<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So now you may be asking, What is this <i>something. And I am going to tell you. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Right now. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>One person knows this something but I am telling the world so that maybe, it'll give me that feeling that I have to finish it. Or maybe I'll tell the world and then regret it twenty minutes later! </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Who knows! </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But, this something, the big reveal! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">is that I, Alexis KaeLynn Johnson, am writing a NEW book. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>This is so interesting Alexis, tell us more. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">so happy your all so interested ;) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you follow my twitter and actually read my non-sense tweets, then you MAY know that I have started writing A LOT of books in the past and never finish them because </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A) I get new ideas </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">B) I end up hating it </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">or<br />C) I completely forget about it and when I go to write it again . . . I forgot where I wanted things to go. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then I yell at myself for not taking notes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But anyways I have started writing a new book, I have no title yet because I'm barely two chapters in! But I got the idea while on vacation! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(Yes Katie, it's the one I told you about on my way home *winks*) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also, don't have much of a synopsis because . . . well, I completely destroyed my original beginning and EVERYTHING is changing. But I kind of like what I did. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But I also hate it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What is this book about Alexis? </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This book is about a girl who is troubled (I know, like a lot of other YA books) but no, this isn't an average YA book . . . I think. And I have no idea what I'll do with it afterwards, it's just for me to have. Until I decide to do something with it. If I do. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But anyways, it is Contemporary. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and is about a girl who runs away from home, and meets someone on the way (someone's I should say) and they help her. Even though she tries running away from them too. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I don't want to say a lot about it because honestly I don't know much more than that myself. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But, I am going to try to finish it in the next couple months. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I will probably never share this book with anyone, I am self-conscious and believe there is something wrong with EVERYTHING I do. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What is the Main Characters name? </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">finally a question I like! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well, I normally do really weird names. Seriously, I actually named one of my characters 'fire' . . . yes. Fire. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But my Main Characters name is </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dannie short for Danielle. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I decided with Dannie because . . . I liked that it was kind of her way of rebelling against her name . . . in a way. She doesn't like anything about her mom, reason why? her mother is a drug-addict. So in the first chapter, (spoiler) Dannie runs away XD. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then meets this guy, but he also is gone by chapter two. and at the moment that's really all I have written. I have a bit of what I want written down, and I know how I want it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Knowing me though, by tonight all of what I planned will be different.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Really, none of this is big news. But I just wanted to put it out there that, I am writing a novel and it is going . . . good, for now. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you have questions about it, I'd gladly answer. I am kind of on a huge hype about it but really scared to talk about it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, </span></div>

Hi! *waves*<br />
<br />
I'm Denise and I blog at <a href="http://iamshelfless.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">I am Shelfless</a>. When I was starting my blog, naming it was the hardest part for me because most of the titles I have listed down was taken or if not, it just didn't feel right. A few hours passed, I still got nothing. Then, I <i>looked for a new angle </i>(Thank you, Tadashi!) so I ended up staring at the plastic storage boxes containing my books and thought "I'm running out of boxes; I wish I had a shelf where I can put the books". Shelf. No shelf. <i>Shelffff</i>. Shelf-less? So there. Tada! I named my blog <i>I am Shelfless</i>.<br />
<br />
I met Alexis during a Twitter chat which was hosted by Elise Kova. I tweeted Elise that I'd cry if I see her then, Alexis tweeted me saying that she would cry too and we'll cry together (I'M WAITING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN). Alexis is so sweet, kind and she has always been there to answer my questions about blogging and other stuff. I'm so honored to be guest posting for you. <3</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, I will be listing down books that served as baby steps for me towards being an avid reader I am today!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>The Secret of Cacklefur Castle</i> by Geronimo Stilton</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cDkAVfkc1fY/Vv9Rt4J61eI/AAAAAAAABZA/naqT0VBk9TIqgn-_HRztOe0qfkeCIlSJQ/s1600/93738.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cDkAVfkc1fY/Vv9Rt4J61eI/AAAAAAAABZA/naqT0VBk9TIqgn-_HRztOe0qfkeCIlSJQ/s200/93738.jpg" width="125" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I read a Geronimo Stilton book from the school library when I was a little kid and I liked it -- the illustrations and the tiny little details that design the words in the book! My favorite was any Geronimo Stilton book as long as Creepella von Cacklefur was there. I have this odd fascination with Creepella that just won't go away. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It also became my dream as a kid to buy the complete collection of Geronimo Stilton's books, but there are soooo many books and I think they are still publishing new adventures of Geronimo Stilton. <i>The Secrets of Cacklefur Castle</i> is the only Geronimo Stilton book I owned.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>The Host</i> by Stephenie Meyer</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JNmqD6wFFM8/Vv9SEHLLGbI/AAAAAAAABZE/dSuswgmsGl4Mw5ET4HSHcRPt8X6OFEuLA/s1600/1656001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JNmqD6wFFM8/Vv9SEHLLGbI/AAAAAAAABZE/dSuswgmsGl4Mw5ET4HSHcRPt8X6OFEuLA/s200/1656001.jpg" width="128" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My sister lend me her copy of <i>The Host</i> by Stephenie Meyer and it took me <u>3 years</u> to read the book. I am NOT joking. After my Geronimo Stilton era, my world became more on teddy bears and other cute stuff. No books. None. Nada.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One day I decided to pick this book up and read. I finished this book within a day and I loved it so much it hurt and what was shocking was I didn't do anything else, but read. I mean, no chores? That was really <i>really</i> shocking. It turns out that my mom saw me reading and thought that she won't disturb me so that after I read it, perhaps I would be more inclined towards books for a change. Look where I am now? Today, she lectures me for placing my books everywhere, that I keep on buying books and keep on talking about books, etc. haha!</div>

