Feature & Follow: The Hypothetical Two-Book Wish List
This Feature & 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 this work? 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 the original 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 want and tell them “hi” in their comments or respond to the question (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. It's a great way to see what other book bloggers are reading now, and how they feel about the weekly question.
Q: Christmas in July! Someone gives you a gift card for two books (whatever that costs). What two books will you buy?
A: Okay, the first book would be the next el Bulli volume. Since I'm a pastry chef, I'm a foodie first and foremost LOL. I have the 1998-2002 hardcover, and would love the 2003-2004 volume. For those unfamiliar to the now-closed restaurant and chef behind it, here is the link to the el Bulli books on Amazon (no affiliate link here, just a search for the books on amazon). Some amazing stuff in those pages.
But then, if these two picks are mysteriously gone from the Amazon catalog by the time I use my hypothetical gift card - I'd just pick two random romances completely by impulse based on the covers to read on my Kindle Fire while the kids are playing in the pool. :)
For the link to Moonflower's discount on Smashwords, the code is at the end of the review. It ends on July 22nd.

The next one would be David Morrell's latest, The Shimmer. I'm a sucker for any of his work and this is a crossover sci-fi/government conspiracy thriller.
