I love taking part in features and memes. It brings us book lovers and book bloggers a bit closer together, if only in our shared love of reading great books. So today I discovered something new. 
There is a new feature over at Parajunkee called Confessions of a Bookworm. Here’s the link to this week’s post. And the information about all of this is located at that link.
This week’s question is: How far have you gone for your favorite author?
Well, this week’s question kinda has me stumped. I’ve definitely not gone as far as Anila has – having her favorite author’s books shipped halfway across the world to her. Tough act to follow, girl. 😉
Aside from haunting libraries and their vast “on hold” lists to get out of print books that are still on my library’s shelves (I live in a city where all the libraries in our county are linked so I can “order” books and have more than 20 libraries search their stacks for them – kinda cool actually)
I guess the most thing I’ve done (which isn’t all that impressive) is to get autographed novels from my most favorite author at release automatically. At Turn The Page Bookstore (which is run by Nora Roberts and her husband) there is a subscription service where I automatically purchase the latest Nora books and she autographs them before shipping. Which is very cool. There may be other authors that do that, but she is the one that I am aware of. It means that I don’t have to wait on release date because usually (not always) I get the autographed book in the mail on release day or slightly after… a couple times the day before, not always… depends on the mail 🙂
So mine wasn’t earth shattering this week. 🙂 What’s your story? How far have you gone?
Our library does that too! It’s a great service for sure.
Nothing too crazy here. I’ve driven about 3 hours for a book signing but wasn’t too big of a thing. Easy drive and got to meet some bloggers too 🙂

It is such a help when I’m searching for a novel that I cannot find anywhere.. or I should say I don’t want to buy it, but borrow it. I wish it was state wide, but cannot have everything.
Hey, you got a nice 3 hour trip outta it and met some great folks, so I’d say that qualifies.
Sorry it took so long to answer, Anna – been that kinda week around here.
My library is part of a similar thing, except it’s state-wide. I’m so happy to have that, as my city’s library isn’t that great. Old follower!

Oh my goodness, I wish ours was statewide, but at least county is better than nothing for certain. There are just some older titles that I’m not willing to buy on say eBay for an inflated price because they’re now out of print – when hopefully, a library somewhere has it on the shelves.
Thanks for stopping by.