<b><i>The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel</i> series by Michael Scott</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Oeq81azkhZQ/Vv9STYM-BYI/AAAAAAAABZM/DB3x0oaWIxci3U5ihz0s67px9Uoj6_9wg/s1600/17402605-horz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Oeq81azkhZQ/Vv9STYM-BYI/AAAAAAAABZM/DB3x0oaWIxci3U5ihz0s67px9Uoj6_9wg/s640/17402605-horz.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After <i>The Host</i>, I have been reading a lot. <i>The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel</i> was my first series and one of the firsts books that I have owned. Scathach and Aoife were my favorite characters! I had no words for Scathach on <i>The Death of Joan of Arc</i>. She was THE badass character to Celaena Sardothien today. Confession: My mother wouldn't let me buy all the books in this series. She said I can only buy one. I was so sad, but guess who bought the five books (since Enchantress wasn't released yet that time) for me? My older brother. Who knew my puppy eyes and sad looks would work? Even I didn't know it would work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's all! Thank you for reading and thank YOU again, Alexis, for having me here! <3</div>

I hope you guys would come and visit me at <a href="http://iamshelfless.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">I am Shelfless</a>. I'm looking forward to chatting with you!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Thank you Sabrina for doing a guest post here on my
blog! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hope you enjoy this everyone! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, introducing, Sabrina from<a href="http://omgbooksandmorebooks.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> OMG
Books and More Books!</a> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hey guys! I am guest posting for Alexis today. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My name is Sabrina (Sab) and I want to be 3 things in life;
programmer, blogger, and writer. So far I'm getting my degree in Computer
Science, programmer done. Second I have this blog, blogger done. My final
accomplishment that I have yet to complete is writer, writer not done. It's a
tug of war to write but it's a slow process that I'm enjoying.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some other interesting things about is that I love reading
while listening to music. I just feel the story a lot more when I listen to
music. When I listen to a particular album it will remind me of a book. For
example, I was reading the Splintered Series while listening to Blurry Face by
Twenty One Pilots in March and surprisingly I found some similarities in themes
between the two. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now I will talk about my favorite series (the important
part) and hopefully persuade you guys to check out these series. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1) Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p><img height="317" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/de/The_covers_of_the_six_Vampire_Academy_books.jpg/604px-The_covers_of_the_six_Vampire_Academy_books.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rose Hathaway is a kickass heroine that we all need to
admire. Dimitri Belkov is soooo swoon worthy. The story and morals of this
series is wicked. The character and plotting development from Vaampire Academy
through Last Sacrifice is freaking astonishing. Each character grows and learns
from mistakes and are human. I say that they are human because they understand
their mistakes, Rose definitely does. This series is absolutely a wild ride.
This will be the first series I plan to reread. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2) Under the Never Sky Series by Veronica Rossi<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<img src="https://glitterbloodedwords.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/tumblr_inline_mxnvuvwjb61qderbh.jpg?w=388&h=194" /><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This series is the definition of star crossed lovers. Aria
and Perry came from two completely different worlds. Aria is cast out of her
world and must fight for her survival in the unpredictable world that Perry
calls home. She goes from a frail girl to a warrior queen. This whole series is
about struggle and survival, not much about romance but the romance is
important. It also has one of the most satisfying endings that I constantly
wonder what Aria and Perry would be doing now. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3) Splintered Series by AG Howard<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<img src="http://ficklelit.weebly.com/uploads/4/7/9/7/47973403/6852601.jpg?681" height="198" width="400" /><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love anything Alice and Wonderland related. The Splintered
Series is my favorite Wonderland retelling ever. There are so many Wonderland
elements that are true to the Splintered Series and this still makes me so
happy. This is the only series that has made me honestly cry just even thinking
about that ending. When I first read that ending I cried for sooo long. But if
you want a beautiful and elegant retelling of Wonderland, this is your series.
I must mention that Morpheus is a wonderful aspect of this novel. ;) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4) Blood of Eden Series by Julie Kagawa<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<img height="208" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/b5/31/61/b53161cb3d85f42da4b542fa9359986f.jpg" width="400" /><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This book really made me think. It made me think what it
means to be human, what it means to be <i>alive</i>. I really loved how
the writing was dangerous in the since that there was non stop action. It's a
thrill ride from the beginning to the end. Allie's journey from human to
vampire was eye opening. She is a warrior with a sword who will defend
everything she believes in. Also the cliff hangers will leave you questioning
everything.<o:p></o:p></div>

