{ ++ } Each week, Rachel features one lucky blogger and her feature is We Fancy Books. Alison's is A Novella's Tale. Everyone please head on over to those blogs, follow, and show them some love! It's a huge honor (I think!) to be featured.
Q. Name 3 authors that you would love to sit down and spend an hour or a meal with just talking about either their books or get advice on writing from?{ ++ } Just 3, huh? Okay, let's see if I can do this! Well #1 hands down is Jodi Picoult. At the end of the day, she is my favorite female author. Her stories are SO undeniably real, and I admire her to no end. #2 is Pat Rothfuss. He's my favorite sci-fi/fantasy author, and in some ways, probably my favorite male author. #3 is probably J.K. Rowling. With the Harry Potter franchise coming to an end of sorts, it's made me remember my Potter love, and it's all because of the awesome Jo Rowling. : ) I'd love to pick those three author's brains, and just trade writing stories with each of them.
{ ++ } Hosted by Jennifer at Crazy-for-Books, what better way to allow us book bloggers to mix and mingle than a bit of a reading-related social? Every week she hosts this event, where we can throw our names in the hat so to speak, and hopefully end up with a few new friends who share our interests and our love (and in my case, obsession) of books. It's also a party and it's all in fun!
What’s the ONE GENRE that you wish you could get into, but just can’t?
{ ++ } Mystery novels. It's not that I haven't read and enjoyed a few really awesome mystery novels. They just aren't my cup of tea. I like a book with some mystery TO it, just not a straight up "who did it" novel. I read pretty much everything else voraciously.
