Book Blogger Hop #5 and Feature & Follow Friday #4

This is a weekly meme hosted by Jennifer at Crazy For Books. This week's question:

“What is the one ARC you would love to get your hands on right now?”

I'd love to get my hands on Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee

Q.  Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?). ?

I can't really think of a book that completely changed my life because I read so many that impact on me from day to day. But the book that I could read over and over and it will always boost my literary appreciation is Pride and Prejudice. Perhaps it is the strong-willed, stubborn Elizabeth Bennett and the arrogant pompous Mr Darcy who grow and soften in this story which brings me comfort :-)

Feel free to leave your answers in the comments section below and I will return the favour by stopping by your blog too!