Don’t get me wrong: I love giving people recommendations. The only problem is that I can’t think under pressure. I’m sure I am not the only person who has this problem. In my post, I’m going to be giving you eight book/series to introduce people into the world of Young Adult reading. (Technically some of these books are middle grade. Forgive me.)</span></span></div>

All of Rick Riordan’s books are so jovial and wonderful. The stories are told in a way where it feels like you are being told a funny story around a campfire. They are great for all ages. (Despite PJO being middle grade, you can be any age to read them!)</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello Luvs! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">today I am doing something I've been wanting to do for a while now, and that is a Discussion post, as you can tell from the title above . . . </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And just a little warning before I start this rant/discussion thing, these are just my opinions. So you can have your own thoughts and if they are completely different than mine, that's awesome! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But, don't hate me for my thoughts on everything <3 </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">also, I'd LOVE to see what you all have to say about this, so in the comments below tell me your thoughts or! you can even do a discussion post about it on your blog and tag me on twitter so I can read it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyways, the topic today is INDIE AUTHORs. I've been wanting to post about this for a while . . . </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and I'm finally doing it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Okay, let's dive in! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First off, I think that Indie Author's are truly underestimated. Some people (no one particular) don't like indie authors because, well, they aren't officially published authors. They are either author's who COULDN'T get a book deal or author's who just wanted control themselves (plus the countless other reasons but I don't know them all). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To me, If Indie authors come to me asking me to read their book. I would check out their synopsis on goodreads and ask my friend and have her tell them no if I don't want to. Because I am the biggest sucker and would probably say yes to the worst sounding book in the world *looks at the non-fiction section*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">*shudders* I hate non-fiction. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think all Indie authors should be given a chance, and that some people shouldn't hate on Self-publishing authors as much as they do. But it's really their opinion, and maybe they did give them a chance once but they got one of the 'not so great' books. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You know what Indie author's are? background characters in a book. A few people notice them, but most just focus on the main characters (AKA, big named authors). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I know of a few Self Published authors who are amazing people and am currently reading a book of one. Self pub authors are pretty cool, and even though you MAY end up reading one of the bad self pub'd books, they all aren't perfect. But neither are the ones that do get published, not everyone is going to like a certain book. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But, hey, </span><br />
<img src="https://31.media.tumblr.com/83d7887ef8d842b89701f1d592250968/tumblr_naivpay7lq1qfoj4do1_400.gif" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here's a tip about something I experienced a little while back, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If an author emails you and says something along the lines of reviewing their book, if it's the first time. You're gonna flip. If your like me, you'd be so excited. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">AND YOU SHOULD BE! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">but before you go replying with "OMG YES! I'll read it!" or however you'll reply, look at the friggin' Synopsis! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I made that mistake my first first time, I was just so excited I didn't even look to see what the novel was about until AFTER I read it . . . you'll regret it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sadly, I didn't enjoy the book. I'm not going to name the book or author, but a couple people I know should know what book I'm talking about.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But now, I actually have a friend who I am gonna make say no if I don't want to read their book. Because I can't say no to people, it's really weird but I have a problem saying no. I will if it's something bad but generally, I am a sucker. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Some indie authors, I will say, have bad attitudes. Some are rude or don't interact with fans or just think they are better than everyone. Luckily I haven't met any rude authors. I mean, there are a few I could name that I won't but still you get my point ;) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next thing, tons of readers put indie authors down for having bad grammar errors, I am totally the opposite because I understand that NO ONE can write perfectly. You find me that person so I can give them a sticker. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All authors (even published authors) make grammar mistakes. THE BEST OF THE BEST MAKE MISTAKES, it's only human people! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">so, if you read a book and it says "Hello, Bob, how ar you?" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I won't be like, "oh! hate the book! look that word is wrong so I automatically hate this book" I couldn't do it. Because it's seriously the smallest thing to be upset about. I'd understand if it was the whole book where every single word is wrong, but seriously normally it is just a few words. I mean, come on people, you write a book and then have it not HAVE ONE grammar error.<br />Most of my posts on here have errors, and I'm to lazy to fix them, but they do! this post probably has some type of spelling error! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also understand that some indie/self published author's aren't as PROFESSIONAL. But there are also a lot of Indies that are really professional and super kind. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are so many things I could say about indie authors, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">but I am going to end it here before I start talking about book boyfriends . . . </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, in the comments I want to know your thoughts! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">please comment on what you think, and what should my next discussion be about? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">new releases? how to's on blogging? certain genres? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "ravie";"><span style="font-size: x-large;">HAPPY READING, LUVs</span> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><b>Release day:</b> TODAY! (3-11-16) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><b>Author:</b> Esther Dalseno</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><b>Synopsis:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">A lonely farm boy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">A girl with swallow’s wings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">An ancient city buried in a volcano.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">A mystery old as blood and bone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">There is more to Gabriel than the life he’s ashamed of – the son of peasant winemakers, bullied relentlessly on account of his disabled mother. For Gabriel has a secret: the elaborate dream world he descends into at night – a grandiose, vivid existence – is becoming more real than his waking life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Everything changes for Gabriel when he rescues a wounded creature – a miraculous girl with swallow’s wings – from the voracious pursuit of Alfio Gallo, a dangerous old enemy. Aided by the beautiful and mysterious Orlando Khan, Gabriel is conflicted by unanswered questions: who is the Dark One that dwells in the medieval tunnels beneath their city? Is he just a figment of Gabriel’s powerful imagination? And is the foundling really who she says she is?