Book Blogger Hop #3

Question: "Tell us about one of your posts from this week and give us a link so we can read it (review or otherwise)!"


It's not a very big post but I think it is an important one, especially if you are into the Science-Fiction genre (both book and movie wise).  It was Jules Verne's birthday on February 8th, author of classic works such as The Time Machine, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Journey to the Center of the Earth he is the king of Science-Fiction and should definitely be celebrated.  You can read my post here.

Have a Happy Friday everyone!!

"We are of the opinion that instead of letting books grow moldy behind an iron grating, far from the vulgar gaze, it is better to let them wear out by being read."
