Weekly Blog Hop II



Follow Friday is hosted over at Parajunkee's blog!


This week's question is: 

Who are You the Boy/Girl, instead of You the Blogger?


Well I'm Caitlin, I'm 21 and I'm in my final Semester of University in Liverpool. I study philosophy and I'm writing my dissertation on Kierkegaard, who was a Danish philosopher, sometimes referred to as the father of existentialism. I only started my blog about 3 weeks ago and I'm loving it! It's a great, almost productive way to procrastinate. I've found ALOT of new books through reading others blog's, which is why I started doing it in the first place-so that's great. Aside from reading I enjoy cookery shows (especially Masterchef) Criminal Minds and Grey's Anatomy. I've also recently gotten into Pretty Little Liars which I ADORE. I don't have any pets here at uni, but at home we have 4 cats and a puppy. I'm not sure what I want to do with my life yet, but when I figure it out, I'll let you know ;)

Book Blogger Hop

The weekly blog hop is hosted by Jennifer over at Crazy for Books and this week's question is: 

"If I gave you £50 ($80) right now and sent you into a bookshop, what would be in your basket?"

Okay, well I'm gonna work on the premise that a paperback is £6.99 as I think that's the average RRP and a hardback is 12.99, again cause I think that's the average RRP.

I'd get:

Haven by Kristi Cook (hardback)
Once a Witch Carolyn Macullough (paperback)
The Iron Thorn by Caitlin Kittredge (hardback)
The Balefire Omnibus by Cate Tiernan)
Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey (paperback)

Okay, that comes too £46.95

If the shop had a promotion on...so one or more of the books was sliiiightly cheaper (sometimes they do hardbacks for £9.99 or less) or there was a 3 for 2 (usually is in Waterstones) I'd also get:

The Return: Midnight (The Vampire Diaries) by L.J Smith (paperback)

Yay so there we go! I wish someone really would give me £50 now =[ 

If you're hopping by, make sure to leave your own link so I can visit you back! And if you follow me, I will follow back, like I said I'm a new blogger so I love checking out people's blogs.

    I read Once a Witch which I really liked and was lucky enough to be able to read Always A Witch (it was really good). I love Caitlin Kittredge's book and i'm excite to read Iron Thorn once I get around to actually buying it. I have a cousin who goes to the University in Liverpool.

    Have A Great Weekend :)

    Thanks for stopping by my blog, I'm a new follower too - as well as a new book blogger myself! Us newbies need to stick together! lol

    I see you have a review for Hex Hall, I haven't read that yet but it looks interesting by the cover and title. I think my TBR list is going to be bursting by the end of today, I just keep on adding books to it!

    Can't wait to get to know you!

    Wow! What a great question this week. I always peek at other people's book piles at the checkout link at B&N. That doesn't make me a voyeur, does it?

    The exhibitionist in me has posted my own bookstore shopping list -- and it's not as predictable as you may think!

    Hop on over to my blog for all the suspense and chills of my TBR list - http://www.howardsherman.net

    Happy Hop Friday!

    Hopping through. I'm impressed by your dissertation. I've heard of Kierkegaard but haven't studied him. I didn't realize he was associated with existentialism. I studied that a little in high school and college, so maybe I learned about Kierkegaard after all :-)

    Hey Cait!
    Just hopping by - I'm a bit late, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to see what people would like to get and to add new books to my TBR list.

    All the books you mentioned are alrealy on my wishlist, so if I found any of them in that bookstore, I'd buy them.:D

    Happy Sunday!