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Wrestling with manhood whilst beckoned by ancient rites and foreign lands, Gabriel is about to make a deadly decision that changes the course of life as he knows it…as long as he can decide which reality he’s in.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i><u><br /></u></i></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Question 1- What made you want to write Gabriel and the Swallows? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Esther- It was an idea that came to me rather suddenly. It had been about a year since I had completed DROWN, and after a disastrous holiday to a particular island. I was on a cross-country bus and kind of not speaking to the person I was traveling with. There were miles and miles of banana plantations out of the window and nothing else to look at, so I imagined a little girl with wings just dropping into them...and the first chapter was born. When I arrived at my destination, I hurriedly wrote the first 3 chapters in about a day. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<b style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Question 2- When you visited Orvieto, did any of the people inspire certain characters? </b><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Esther- Well, there was a man called Signore Montanucci who is the owner and proprietor of a very famous bakery/restaurant that appears in the book. He told me many fascinating histories of Orvieto and some local gossip, and a bit about his childhood. I based the character of Gabriel on a particular glimpse of himself as a boy that he showed me. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Question 3- How much research did you do for GATS? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Esther- A lot. Like, a lot. Lots of reading, lots of talking, lots of listening, lots of traveling...and a ton of eating!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Question 4- How long did it take to write Gabriel and the Swallows? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Esther-About four months. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>However, that was just the time it took to sit down and begin typing. In reality, after all the travel and research and planning etc, it took quite a long time. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Question 5- When you were writing GATS did you hit any huge writers blocks? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Esther- I did. I had a three year writer's block. Remember those first three chapters I mentioned? I actually didn't touch the book again until three years later. I knew I wanted to write it, but it took me that long to get serious about it, stop my hectic schedule, set the time to travel to Italy and research, and then just get on with it. In those three years, it really was an epic writer's block. I did not write a single thing. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Question 6- In your opinion who was your least favorite character to write about? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Esther- Volatile! </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Because Volatile is very much a made-up creature, unlike Gabriel and Orlando - oh, and Blanca, Celso, Mariko, and Darlo. Who seem to be very real, breathing people, writing a mysterious, winged girl did not go smoothly and wasn't easy. I was also very cautious to write her in a particular way - there is a very big shock coming to the readers about Volatile. and I needed to be very cryptic about her, making sure the audience only sees her in a certain light. The big shock will be revealed in the sequel. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Question 7- Are you currently working on anything? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Esther- I am currently writing the sequel to Gabriel, it's called ORLANDO AND THE SPIRITS. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Question 8- I know you worked with Oftomes for GATS, was GATS already finished before you started working with Oftomes? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Yes. I completed GATS in 2012. Almost four years ago. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Question 9- Do you have to travel a lot for your books? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Esther- I don't have to, but I like to, if it is required. I travel a lot anyways, which is the nature of my work for the past decade or so, so it comes easier to me as I'm always moving from country to country to live and work. However, my next books don't require much travel as they are based in worlds that I have created, or countries I already have a history with. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Question 10- What was your least favorite part of the writing process?</b></span><br />
Esther- Finding the time to write. I'm a very busy person, and all the books I've previously written were done when I was single and free. I have a family now, which you can imagine, takes up enormous amounts of time I used to use to write. I am hoping for some time soon, I have a manuscript due very soon!<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am extremely excited about ORLANDO AND The SPIRITS . . . hopefully I can sneak some more information from Esther . . . ? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But anyways, I really hope you all have enjoyed this interview! I feel like now that I have done three interviews with her (two for two different releases) that I now have to continue this like a tradition. So Esther be ready for me to ask you more questions when ORLANDO AND THE SPIRITS comes out! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All the questions I'll have to come up with! (you may get some repeated questions . . .) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<b><u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">REVIEW </span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Well, first off! I enjoy this novel a lot! I loved Joel and Maggie and even Maggie's Best friend. And also the little bundle of cuteness, AKA Joel's brother, Pippin. But, I'll get into characters in a moment! right now I just want to point out the MAJOR things I loved about this novel. It was a very unusual good read. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What I mean by unusual is, the way they were said to be witches. Mostly in books set in today's time, the 'witch' or 'witches' are like everyone else. No one knows. That's what happened here but it was more or less people KNOWING they are witches just not going to go up to them and be like "your a witch! we must burn you on a stake!" I would have probably cried if they did that. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Am I making sense? </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>I really hope so. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>anyways, the people say they are witches but aren't really positive. But most books, the witch is an everyday human. Who isn't like the aunt and may have cooked that rat? am I correct on that? she cooked the rat? </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>I have actually read two books after Blackheath so my mind is a little jumbled, so if I forget a name or two. Don't hate me. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>The best best best part that I simply adored had to probably be the part at the carnival when Joel goes to drive Maggie to his house . . . and he 'borrows' a car. It isn't the fact that he took the car, but what was said! </b></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">"Maybe I'll tell them <i>you</i> kidnapped <i>me,</i>" Joel retorted as he familiarized himself with the dashboard. </b></span></div>

