Retiring Why I Love Wednesdays

Out with old, in with the new right?!  I've pretty much exhausted my love of things and its been fun.  I've had tons of laughs, enjoyed the comments, and appreciated those who participated.  But for now, I'm moving on.  I'm not quite sure what will be in its place but when I figure it out, I'll let you know.  Hopefully many of you will join in!

Why I Love Wednesdays... Favorite New Author

I am returning with my feature... Why I love which takes place on Wednesdays. Today's proclamation of love concerns our Favorite New Author

Why I Love...Kevin Hearne

Ohhh!  This week's topic is particularly hard because I read many new to me authors this year and had a fabulous experience.  It was so hard to choose between Sophie Kinsella, Kevin, Hearne, J.D. Robb, Christopher Grant, or Neil Shusterman.  All these authors were so great.

Ultimately I had to go with Kevin Hearne who writes the Iron Druid series.  Urban fantasy is just not my favorite genre and I would have never picked up this book if it wasn't for fellow book review bloggers.  Kevin Hearne changed my entire perspective on this genre.  I'm continuously amazed at how I consistently love the books in this series.  I haven't been disappointed yet.  This series is full of action, magic, folklore, humor, and all around fun.

Why I Love Wednesdays...Favorite Book Challenge

I am returning with my feature... Why I love which takes place on Wednesdays. Today's proclamation of love concerns our Favorite Book Challenges

Why I Love...The TBR Pile Book Challenge

I've been really into completing my challenges lately and it's been lots of fun.  I've been surprised that my favorite challenge thus far is the TBR Pile Book Challenge hosted by a bunch of folks.  In this challenge, you read books on your very own bookshelf.  I'm sure all of us are guilty of buying books and putting them on our bookshelf to collect dust.  So I joined this challenge determined to correct some bad habits.

I've corrected no bad habits, but I've rediscovered books that I just had to have (though I forgot about them).  There are some amazing books on my bookshelf!  It's like a guaranteed fun read but going to my very own bookshelf. This shouldn't come as a surprise but somehow it has.  While I've had some hits and misses in pursuit of my dystopia challenge, I've only had hits in my TBR Pile challenge.  This challenge probably wins the title of best challenge and best surprise.  Who knew reading the books on your very own bookshelf could be such fun?

Why I Love Wednesdays... Favorite Villain

I am returning with my feature... Why I love which takes place on Wednesdays. Today's proclamation of love concerns our Favorite Villains

Why I Love...Klaus (Niklaus Mikaelson)

Here I go again choosing a character from a book I haven't read :)

No but really.  A tv show based from books totally count.  I've started watching the new season of Vampire Diaries and I've fallen in love again.  How did I go without this show?!  Anyways...I love Klaus as a villain.  Even though he has soft moments every blue moon, Klaus is a real villain.  I don't want to ruin it for you in case you are behind and need to watch it on netflix and catch up (*looking at Jade*).  Klaus shows up in season 2 and boy is he a formidable foe.  He can't be killed, he used to travel around with his family members in caskets, and he is such a manipulator.  Oh and kills tons of people without blinking, even those who supported him once upon a time.  You think he can't be all that bad and then he reminds you that he's pretty bad.  I absolutely love this series and I can't wait to see what Klaus does next!
