflowing, too. But I'm the one he comes to when he needs a new book to read. He's a huge reader, too, and I feel lucky we share a love for books. :) Even though he complains about the amount of books I buy. I still buy physical books even though he bought me a Kindle a couple years ago. I can't help it - some of them are so pretty they just need to go on my shelf, lol.

    Thanks for stopping by my FF, and I'm following back by Bloglovin' and Google+. :D

    ebooks have saved my marriage. Well, no not really but without them I'm sure I'd be featured on an episode of Hoarding!

    Thanks for stopping by my FF. Followed you back.

      Haha, the downfall of eBooks is that it is SOO much easier for me to spend way too much money on books

    Your so right, although I love physical books, ebooks allow you to hoard as many as you want without judgment!

    If it is the books that I love I will never get rid of them but will for sure keep them for life. If it is the books that I don't like then I will just give them away since I cannot even stand the sight of them. Anyway thanks for stopping by and I follow back via bloglovin =)

Author Khaled Talib discusses development of his newest thriller "Gun Kiss"

Today we're welcoming author Khaled Talib to The Book Cove. He's the author of three novels -- the most recent titled Gun Kiss  was published December 2017 and has received rave reviews. TBC: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you from?  KT: I was born and raised in Singapore. I've been writing since I was a kid. Although I did attain some recognition, I never realized my full potential until much later. My little voice, once lost, kept pressing me on. To date, I've authored three novels. I am self-taught, never once having the opportunity to attend a workshop or a school to learn the craft. Along the route, I experienced agony and ecstasy. I ended up being a magazine writer before switching to the field of public relations. It also involved some form of writing though different from fiction. I find myself more interested in writing fiction as it allows my imagination to thrive in more ways than one. It's like baking a cake, you know; there are many...

I'm a little late on my FF post this week as I've been in and out of town and busy with work. Actually...I'm procrastinating on writing a paper right now with this post ;-) What is a Feature and Follow? (Courtesy of Parajunkee): The goal is to increase blog followers and make friends. First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools — keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them “hi” in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you! What sets this Hop apart from others, is our Feature. Each week we will showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Who is our Feature today? Find out below. Just remember it is required, if you participate...