Just picture them getting pulled over, Joel up front and the police at the window. He rolls it down, points to Maggie and says "she kidnapped me" all innocently.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have a rule that I HAVE to finish a book no matter how horrible it is. So I ALWAYS finish the book, even if I can't stand it (which oddly hasn't happened yet). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">but the book that I didn't like that I use pretty much for every question like this is IF I STAY by Gayle Forman. It's been a little while now since I've read it but I remember me not liking it because the flashbacks it was really confusing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Synopsis- </i>Bullied through high school, seventeen-year-old Justice St.
Michaels is grateful for the help of her best friend Moira O’Fhey. Their only
wish is to graduate high school, leave the sleepy town of Fallingbrook and all
that happened behind them. The Heavens have other plans. Between growths on her
back and being involved in explosive school fights, nothing seems to make
sense. When an unexpected encounter with Darien Raventhorn causes worlds to
collide it exposes the truth about Justice's real identity. To avenge a family
death, Justice must embrace her birthright, and slay a demon before all Hell
breaks loose.</span></div>

If you made it to the bottom of this post, I'm happy it wasn't intimidating! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
And if you could, could you comment below if you like how I did the Monthly Wrap up this month? It's a bit different and while it is more difficult to get together, in my opinion, it looks a lot nicer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I'd just like to hear your thoughts! Thank you!<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 1- What’s your New Year’s Resolution?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Jade- <span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">Gosh.. This year I want to accomplish so many things!!! But let’s keep this simple and say that I’d like to read 100 books or more as a Goodreads challenge and gain 1,000 or more on IG.</span><br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" /><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">(And I’d obviously love to spend more time on my blog editing, reviewing, and interviewing.)</span></span><br />
<br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" />
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 2- What is your TBR for January?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">Jade- My TBR for January is:</span><br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" /><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">After the Woods by Kim Savage</span><br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" /><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">The Gifted by Matthew Dickerson</span><br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: whtie;" /><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">Shattered Blue by Lauren Bird Horowitz</span><br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" /><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">Passenger by Alexandra Bracken</span></span><br />
<br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" />
<br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" />
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 3- What inspires you the most when you write a blog post?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Jade- Oh that is a great question!! It might sound weird but I just get this sudden burst of joy and excitement when I finish the last page of my current read. And from then on I immediately have this extreme urge to spread the word on how I felt about the entire book I had just read. I feel that when I click the button “New Post” at the top right hand corner of my blog, that I just finally get the chance to be in my own little world, where I get to discuss and talk about the pros and cons of the novel. I love everything about a new blog post. Especially when I get to interview friends and authors.</span></span><br />
<br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" />
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 4- What was the hardest things about writing your latest blog post?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Jade- Man… these are some tough questions! The latest post I have on my blog is my January TBR. Which is basically myself talking about what books I plan to read for the month of January and some of my New Year’s Resolutions. But the hardest thing about my post was talking about my New Years Resolution, because it was complicated to think about the things I’d like to achieve and work on for this year. And talking about them was harder than I thought.</span></span><br />
<br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" />
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 5- What’s your favorite quote?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">Jade- My favorite quote is "Anyone can betray anyone” by Victoria Aveyard. From the book Red Queen. I read it last year and from then on it’s always been stuck in my head. It’s not only simple but it means a lot to me, because it’s completely true. Anyone can betray anyone, especially when your blinded with the love you have towards that person. I have learned my lesson when it has come to that. So Victoria’s quote will always stay true to me.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 6- Where do you see yourself in 5 years</span><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">Jade- That’s hard to say because everything is constantly changing, not just in my life either. Everyday is a new day, for opportunities that could open new doors. But I know that in the next 5 years I’d love to become a martial arts instructor, go to college and work towards my masters degree in Fine Arts, or towards becoming a professional reviewer. Or even all three? Who says I can’t be all three right? For all I know I might veer off in another direction, like becoming a tattoo artist or owning my own business.</span><br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" /><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">Nothing is set in stone yet, but what is set in stone is that I know that wherever I go and whatever I do, I want to be happy doing it. And my advice to myself and anyone else is to always “ Do what you like, like what you do”.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 7- Where are you from?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Jade- I was born and raised in California, where I currently live. I live super close to the coast line so I get to experience hearing the waves, and sinking my toes in the sand. You can always find me at a local Starbucks drinking an iced latte, or walking barefoot at the beach with a sketch pad in my hands.</span></span><br />
<br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" />
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 8- If you could interview an author this year who would it be?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">Jade- Do I have to choose one? I guess the one author at the top of my list would be Leigh Bardugo. I absolutely love her writing style and the beautiful yet dark world that she creates. I got the awesome opportunity to meet her last year! And it was so outstanding to here her talk so passionately about writing, and her journey creating the Grisha world. Leigh is so intelligent, I was so blown away with all of the information I learned from her in just a short time span. It would be a dream come true to sit down with her, have some coffee, and just talk endlessly about writing.</span><br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" /><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">But I cannot forget about other authors like Kim Savage,Romina Russel,Rick Yancey,Brent Weeks,Alexandra Bracken,Susan Dennard… and many more.</span></span><br />
<br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" />
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 9- What are a few books you want to read this year (2016)?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">Jade- A few books that I’d love to read for 2016 is</span><br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" /><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">Dark Souls by Martina McAtee</span><br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" /><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">Lady Midnight </span><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">by Cassandra Clare</span><br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" /><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas</span><br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" /><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">Heartless by Marissa Meyer</span><br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" /><span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;">And Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo.</span></span><br />
<br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" />
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 10- What genre do you like to read the most?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Jade- I love to read YA fantasy, But I’d love to get into Historical Fiction/ Fantasy too!</span></span><br />
<br style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;" />
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 11- What’s one thing your really looking forward to?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: verydarkpink; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Jade- I’m just overall looking forward to this year and what it will bring to the table! I can’t wait to meet some amazing people this year, and accomplish the goals I’ve set aside for myself. It’s going to be exciting!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 1- What is your new years resolution? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Linda- I don't have one. I've never understood the point of making a promise at the beginning of the year. If I want to change something about myself I do so immediately. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 2- Are you working on anything new for January? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Linda- Since I released my debut novel, A Raven's Touch, I'm currently working on the sequel. I don't have a name for it yet, but it's going to be a mixture of YA/Horror/Paranormal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 3- What inspires you most when you write? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Linda- I can't really point to on specific thing. I get inspired by many every day occurrences. Perhaps walking down the street I hear a bit of someone's conversation, or a friend says something to me a certain way, maybe I hear a song, it's just endless really. While I'm physically writing I really enjoy a certain song list that gets me prepared for scenes. The song "Possum Kingdom" by the Toadies really </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">fueled me while writing <i>A Raven's Touch</i>. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 4- What was the hardest thing about writing your latest book? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Linda- Sometimes listening to the Beta readers was rather tough. Some of them said things that made me re-write large portions. Not just once, or twice, but three times. I honestly thought I was going to have some kind of minor breakdown at one point. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 5- What's you favorite quote? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Linda- </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My favorite book quote is "Curiouser and curiouser!" </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">-Lewis Carrol, Alice In Wonderland</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My favorite inspirational quote is from Steve Martin, "Be so good they can't ignore you." It really speaks to me on a personal level. I want my work to come to light because the people decided it was good, not because a million dollar publishing house told them what to like. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 6- Where do you see yourself in 5 years? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Linda- Writing even more. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 7- Where are you from? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Linda- I'm from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 8- If you could work with ANY author this year, who would you want it to be? </span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Linda- Stephen King. He is one of my idols and his work gives me goosebumps. </span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 9- What are a few books you want to read this year (2016) or What genre do you like to read most? </span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(Author can choose either question -- freebie) </span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Linda- Mainly, I do read paranormal fiction, but I tend to stray to horror and the bizarre. I'm going to definitely pick up some Haruki Murakami, the man is just out there and I really enjoy that. I've read all of Philip K. Dick, of whom I also love. </span></span><br />

