Question of the Week: Do you listen to music while writing reviews or do you need quiet? 

I usually always have music on when I'm writing my reviews. Sometimes it is out of necessity because my hubby is a gamer and his Play Station is in the same room as our computer. 
So, he is constantly talking to whoever he is playing online.(drives me crazy!!!)  So, normally, 
I'm listening to music to drown him out!! LOL  My choice has lately been Maroon 5's Overexposed CD.  I have some mad crazy love for Adam Levine!!! ;) (not in the creepy stalkerish way though!!) LOL 

 

Now it's your turn!!

Question of the Week: 
Has a book ever left you feeling depressed? If so, make sure to share what it was and why?

The answer is a HUGE YESSSSSS!! 

I usually am pretty careful of the books that I choose to read because I need a HEA in my books!!! This is the entire reason that I read!! Don't get me wrong I love the tortured hero and I love the whole boy meets girl they fall in love break up fall back in love then HEA!!!  


I love Marie Force's books and style of writing as this is the type of story she does best!! That is what made it so much worse for me. The book is Marking Time by Marie Force and it was the way she left the characters of Reed and Kate that depressed me.  


I was totally depressed for weeks after reading this book!!! I even went so far as to BEG her to write more for them and to please give them their HEA and put me out of my misery!!!  What she did to them still depresses me thinking about it right now!!! LOL 


This also leads to the reason that I read the epilogue or ending chapters of some books first!! LOL :)
  “Marking Time” continues the story begun in “Treading Water” as Clare Harrington begins a new life. She’s considered a miracle, but everything that’s happened since she recovered from a three-year coma has been something less than miraculous. Now left to grapple with the aftermath of a selfless decision, she is home from the hospital and trying to figure out what the next chapter in her miraculous recovery has in store for her. 


Meanwhile, her eighteen-year-old daughter Kate, a talented singer and songwriter, sets out to pursue her musical dreams in Nashville. Her parents have agreed to allow Kate to spend a year there, but they couldn't have anticipated Kate falling in love with a much older man. Her newly divorced parents are forced back together to confront their wayward daughter. Spanning from Newport, Rhode Island, to Nashville, Tennessee, to Stowe, Vermont, "Marking Time" is the story of new beginnings and new loves. 

Now it's your turn!

Question of the Week: 


Have you ever snuck a peek at the end of a book before reading it?


LOL...I have quite often actually!! Because I love HEA, I sometimes read the epilogue or the last chapter before I even start the book!!! This way I'm prepared for whatever happens, especially if it is a book in a series!! ;)


Now it's your turn!!

Question of the week:

Have you read a romance or erotic novel with an M/M or F/F relationship in it? If so, did you enjoy the read? And if you haven't, is that something you would read in the future? 


This is a tough one for me.  I'm not sure how comfortable I am with reading strictly M/M and F/F books yet.  I'm pretty new to this genre and have only read a couple M/M and no F/F books.
I have liked the M/M books that I've read, but felt like there was something missing. Maybe it's just that I have not been exposed to the right M/M books.
For me I think it depends on who the author is and the way the characters and story are written. 
Mostly I am exposed to this genre through the menage romances that I love to read.  Some of them have M/M along with M/F/M. I have loved these books and most of them are written by my favorite authors!!  I will say this, If the books do have M/M, I like my M's more on the HOT, SEXY ALPHA side instead of the other version.  A perfect example is Todd and Ben from Lauren Dane's Laid Bare, they love each other and they also love Erin, the relationship revolves around all three.  Dane has written some of the HOTTEST, SEXIEST sex scenes between the three of them and Todd and Ben alone. 

For right now I think I will stick with my M/M only when there is a F in the middle. LOL ;) 
For those of you who do read M/M; Do you have any suggestions??  What are some of your favorites??

Question of the week:
Doing something a bit different this week...I would like you all to turn to page 60 of your current read (Even novella's should have at least 60 pages, true.) And share the third to last sentence on that page! Make sure to share the title and author as well. :)

Question of the Week:
Do you ever dream about the books you've read?

Definitely!!  That is the joy of reading for me, to escape into another place or time and lose myself in the characters and the story.  There are so many authors who are very good at telling a story, that the people, places and events that happen stick with you long after the book is finished!!  I especially like it when I dream of an alternate ending or replace myself with the heroine. LOL  ;)    I dream a lot about an alternate ending for Marking Time by Marie Force.  It didn't end the way I wanted for two of the characters. ( I am still hoping that she redeems herself and writes a follow-up story for them. (**cough-cough R&K**). 

Usually I dream about the book I am reading or have just finished. I don't know what that says about me, considering most of the books I read are by Lauren Dane, Maya Banks, Sophie Oak, Heather Rainier, etc... hehe!! 


Now it's your turn, do you dream about the books that you read?
