Friday Blog Hops

Feature & Follow is hosted by Alison Can Read and Parajunkee

Q: Christmas in July! Someone gives you a gift card for two books (whatever that costs). What two books will you buy?




Recently, I would love to purchase Patrice Kindl's Keeping the Castle and Jeaniene Frost's Once Burned (which I hope to have her sign at the upcoming Author's After Dark book-signing in NOLA).  So, there are my two selections that I've been very interested in reading lately, but haven't gotten around to buying yet. Has anyone had the pleasure if reading these books lately? If yes...I'd be very interested in knowing your opinions?!?

Q: Throwback TGIF: Pick a previous question you posted on your blog in the past & revisit your answer. Has it changed since then?


Samantha Young has surprised me a lot this year with her various Young-Adult/Paranormal stories and I cannot wait to check out what more she has to offer.  So far, I've read The Tale of Lunarmorte and Warriors of Ankh series, but am always eager for more. Her tales are quick to read and quite refreshing - so I've enjoyed them a lot!!

Q: What's the ONE super-hyped book you'll NEVER read?

I actually shy away from the over-hyped book/s since I am not a fan of stories that flood the market and become instant sensations.  For example, I never read and never plan on reading the whole Dan Brown's De Vinici Code book/series. For some reason, I enjoy being the only person who has never read that series and hope to keep it that way! :)

Q: Do you have a 'feel good' read or author that you go to whenever you're sick or feeling down?
Whenever I am in a reading slump or sick in bed, I know I can always revisit Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series, espcially any of the books in regards to the Wode brothers.  They always make me smile/laugh and I KNOW they will be an overall good read...kind of like visiting old friends -- in a "I'm really not crazy/book-obsessed" kind of way ;)

 
Happy Reading/Weekend Everyone!!

  2. Love Kresly and Jeaniene books. I still have not read Once Burned. Any Kresly books would make me feel better any day.

  4. I have Once Burned on my list as well! I almost went with Kresley Cole for my comfort author as well, but I've had a lover love affair with Rachel Gibson she won this time!

    1. You should totally do a Manga Monday meme spin-off ... like Amazing Anime :) I see favorite mangas turned into favorites series.

  7. I agree about the Dan Brown books....no desire to read them.

    That isn't the book I chose to not read, though. :)
