TGIF (7) and Feature and Follow Friday (13)

TGIF... is a weekly meme hosted by GReads to re-cap the week's posts and to propose a question for followers.

Q. When You're Not Reading: What occupies your time when your nose isn't stuck in a book?

Well, when I'm not saving the world from reading non-read worthy books as BookNerd Girl, you can usually find me a) working b) catching up on my many tv shows or c) annoying my baby sister as much as possible *teeheehee*Honestly, I live a pretty boring life...I know, I know that's hard to believe considering how fantabulous and awesome I seem *insert all your groans and eyerolls here*. I'm not a very social person, mostly because I don't really like "real" people. I prefer spending time with fictional characters, but hey, who doesn't *shrugs*. So, reading and reviewing does take up a considerable amount of my time. I'm also a huge TV junkie! Seriously, the amount of shows I DVR and watch on a weekly basis is beyond ridiculous. I spend a great deal of time watching/analyzing/promoting/obsessing over the show Supernatural *squees*. And occassionally I do venture out into the "real world" *the sun, it burns!* and go shopping, to concerts, or to the movies.

Feature and Follow Friday... is a blog hop, hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read, that allows book bloggers to discover and connect with other book bloggers.

Today's featured blogs are:Books & Beyond  AND  The Book Addict

Question: It's Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. so we want to know what you are Thankful for - blogging related of course! Who has helped you out along the way? What books are you thankful for reading?

I've only been blogging for a few months, so I'm still pretty much a noob, but I am so so so very thankful for the ENTIRE blogging community. So many wonderful bloggers and readers have helped me, encouraged me, made blogging fun, and have made me feel right at "home" here on the blogosphere. So I want to thank EVERY blogger, follower, author, and reader who has stopped by my blog, commented, talked books with me, or has just been plain awesome!I have few special bloggy shoutouts:
