Book Blogger Hop: What book series do you never want to see end?

Book Blogger Hop
This week's question: 

What book series do you never want to see end?


My answer:

That is an easy question - The River of Time series by Lisa T. Bergren! I absolutely love it! The Patrick Bowers Files by Steven James is another series that I don't want to see end - it is so good! :)

There is my answer, what is yours? Please share in a comment below.

Book Blogger Hop: When a book goes “viral” (Hunger Games, Fifty Shades, Twilight), do you rush out to read it like everyone else, even if it’s not in your typical genre?

Book Blogger Hop
This week's question: 

When a book goes “viral” (Hunger Games, Fifty Shades, Twilight), do you rush out to read it like everyone else, even if it’s not in your typical genre?


My answer:

I don't just read a book because it is really popular - it also has to sound interesting. I try to watch what I read and don't read that many mainstream books.

I did read The Hunger Games series because a fellow blogging friend recommended it (and I did enjoy it). The only other books I've recently read that may be considered "viral" were Divergent and Insurgent by Veronica Roth.  :)

Even in the Christian genre, I haven't read some of the "viral" books (i.e. The Shack, Heaven is for Real) and won't because they don't sound like good books (in my opinion).

So, in answer to this question, no, I don't normally rush out to read a "viral" book. :)

Book Blogger Hop: What’s the ONE super-hyped book you’ll NEVER read?

Book Blogger Hop
This week's question: 

What’s the ONE super-hyped book you’ll NEVER read?


My answer:

There are actually two books/series that come to mind: Fifty Shades of Gray by E.L. James and The Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer (I am NOT a vampire fan). While normally I don't like to say I'll never read a certain book (because you never know how you might feel later), I'm sure those are two I will never read.

Book Blogger Hop! Who is your favorite book character?

Book Blogger Hop

This week's question is:

Who is your favorite book character? I’ll give you a maximum of two choices, but they have to be from different genres!

My answer:

I only need one! Luca Forelli from Lisa T. Bergren's River of Time series (SO EXCITED about Tributary - releasing later this year!!!)

He is SO funny!! If you haven't read the series, but are a fan of YA, you NEED to read it! Seriously it is FANTASTIC!!

Here is a quote from Bourne that I love!

“M’lady,” he said intently, water dripping down over his face too. He leaned down, and for a second, I thought he was going to kiss me. But instead, he touched his forehead to mine. “Dare I believe that you have feelings for me?” he whispered, his lips tantalizingly close.

Which kinda freaked me out.

“You are free to believe what you wish,” I whispered back with a teasing smile, edging away. “There is no law against such things.” I turned back toward the door, intending to go in, but he held it shut, hovering close. Deliciously close again. Teasing me.

“Evangelia,” he said, his lips practically on my ear, his breath tickling my neck. “How long shall you torment me so?”

“That remains to be seen,” I said, smiling up at him from the corner of my eyes.

“Ahh, how you wound me! Such…is the excruciating…pain,” he gasped, pantomiming injury, “of unrequited love.” He stumbled back a step.

Book Blogger Hop: 10/14-10/17

Book Blogger Hop


Book Blogger Hop is a weekly event hosted by crazy-for-books.com

This weeks question is - “What is your favorite spooky book (i.e. mystery/suspense, thriller, ghost story, etc.)?”


My answer: My favorite genre to read is suspense/mystery/thriller, so this is sort of tough for me to answer; however, I think two of my favorite "spooky" books are:


Comes a HorsemanSkinSkin by Ted Dekker - I've read/listened to this book about 3+ times! It's one of my favorites by Ted Dekker!


Comes A Horseman by Robert Liparulo - Just thinking about this book, I want to reread it so it's fresh in my mind. This is definitely a creepy/spooky book - I really enjoyed it though.



I would love to hear your thoughts on this weekend's question. Please leave a comment. I'm currently hosting THREE fabulous giveaways (you can enter here, here, and here), so go enter while you can!

As an additional challenge, find your favorite one of EACH of the categories above and spotlight all 4 (interview, guest post, review, article).”

My answer: I found it difficult to choose my favorites (there are so many to choose from), but here are a couple that I enjoyed:

Book Blogger Hop: 9/9-9/12

Book Blogger Hop

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly event hosted by crazy-for-books.com

This weeks question is - “Many of us primarily read one genre of books, with others sprinkled in. If authors stopped writing that genre, what genre would you start reading? Or would you give up reading completely if you couldn’t read that genre anymore?”

My answer: My favorite genre to read is suspense! I would hate it if I couldn't read that genre anymore, but I also enjoy romance, historical, and pretty much all genres that are clean. I don't think I would ever give up reading! I love it too much!


I would love to hear your thoughts on this weekend's question. Please leave a comment.

This weeks question is:


What are you most looking forward to this fall/autumn season – A particular book release? Halloween? The leaves changing color? Cooler temperatures? A vacation? (If your next season is other than fall/autumn, tell us about it and what you are most looking forward to in your part of the world!)


My answer: 


It's sad to see summer come to an end, but I love snow and I'm anticipating winter. There are a lot of things that I look forward to when summer ends - I'll just mention two. Hockey season starts (Yea! I love watching NHL games) and I can hardly wait for the release of Karen Kingsbury's book 'Longing' in November!

This weeks question is - What’s the ONE GENRE that you wish you could get into, but just can’t?