What is your new year’s resolution?</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><b>Sabrina-</b> I
had a very long time to think about this, and I think I have come to a
conclusion that I have two; one for my blog and one for my personal reading. My
new year’s resolution for my blog would be to actively try to post more than
just twice a week. I think it’s good to be consistent and by posting more maybe
I will get more views and followers. My new year’s resolution for reading would
have to be getting all my review books read. I have quite a pile and there’s
always more being added.</span></div>

What was the hardest thing about writing you latest blog post?</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><b>Sabrina-</b> The
last post I wrote was a review for a book. I believe the hardest thing was
translating all my emotions and thoughts into coherent sentences. Also making
sure I didn’t leave any of my comments out.</span></div>

What's your favorite quote?</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><b>Sabrina-</b> I
am going to go with one of my all-time favourite quotes that I have loved for a
long time. I believe it speaks the truth in so many ways you look at it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to

<b><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 6-
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><b>Sabrina-</b> This
question for me is probably one of the toughest ones I have had to answer. I
know that I have ideas as to what I would still like to be doing in 5 years,
but I have no exact clue with where I would exactly see myself. I hope to still
be blogging and actively writing reviews. I also hope to have some clue or idea
as to what I would like as a permanent career. Maybe something to do with
books? That would be awesome. I also hope to have met some of book blogging
friends in person. SO that will have to be my answer, since I am still not
totally sure of myself quite yet.</span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 7-
Where are you from?</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><b>Sabrina-</b> I
am from Canada, always have been. However I do hope to travel around the world
someday to come.</span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 8-
If you could interview ANY author this year, who would you want it to be?</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><b>Sabrina-</b> Hmmm,
I honestly don’t really know. I believe it is quite the privilege to interview
any author, and I have done a handful of interviews already, but I guess if I
had to choose one author it would either be Leigh Bardugo- author of the Grisha
trilogy & Six of Crows OR Cassandra Clare- Author of The Mortal Instruments
& The Infernal Devices.</span></div>

genre do you like to read most?</b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><b>Sabrina-</b> I
would say that I am a pretty rounded reader and I do enjoy many genres, but I
would have to say that my favourite would be YA high fantasy, or YA paranormal.</span></div>

