The question of the week is:


"Let's step away from besties...What is the worst book that you've ever read and actually finished?"


This is actually an easy question.  I don't even know how I actually finished it, I guess I couldn't wrap my brain around the fact that Anne Rice had done such a bad job in my opinion.  But the choice for me is "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" by A.N. Roquelaure (a.k.a. Anne Rice)

"What keeps you reading beyond the first few pages of a book, and what makes you want to stop reading a book and put it back on the shelf?"

Our answer:  It really takes a lot for me to give up on a book.  Either the characters have to be beyond irritating or the storyline boring to the point that I would rather pull my nails out!  Even so, I can probably think of a handful of books I haven't finished, even if it takes me a while.

The question of the week is:


"ACK! Your favorite book/movie character (example Hermione Granger played by the Emma chick) just walked into the room! Who is it and what would be your first reaction? You get extra points if you include visual stimulation."


This question is best answered by the following video from Season 2 of True Blood.  Yes!  I pick Eric/Alexander Skarsgard for this, and I would do.... WHAT SHE DID!  BITE ME!!!!!

“When did you realize reading was your passion and a truly important part of your life?”

Our answer:  I've always read at one point or another, and gone through times where I read a lot and then stopped, and read a lot of different genres and books.  However I started back up, and haven't looked back, 3 years ago.  From then on it has truly become an important part of my daily life.  I couldn't picture a day without reading now!

The question of the week is:


Q. In light of the Summer Solstice. Also known as Midsummer...let's talk about fairies. What is your favorite fairy tale or story that revolves around the fae?

To be honest, I don't read many fae stories because they don't hold my interest as much as stories with werewolves and vampires. But Maggie Stiefvater's Books of Faerie series with Lament and Ballad were really great YA fae books. Also, Richelle Mead's Dark Swan series are good too!

“How many books are currently in your To-Be-Read (TBR) Pile?”

Our answer:  Do we really have to say??? *Looks from side to side* My TBR pile is sitting at a whopping 1,900 books.  BUT in my defense, that's EVERY book I've ever considered that I want to read (including short stories and upcoming releases).  Is that really bad?  LOL  And if you meant what I have NOW that I need to read.... That's definitely in the 100s.

The question of the week is:

"Genre Wars! What's your favorite genre and which book in that genre made it your favorite?"

I read a lot of different things and my favorites have changed throughout the years, but for a while now it has been PARANORMAL ROMANCE.  And the nail in that coffin was The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward.  I was completely sold on the books, the characters, the story, the world, yes, even her special words.

The question of the week is:

"The magic book fairy pops out of your cereal box and says "you and your favorite character (from a book of course) can switch places!" Who are you going to switch with?"

Do we have to pick just one!?!?!?!  Argghhhhh That's such a difficult question to answer.  Because I'm excited about the last book coming out this month, I want to switch places with Annika from the ACRO series by Sydney Croft because she's badass, can shock people (and I mean electrical shocks not awe!), and she has CREED!!!!  And, yes, this is the Kiss of Snow week, it's still fresh in my mind, so I'm definitely switching places with Sienna just so I can get a piece of Hawke!  He won't even want to switch back!! ;)

The question of the week is:

"What are you doing to prepare for an upcoming zombie apocalypse and/or the return of Mel Gibson to the silver screen? (Both of which could be terrifying.)"

Ha!  I think I would be scared of the return of Mel Gibson to the silver screen!!!  He's embarrassed himself enough as it, give it a rest!  Even though I used to love him (way back in the day, you know Braveheart, What Women Want). There's no preparation for that... just hope for the best?

The zombies on the other hand.... Since I don't necessarily like to read zombie books or watch zombie movies I will have no material to reference for my protection!!!  How do you kill one anyway?  Yeah, I better start doing some research and some training.  Kickboxing anyone?

"Do you buy or swap books online, if so whats your favorite place?"

I don't usually use swap sites, although I've started listing some of the books I don't want to keep anymore on the GoodReads swap section.  However, I do buy books online.  It's my preferred method of shopping for books!  The "real books" I buy are usually from Amazon.  I buy on occassion Kindle books as I have an app in my tablet to read them.  I also use Diesel Ebooks, Books on Board, and Fictionwise for ebooks and Audible and sometimes iTunes for audiobooks.  And does anyone know of a swap site for Canada or UK???
