Q: What is one thing you wish you could tell your favorite author?

Ok so she may not be my favorite writer, I'm not even sure I have 1 favorite. I love alot of authors and alot of books! But for the sake of the question, I would have to thank Stephanie Meyer...I know I know but really. I always loved to read, but I got into a huge few year slump where I was only reading the 2 new V.C. Andrews releases that would come out in a year. While on facebook looking through the bumperstickers app I saw all these stickers for Twilight and I <3 Edward and such and I just had to know what it was all about, so I read Twilight and I was hooked, I devoured the rest of the series and went on a binge trying to find anything with vampires, were wolves and anything else that might go bump in the night. It sparked me to start really reading again. So thank you Stephanie Meyer for being exactly what I needed at the time to find my love of reading again! 

What would you ask?!?

Literary Vacations: If you could take a trip this summer to any place within a fictional book, where would you go? Tell us about your summer dream vacation!

I would love nothing more than to spend a summer in Avalon with Laurell and Tamani from the Wings series by Aprilynn Pike. I loved it so much reading about her time there and I would love to just walk around and see the amazing sites and markets and maybe even attend school. Maybe while I am there I will grow a blossom and they would let me stay hehe. 

Where would you go?!?

Q: Fight! Fight! If you could have two fictional characters battle it out (preferably from books), who would they be and who do you think would win?

Hmmm, this is a tough one! I think I would like to see Rose from Vampire Academy, go head to head with Alex from the Covenant series! I'm not sure who would win, they both have similar training and have been doing it most of their lives. It seems like an even match and I would just love to see who would come out on top.

Book Blogger Influences: Has there been a particular book blogger who's influenced what you read? Share with us a review/book blog that convinced you to pick up a certain book.

There have been a few that have influenced me in joining the Book Blogging Community, in what books I sometimes choose to read, and who have inspired me to try to make my blog better and better.

1. Lori @ Pure Imagination -  Hers was one of the very first book blogs I had ever read. We happened to be in the same Shelfari group and I read a few posts about her blog and checked it out and I was dazzled. It took me some time from that point to get into book blogging but at that time I knew I wanted to do it.

2. Angela @ Reading Angel - We were also in the same Shelfari group and it wasn't uncommon to see us either reading the same book at the same time or one right after the other. Usually when Angela says she LOVES a book I know that I should pick it up because the chances are very high that I will too.

Candace @ Candace's Book Blog - Another Shelfari group member who happened to post about her blog a few times and it was her that gave me the push I needed to really start blogging. I always loved hearing about their blogs and one day I said ok I have to try this.

If it wasn't for the 3 lady's listed above I probably wouldn't be blogging today. I would be missing out on meeting some awesome people and hearing about some great books. I enjoy being apart of the community although I am a bit shy and haven't really gotten to know many of you as well as I would like to. But I sincerely thank these 3 lady's because without them I would be apart of this wonderful community at all.