What’s ONE thing you’re really looking forward to?</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><b>Sabrina- </b>Getting
my review book pile down to 0, finishing my finals in a couple of weeks and
being stress free, and lastly getting a chance to read all the new releases
this year that interest me. I know that was more than one, but what can I say,
there is a lot to look forward too. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><i>When
Nicole Cassidy moves from sunny Georgia to gloomy New England, the last thing
she expects is to learn that her homeroom is a cover for a secret coven of witches.
Even more surprisingly … she’s apparently a witch herself. Despite doubts about
her newfound abilities, Nicole is welcomed into this ancient circle of witches
and is bedazzled by their powers—and, to her dismay, by Blake—the school’s
notorious bad-boy.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><i>Girls
who get close to Blake wind up hurt. His girlfriend Danielle will do anything
to keep them away, even if she must resort to using dark magic. But the
chemistry between Blake and Nicole is undeniable, and despite wanting to
protect Nicole from Danielle’s wrath, he finds it impossible to keep his
distance.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><i>When
the Olympian Comet shoots through the sky for the first time in three thousand
years, Nicole, Blake, Danielle, and two others in their homeroom are gifted
with mysterious powers. But the comet has another effect—it opens the portal to
the prison world that has contained the Titans for centuries. After an ancient
monster escapes and attacks Nicole and Blake, it’s up to them and the others to
follow the clues from a cryptic prophecy so that they can save their town … and
possibly the world.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 1- What inspires you
most when you write?</span><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Michelle- For me, it’s always been the readers who inspire me to
write. I have all these stories inside my mind, and I write them down so that
others are able to experience them—and hopefully enjoy them—too. So, thank you
to my readers for being so supportive and inspiring! </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 2- Where do you see
yourself in 5 years?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Michelle- Professionally, I hope that I’ve written and released a few
more of my series. I hope to release four books this year. So in five years, I
hope that I’ve released at <i>least </i>15
more books. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Personally—I have absolutely no idea. You never know when a
person is going to come into your life and change everything, and I always try
to keep myself open to those changes. Most importantly, I want my personal life
to continue to be conducive to completing my professional goals. Everything
else is just an added bonus! </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Question 3- If you could work
with ANY author who would you want to work with?</span><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Michelle- That’s such a hard question because there are so many
amazing authors out there! If I was picking an author I’d never met before,
then probably James Patterson. I like how he credits all the authors he works
with, and since he’s one of the best selling authors of all time, I would love
to be able to learn from him. If I were choosing from authors I already know,
then definitely Elise Kova! She’s one of my best friends—we get along so well,
and she’s really encouraged me to push myself harder than I already did. Plus,
I love outlining and editing, and she loves drafting, so I think we would make
a great team. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

quote?</span><o:p></o:p></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Michelle- I love quotes, and I collect them. Here are three of my
favorites:<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It consoles, it
distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world, and experience of a
wide kind. It is a moral illumination.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I love all your answers! And I would love to see you and Elise Kova write a book together! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">A lonely farm boy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">A girl with swallow's wings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">An ancient city buried in a volcano.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">A mystery as old as blood and bone. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is more to Gabriel than the life he's ashamed of -- the song of peasant winemakers, bullied relentlessly on account of his disabled mother. For Gabriel has a secret: the elaborate dream world he descends into at night -- a grandiose, vivid existence -- is becoming more real than his waking life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Everything changes for Gabriel when he rescues a wounded creature -- a miraculous girl with swallow's wings -- from the voracious pursuit of Alfio Gallo, a dangerous old enemy. Aided by the beautiful and mysterious Orlando Khan, Gabriel is conflicted by unanswered questions: who is the Dark One that dwells in the medieval tunnels beneath their city? Is he just a figment of Gabriel's powerful imagination? And is the foundling really who she says she is? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Wrestling with manhood whilst beckoned by ancient rites and foreign lands, Gabriel is about to make a deadly decision that changes the course of life as he knows it...as long as he can decide which reality he's in.</span></div>

As a deadly virus threatens to contaminate the bloodstreams of the whole merfolk race, the little mermaid must choose between the lives of her people, the man she loves, or herself.</span></i><br />
