Hey Everyone! It’s Friday again, YAY!
I’ve had a pretty crazy week in my personal life and in my blog life as well hehe. For starters I am traveling out of state to go the Book Expo of Brazil next week, along with visiting of of my best friends and my grandma, Im so excited about that =D
I also have so many cool things planned for next week here at the blog, you seriously won’t want to miss it!
Next Wednesday Iam kicking Off my biggest giveaway to date to celebrate 1027 followers! You really won’t want to miss it! =)
Before anything, let me just call your attention to a super cool event that’s going on this weekend ONLINE:
This is an ONLINE conference created by Terry Kate from Romance in The Back seat and the first couple panels were last night.
It is SO much fun and you can learn so much, if you’re an author or blogger…
Some great authors like, Stacia Kane, Ilona Andrews and Laura Bickle will be joining panels and some awesome bloggers too, including your truly =)

Now…
Just to make something clear, Since the Hop has been having over 300 links up, OMG, I just can’t visit them all… So, I will only stop by the new blogs on the hop and on the blogs of those who stop by here =) I still believe that’s fair… no? I do feel guilty about that =/ but I need to focus and do some reading and writing this weekend.
This week I came up with a new Feature that will take turns with Flashback Friday…
I will post 5 pics every other Friday, with the faces hidden and you guys have to guess who are the people in the pictures.
The commenter(s) that gets it right the most will get an extra 10 entries in any giveaway I am hosting. His/Her choice =D
Does that sound cool??

Every week Jen from Crazy-for-Books asks us a question to answer on the Hop, This week’s is:
Do you listen to music when you read? If so, what are your favorite reading tunes?
I LOVE music, but I can’t listen to is when I’m reading, it disturbs my concentration and I can’t get lost in the story that way. However i do listen to it constantly when I’m not reading, specially when i’m working on the blog.
I LOVE pop music, hip hop, R&B, pop rock, Rock… I listen to anything hehe
From Miley Syrus to Katy Perry, from David Gueta to Eminem, from Green Day to Lifehouse and so on…

Hi Larissa! I too love music but not when I'm reading. I like to have all my attention on what I'm reading. Have a great weekend :-)

I always love reading your posts. =)
Have you ever tried listening to music that had no singing/lyrics to it? I love music and I love listening to music while I'm reading, but I get distracted by the actual singing. So, I tried listening to music without singing (ie: classical, movie scores) and found that it's a lot easier to do. I don't know if it'll work for you, just thought I'd put it out there.
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Hey! I'm here from the hop :P. I'm not an official participant yet because I literally started my blog like four days ago, but I like to visit the links. I agree with you, I can't listen to music while reading either, it just distracts me. I love listening to music in general though, though my tastes are quite as varied as yours! Hope you have a great weekend :).
I'm popping in to say that I love silence when I read. Beautiful silence. Although lately I've been on a French music kick....
I've just become a new follower. I'd love to have you stop by my blog, too.

I tried to read Stray but gave up halfway through. It was so flat for me! I didn't like Faythe!
Have a great weekend Larissa!
I just wanted to let you know that I have an award for you here.
Thank you so much for being so sweet to me my first few weeks of blogging. It means a lot to me!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I already follow you! Just hopping by to say hi! =) Have a great weekend!

Hi!!! I'm just stopping by from the hop--I started following you last week!!!--Whenever I see your header, It makes me think of a book I just read, called 13 to Life--and your title makes me think of a cross between "My So-called Life" and "Clarissa Explains It All." :)
I love your contest idea!!! Hope you have a great weekend!!!

Stopping by from parajunkee's Follow Friday! I'm an old follower with a new URL and am trying to rebuild my own followers list after having to redo my entire blog over from scratch (still a work in progress) due to a malicious hacker attack. I'd appreciate any and all new followers and will follow back!
Hugs~
