Interesting giveaways... and interesting blogs!?

Happy Friday everyone! In a few hours, the week-end will start :D Woohoo!! Seriously, I can't wait LOL. The workload has been pretty decent recently, but I feel like a machine... Doing the same over and over with a scary efficiency ^_^;

I've just finished The Grimrose Path by Rob Thurman. Great book, but it took me nearly a week to read. I just don't get why Ms Thurman's books always take me time to read ^_^; Anyway, have yet to pick up my next read. Any recommendation?

Okay, enough with the chit-chat :) I've actually wanted to draw your attention to two giveaways taking place right at this moment :)


First, Tabitha from Tabz Book Blog — just another readeraholic... just had her first blogniversary! Woohoo, congrats Tabz!! And as celebration, she's having a giveaway :) Take a look, there's some good books in there :) Of course, you should also take a look at her blog. She hasn't blogged much recently, but I'm hoping that work will slow down and wedding madness will fade eventually and she'll be back with us! :)



Second, Mollie from Book Fare Delights is also having a giveaway :) Different circumstances though. Mollie had the chance of going to Jennifer Crusie's signing and thought of us! She has one signed copy of Maybe This Time to giveaway! How cool is that? I'm still waiting for Maybe This Time to arrive in-store, ugh. However, I'm happy that she enjoyed it :)



I was going to start another post for this, but why not combine them, right? Today's discussion topic is:  
What are you looking for in a blog?

Every once in a while, I go out there in the vast and immense place that is blogland and I look for new blogs to follow. I visit a few, add a few to my sidebars and my feeds and sometimes, me and these new blogs click and other time, we don't. I'm actually very picky when it comes to finding new blogs. I'm looking for blogs which are updated frequently, have a nice design/layout (actually, the most important for me is your post area. I hate it when it's too narrow ^_^; ) and whose owner reply to comments that are left. Then of course, afterward, it comes down the blogger's personality, but that takes time to find out. What about you? What are you looking for?
