QUESTIONS FROM LESLIE:
Most anticipated book coming out?
Well, until three days ago I was so excited for Two Kingdoms to be released. But after devouring it in a few hours, I’m now focusing all my attention into hoping & praying, that Queen Takes Checkmate (the last book in the Their Vampire Queen) is coming soon. And of course, One Apocalypse (the last book in the Dark Side series).
Your favorite book of the year, so far?
Well, I have to agree with Ned Stark on this one. I cannot just choose one book, one series or even, one author. My mind simply doesn’t work like that. But some of my favourite series, that I’ve discovered this year is:
Last book that made you ugly cry?
That would be Just Be You. This gay romance is so hauntingly beautiful. It made me cry and had me feel like, my heart was shattering into a million pieces.
Name two books that you would/do recommend to everyone?
Locked modern spin on the fairy tale Rapunzel, with the added bonus of her having her own hot harem.
Four Psychos absolutely amazing for anyone who enjoy a sassy, snarky, funny and kick-ass female lead.
Show me a picture of your bookshelf!
I cannot do that! We recently moved and due to the seriously old walls, they couldn’t hold my books 😦 so, I need to get one of those standing-shelves-thingy, which IKEA promised to deliver two weeks ago. Needless to say, that my books are all sad and on top of that, they’re still packed in boxes.
Three words to describe what books mean to you.
- They’re
- My
- World
Okay, maybe not meant quite so literally. But it’s hard to describe the things you love, or at least it is for me.
Your favorite book friendship?
The majority of books I read are romance books, so any friendships are usually between main and secondary characters, unless it’s friends-to-lovers. But I think I have to mention again. The friendship between Scott & Marshall is almost as beautiful, as their relationship.
Have you discovered a new author that you loved, this year?
I’ve discovered quite a few:
- Eva Chase
- Joely Sue Burkhart
- C.M. Stunich
- C.M. Owens and her other pen name Kristy Cunning
Bookmarks or dog-ears?
I’m guilty of dog-earing my books even though, I totally think bookmarks are the better option. Lately, most of my reading have been done on my tablet or phone which only leaves the option of bookmarking, so at least they’re safe.
Do you prefer one POV or multiple POV’s?
Multiple POV’s any day. It helps me bond with different characters and, if there’s a chance of anything shady going on, it also makes it easier for me to trust new characters.
Buy books, borrow or both?
One of the reasons I love Kindle Unlimited is so I can read a book for free, and then if I love it, I’ll purchase it later on. However, if it’s a book I don’t really like it’s a great way of reading the book without wasting my hard earned money. So, for me it’s both.

I loved reading your answers. I think I need to add Four Psychos to my TBR list right away!! 🙂 I use the library for books I’m not sure about and if I love them, eventually purchase them. I’m always saying that I will re-read them. Maybe one day 🙂

I’m so glad you enjoyed reading through my answers and, thanks again for the nomination 🙂 I live in a small town where the library kind of sucks, which is why I’m such a huge fan of K.U. If you get around to reading Four Psychos, please let me know what you thought of it 😀

You are welcome! I’m glad you took the time to do it! I totally understand that. I used to live in a town where the library was horrible and I had to wait 6-9 months for a book to come off hold for me! Now, I’m lucky and live in a huge city with a huge library. I will 🙂

Small town charm should be extended to their library. It sucks when you have to wait that long.

That’s me! Thanks, I’ll do it this week 😀 hope you get shelves soon… nobody wants sad books! Also… (pedant alert!) that’s not Ned Stark. Well, it is but it’s not. It’s Boromir in LotR… one does not simply walk into Mordor…
Ever noticed Sean Bean’s character dies in pretty much ALL his movies?!?

Haha yeah I know it’s Boromir, but I never liked him. So, I decided to name drop Ned Stark instead as they don’t look too different 😛 I remember all the meme’s that was floating around when the films was released “one does not simply …..” 😀 Aye, that guy is famous for dying lol.
