Summer Lovin Read-a-thon Day 6 – Bad Boys & Summer Flings

Today is day 6 of the Summer Lovin’ Read-a-thon and we need to tell about our favorite bad boys of fiction – You know, those guys who make you so crazy, but you love them anyway? I have to say that I only like a bad boy who isn’t truly bad (for instance, Daemon really bothered me in Obsidian because he was just a plain jerk – it wasn’t until Onyx that I actually started to like […]

Summer Lovin’ Read-a-thon Day 5 – Goal Progress & Book Title Scramble

Today is day 5 of the Summer Lovin’ Read-a-thon and we’re supposed to be sharing our progress on our goals (which I’ve been doing every day anyway). I’m pretty sure I said on Day 1 that I’m not so good at goal-setting; and sure, enough, I’ve veered off the path I set on Monday. As it turned out, I decided it was more important to read The Copyeditor’s Handbook (since I’m working on my first copyediting job) […]

Today is day 4 of the Summer Lovin’ Read-a-thon and today’s topic is Tears on My Pillow (books that made you cry).

Summer Lovin’ Read-a-thon Day 3 – Favorite Female Character a Page 99 Test

Today is day 3 of the Summer Lovin’ Read-a-thon and today’s topic is My Favorite, Fictional Female Character. These “favorite” questions are always hard for me because I don’t really have many all-time favorites. Instead, my current favorites tend to be from books that I’ve recently read. So, I’m going to go with my favorite female character from a book that I’ve read in the past three months. There were a few contenders; I really loved Quinn […]
