Feature and Follow Friday #5: I must have that book!

 

Feature & Follow Friday is a weekly social blog hop between book bloggers. There are two hosts: Parajunkee and Alison of Alison Can Read. If you want to join in, click on either of their blogs to get the details. The FF question of the day is:

Q: What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done to get your hands on any particular book?

While I had the swine flu a couple years back, I was pretty much incapacitated. I was in bed for over two weeks, and I didn't have anyone to run errands for me. While running a high fever, I drove about 10 minutes to the bookstore to get my hands on a bunch of Sookie Stackhouse books. I had just started the series, and I needed something fun to read while I was stuck in bed cursing fate. But I was really out of it, and pretty sick, so I shouldn't have been driving. What can I say? I needed my Sookie fix. I would definitely recommend the series as excellent illness reading. They're quick, engrossing reads that don't tax your brain!

That's my fairly mild anecdote. Hopefully there will be some juicy stories about extreme measures taken to get ARCs out there, or the equivalent, as I read around the book blogs!
