Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & Follow! If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers — but you have to know — the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.
The 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 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, to follow our Features and ayou must follow the hosts (Parajunkee & Alison Can Read) as a courtesy. How do you follow someone? Well, if you have a preference, state it in your #FF post. A lot of blogs are transitioning to WordPress in which they do not have the luxury of GFC, so an RSS subscription is appreciated or if you choose an email subscription. If you don’t have GFC please state in your post how you would like to be followed.
This week’s question: Share a random quote from the book you are currently reading.- Suggested by Journey Through Fiction.
I just started Wolf by Wolf and the first line made my heart tighten:
There were five-thousand souls stuffed into the train cars — thick and deep like cattle. The train groaned and bent under their weight; weary from all its many trips.
Wolf by Wolf is set in an alternate history, in 1956, where the Third Reich and Imperial Japan won the war — and the main character, Yael, escaped the death camps. That line there is is your introduction to the book, to Yael. She was experimented on in the camps and now has the power to shapeshift or skinshift, and she wants to kill Hitler.
I am hoping I have better luck with this read than did with my last one!
Follow time! Please follow on bloglovin‘ or instagram.
Wow, great quote! Certainly sounds like an interesting read. I hope you enjoy it! Old follower.
My FF.
Me too! It does bode well for the book!
Oh, wow, this sounds interesting. I love the quote.
My FF post.
Thank you!
Wow, a great quote! It reminds me actually of the current situation with the refugees that come from everywhere to Europe and other save countries by foot, boat and trains…
Yeah, that’s what it made me think of too. And just this past weekend, we heard about the refugees that ran out of air in the truck in Austria? My heart just broke.
I can’t even imagine the tragedy of those times and the plight of innocent people stuffed like cattle in trains. Very poignant quote and the book sounds interesting too

WW2 — everything about every war is heartbreaking. But something about WW2 just always always sticks in my mind. I think too, because media has covered/used it the most as well. I wonder what things will be like in the next 10 years on the movie/TV landscape though.
Great pick! Sounds interesting..

Thanks Kim — the book is good so far!
Oh, Verushka, this is so heart-wrenching….. This sure sounds like a GREAT book, even though it’s bound to be very emotional. I really like that the heroine wants to kill Hitler. it’s too bad this is fiction….. Had it been real, all those precious lives would have been saved…..
GREAT quote! New Bloglovin’ follower. Happy Reading!! : )
It is heartwrenching, and I’m kind of bracing myself for whatelse might come… and yeah, you can’t help but wonder what might have been

It’s actually going really so I am crossing my fingers it continues like this — I was juts dissapointed by a book, so I’m waiting to see if this one lives up to the goodness in the blurb (but I think it might). Followed back too!
