Hello and welcome all to the first Futuristic Friday hosted by Traveling With T and Katie from Doing Dewey. I’m pretty excited to unveil this new jointly hosted feature (and I hope you are excited to read and see what it is all about!)
What is Futuristic Friday?
Back in 2013, I was thinking about starting a new feature. I toyed around with the idea of a Throwback Thursday- but was unsure that I could maintain that on a semi-regular basis. I also wanted a partner- someone I could trust to help me with the feature, someone who could be a good bloggy person to chat with, perhaps someone who was the yang to my yin. I started thinking about all the bloggy people I interact with and Katie kept popping in my head- she’s got a broad reading taste, I knew her from She Reads, and I enjoyed talking with her. And days later, Futuristic Friday was born!

Traveling With T 
Some great picks ladies! Company Man sounds really interesting and I added it to my non-fiction TBR, which is slowly growing.
So glad you thought there was some great picks AND that you added a book to the non-fiction pile. I adore Katie’s picks. Many I have not heard of- but that is what I like- discovering new books 🙂
Yay! I’m so glad we are doing this!
Is it just me, or does the cover of The Maid, the Wife, and the Mistress look the same as Careless People? I am looking forward to reading In the Blood!
Yes! Very similar. I didn’t notice till you mentioned it, though.
I really want to read IN THE BLOOD. I’ve never read anything by Lisa Unger- but I’m def looking forward to this.
Thanks for stopping by!
Love this!!! I picked up Erika Robuck’s newest one so I can’t wait to read it!
