Reader Confession – That time Maryse almost killed Keri Arthur…

By 5 Comments

Okay yeah, this t-shirt is totally apropos, considering this post. 😉
Er… I mean tripped… TRIPPED. eeeeeeep!!!! Still though… almost just as bad, and OMG I’ve been thinking of it as “killed” (tongue-in-cheek, mind you), since that very day. ;)Did I ever tell you about that time, when I almost tripped/killed the VERY popular author named Keri Arthur at an integral moment in her life? I think it’s time I told you. But keep in mind, this happened back in 2009 (when I was BRAND SPANKING NEW to the book world). I’ve kept it a secret for years (and years), and I was mortified.

P.S. I still am. Oh yes. I hope she doesn’t read this, because I’m worried she’s still fuming.

Okay, so… this one time… I went to the MEGA RT Book Lovers Convention and it was my VERY first book signing EVER. I had JUST gotten back into hard core reading because of Twilight, and had JUST started my blog, and it just so happened that RT was in Orlando that year, so close to me and just a few months after I went live with my blog.

It was KISMET! I was meant to become a part of the book world, and here was my chance to meet my very favorites and LEARN LEARN LEARN!!!! read more

Reader Confession – Grey’s a marathon reader and struggles at “the end”…

By 16 Comments

Yep!!!! Totally me too… in fact I added my own confession at the end of this one. 😉

Okay this is an older confession since there’s been TWO more books since Grey has had a meltdown, BUT the series is officially complete now, and I can TOTALLY relate to her heartbreak over the potential “end of a book-world” that I’ve been involved in.

In fact I have a confession that goes along with this one (mine is also for an older series but still SO relevant, and I’ve included it after Grey’s).

Grey admits:

“*pout* I haz a sad… I just finished Fallen Crest University… read more

Reader Confession – Cristina the sneak-reader…

By 6 Comments

Oooooooh I’m tellllllling!!!! Right here. Right now. 😛

Oh my!!!! *blink blink* Cristina’s confession is all sorts of forbidden, but not in our usual way. This is one of those that has so many tempted to do and yet… eek *gasp* Yep.

And yet… I know it’s true, because I’ve heard it time and time again (in fact, I’ve included extras). 😉

Cristina: Ok so confession… I sneak-read at work. I can’t help it. When I have down-time, I need something to fill it and reading via Kindle Cloud reader is my go-to, every single time. It’s my weakness, but I can’t get caught reading on company time. I even have my computer screen angled a certain way to keep people from seeing it so I can have that extra second to close the browser before they head my way. read more

Reader Confession – If you were to write a “book-boyfriend personals ad” what would it say?

By 34 Comments

Tee hee!! Sometimes a girl just knows what she likes.
P.S. Must love “Cookie Monster” pajamas. 🙂

Tonight’s reader confession comes to us… by bev. Well, actually. No. She STARTED it, and then guessed so many of our “personal ads” and was pretty darn spot on.

And then we all jumped in too. AND I KNOW YOU GUYS wanna write an ad, with us, so let’s get our BOOK-BOYFRIEND PERSONALS STARTED!!! 😀

Come to think of it, we don’t have BEV’S personal ad on here. Hmmmm… I think WE need to come up with for HER. 😉

Okay so here’s how it started…

“bev: I keep thinking about if the ladies here made Match.com profiles about what they like in book heroes: read more

Reader Confession – Fabi’s “Book Catnip”… (blurb subjects that will stop her in her tracks!)

By 20 Comments

Why do we love moody heroes? We don’t know, we just DO! 😛 And we love other stuff too. And I apparently had too much catnip in this photo. 😉

Fabi has multiple “book/blurb catnips” (as we all do) and I can definitely relate to her on these (well especially on the jerk-face, moody heroes, but I certainly have been taken away by a time travel or two. 😉 Outlander, anyone?

Fabi: Oh my goodness, I love reading about those broody, standoffish Hs, especially if they have a strong helping of a-hole thrown in. I love to see them tamed (or at least calmed) by the right heroine.

But my catnip? Goodness, I have way too many flavors to list them all. There is one, however, that has stood the test of time. (ha! “time”). read more
