What is Feature and Follow?



F&F is a weekly blog hop that consists of book bloggers. It is hosted byAlison Can Read and Parajunkee. The rules of involvement are simple:
1.) Link up on the blog hop Linky gadget below this post, 2.) follow the hosts via their network of choice, 3.) follow the weekly featured blog(s) via their network of choice (listed as "featured" in the blog list below), and lastly, 4) check out the rest of the blogs on the hop! If you become a new follower of a blog, let them know and they will follow you back.

The F&F is a great way to network, meet other book bloggers, and gain new followers. Even more so, it's a great way to drive fun discussion on a weekly topic.






This week's question:

Which books did you gift for the Holidays?

I don't gift many books. My tastes are different than many others I know and I don't feel like I can pick out something really good for someone unless they specifically say they really want a specific type of book. I also do not have a lot of avid reader friends or family with book wish lists -- or at least no one that I'm close enough with to gift. I do run a Christmas book giveaway which just ended where the person gets to choose a book they want from an online retailer. Other than that, I stick to gifting books to kids since you can't really go wrong there. I have a friend with a 15 month old whom I got a pop-and-count animal book and a collection of classic stories from Little Golden Books.

      They were my favorite too. I love that they're still collectible.

    I'm the only one my age that I know that really reads like I do! My family members, my mom's generation and up, do have readers, but different tastes! Old Bloglovin' follower! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!

      That's a big reason why I started this sight. It was near impossible to talk to anyone about a book I was excited about. But here there are hundreds of people!

      The only time I remember getting books as presents was one Christmas when Harry Potter first came out. I got a box of books and that was in it. After that, my gift usually involved me going to a store to pick things out for my family to buy

    That's my problem too! Either they don't read, or if they do, they like completely different genres. Thanks for visiting!

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...
