A Winner and a Hopper
1:30 PM
Thanks to all who entered the giveaway. If you didn't win this time, don't despair. You can still enter to win a copy of Dan Wells' new psychological/supernatural thriller, The Hollow City by clicking here. And, of course, you must stay tuned because I will definitely be hosting more book giveaways in the near future.
****
This week's question is: Who is your go-to author when you are in a reading rut?
- Honestly, when people talk about reading ruts, I have no idea what they're going on about. A reading rut? Isn't that like an oxymoron or something? I never get tired of reading. Never. Are there times when I get a little cranky after reading a bunch of mediocre books in a row? Sure. When that happens, I do turn to some old favorites. These folks can always reignite my reading passion when it starts to burn a little dim: Kathy Reichs, Jodi Picoult, Neal Shusterman, Maeve Binchy (Just read on her website that Maeve Binchy died less than two weeks ago. How did I miss this news? Sad day for her fans, of which I am definitely one.), L.A. Meyer, Joanne Harris, Patrick Ness, Brandon Sanderson, Robyn Carr, and the list goes on and on and on ...
How about you? Who are your go-to authors?
If you're visiting BBB for the first time, welcome! I'm so glad you're here. Take a look around, leave me a comment or two (or three or four), and, most of all, enjoy the browse. I promise to return the favor. And, to my trusty old followers, a heartfelt thanks for your support. Happy reading, everyone!
