QUESTION: Book Vacay: Where is the best destination reading spot for you? (Where do you like to go to read other then your home)

Answer: The beach or by the pool (while on vacation) are the best spots for me to read. The runner up and my most used destination is my car!! I read almost every day during my lunch hour.  I like to escape to my car to get away from my desk and co-workers for a while.

What about you?

Happy Reading,
~Tamara

ACTIVITY: PHOTOBOMB!!!! Photobomb a picture with your favorite book. Share it of course.


This is my first photo bomb EVER! My nephew came over today, and while he was watching TV I totally just put one of my favorite books (Minion, by L.A. Banks) right next to him! I sat down and took the picture and he didn't even notice! ROFL!  The lighting wasn't perfect, but I did what I could!

Minion is the first book in the Vampire Huntress Legend series. It's totally underrated, yet one of the best UF series I've read! 

Happy Reading,

Question: Share your favorite literary quote!

Answer: I like a lot of quotes, yet have no favorite! So instead I decided to post one that I saw recently that caught my eye.

Question: Activity: Spine Poetry. Create a line of poetry with your book spines (take a picture). Not feeling creative? Tell us about your favorite poem.

Answer: This is my first try at book spine poetry. I really had no clue where to start with it. So...excuse me if this one isn't exactly right.  Not to mention, I've never been into poetry. LOL.  I came up with this one because I was just staring at my book shelves wondering where to start and I noted that I seem to have a lot of books about cheating!

Question: Have you broken up with a series? If so which one and why?

Answer: I have broken up with a two series recently.  The Anita Blake series, which I stopped at book 7. And the Beautiful Creatures / Caster Chronicles series, which I stopped at book 2. 

I didn't officially post that I'd given up on them, but you should check out my last review of the books I'd last read in each series. They weren't very favorable.  

With so many awesome books out there, why force yourself to keep reading a series that's just so-so? Nope, I won't do it! Not me!

What series have you broken up with?

Happy Reading,
~Tamara

Question: Happy Mother’s Day! Who is your favorite mom from fiction?

Answer: I'm going to toally veer away from the answer most everyone has.  I had to really think about this. In many of the YA books, the parents aren't really the focus. Since they are always secondary, they seem to blend into the background most times.  Adult and New Adult sometimes have parents, but again, they are far and in between and not the focus. I went with moms from  two series that I really enjoy. One from an YA series and one from an adult series.  Both series are Urban Fantasy... surprise, surprise! LOL
Picture
Jocelyn Fray/Fairchild from the Mortal Instruments series.  She's Clary's mom and also an ex-Shadowhunter. At first I wouldn't think of her as mom of  the year or anything, but as the series progress you can tell that she's all about protecting her family and it comes to be revealed that she went above and beyond to do so. Once Clary knows who and what she is and starts the good fight against evil Jocelyn steps up to the plate when needed.  She's the typical over protective mom, but beyond that Jocelyn evolves as this series progresses, and I like that about her. 

Picture
My second pick is Justine from the Night Huntress series. Justine is Cat's mom. And it's very clear right off that she has serious issues and she seems very mean. But we learn of her past, her struggles and it made me like her a bit more. Then I think around book three, she really starts to make big changes and her character, though still mean and smart mouthy, you can tell that she's transforming. Literally. How she thinks of supernatural beings, vampires and especially and her daughters husband starts to slowly change.  She is another mom who has evolved over the course of the series. I really like her now. She has Cat and Bones back.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! Who are your favorite fictional moms? Please share!

Happy Reading, 
~Tamara

Question: We are about to see a lot of posts & tweets about reader conventions, RT, BEA, ALA and many more are starting soon. Which one would you love to attend? Where and why?

Answer: I attended the RT Convention last year in Chicago and I loved it! It's in Kansas City, MO this year, and sadly I can't attend.

Ultimately, I'd LOVE to to go BEA! To me it's like the mecca of readers conventions. It's the probably largest, busiest, most exciting! I love NYC and I love books, two things that make BEA perfect for me. In addition to all the amazing authors, they also have a Bloggers Conference, which I'd really like to attend.  Now, if only I manage to get there!  I'm crossing my fingers for next year.  

ALA is in Chicago this year, so I'm going to do more research on it. If it looks good to me, I may try attend ALA 2013!

Basically, I want to go to as many conventions as I can manage. What about you?
