Q: What is your preferred reading format? Hardcover, eBooks, paperback etc?

Okay let me break down...well...me for you.  For my absolute favorite books, the ones I could read again and again, I prefer to have either hardcover or paperback. Hardcover if I can afford it but I will settle for paperback. I love having that physical contact (Okay maybe I hug them...but that's normal right? Right!) and nothing beats that bookish smell. Okay I see that look you're getting. You know you secretly sniff your books too!

I always swore I would never...I mean ever...be one of those people who bought an eReader of any type. That's like bookworm sacrilege right? Well, that's what I used to think. Then one day about a year ago I was sitting there on the Barnes & Noble website having a major internal battle. My brain was looking at the Nooks saying "Do it! Do it! Do it!" while my heart was saying "Noooo! That's not even close to reading a book. Resist!!" Well guess who won? *Glances discreetly at Nook*

Anyway...

So I loved my Nook, I discovered new authors, inexpensive books, sometimes even free ones! And then one day I was talking to one of my non-reader friends (Yeah I know right?! Can you believe they exist? Pffft) and she was complaining about her mom and how spoiled she is by her dad and she's like "I called her the other day and he's bought her both a Nook AND a Kindle!!" I was like what on earth? Who does that? Why would you need both??!!!?!?!! I will never be one of those people for sure! Nope I'm happy with my Nook. *Looks down, cheeks flushed with embarrassment* 

Okay look! Amazon always has such good deals on Kindle!! I had to!!! Sigh. And ever since I bought the thing I've become such a 1 click junkie. I'm so not kidding. My blogging besties and I complain about our clicking habits all the time...right after we encourage each other to buy another book ;)

So basically I'm very much an eBook kind of person at the moment. But if I truly love the book I eventually get physical copies of it if they're available as well. What can I say? I'm a book hoarder!!

Sorry I rambled I do that sometimes... Anyway, thanks for stopping and if you're a new follower let me know in the comments! I always return the favor :) I prefer Bloglovin' follows as GFC is going bye bye soon. And feel free to follow and bug me on Twitter. It's my other addiction and I'm always up to meet fellow bloggers. Have a great weekend lovelies!!! ♥♥

Q: Share your favorite literary quote!

Though I have quite a few there's one that for some reason always sticks with me. It's even in the signature of my main email account! :P Yep I'm going to Potter for this one :D

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light.” - Albus Dumbledore "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"

What are some of your favorite quotes? Let me know in the comments if you're a new follower and I'll return the favor! Since GFC is going out I'd prefer Bloglovin' or Google+ or any of the other ways available. Have a great weekend!!

Q: Activity: Spine Poetry. Create a line of poetry with your book spines (take a picture). Not feeling creative? Tell us about your favorite poem.

I almost took the easy way out this week and picked my favorite poem but I found...a poem I suppose? But I had to add extra words to make anything work. So maybe I'm slightly cheating? I don't know how "strict" Spine Poetry is. So here's what I came up with...

 

Splintered in Silence

The Dark Lover waits for me

Devoured by the Eclipse

Of Beautiful Darkness

The Shadows Kiss

Our Warm Bodies

As we Crash

Thoughtless and Reckless

Into the Beautiful Chaos 

*Shrugs* It was last minute.  So leave me a comment and let me know if you're a new follower Bloglovin', email, gfc whatever you prefer! And  I promise to get back to everyone ASAP! Have a great weekend :)

Yes I had fun last week and I'm back for more! And I'm thinking this weeks topic is even more interesting: 

Q: Have you broken up with a series? If so which one and why?

It kind of threw me at first because it takes a lot for me to give up on a book/series. Especially if there's even just one character I like, I'll keep reading the series just to see that person through to the end. I know, I know I'm a masochist. But then I remembered one that disgusted me to no end. And there was no way in hell I'd ever be able to read another book in the series. The series I broke up with is:

Spirit Wild Series

by

Kate Douglas

(my review)

Let me start off by saying this to those who don't know me yet, I am so not a prude. I love me some kissing. steamy scenes. Especially if there's a bad boy doing the kissing! But for once in all my reading years the thought crossed my mind while reading this...."Sometimes you can ruin a perfectly good book with too much sex!" I know! I surprised myself!! But in this case it's true. But the other problem was it wasn't just....sex. It was threesomes and group sex and, oh you're going to love this, it's about shifters right? Most turning into wolves and umm, there was a couple of sex scenes between the couples in wolf form....I'M NOT KIDDING!!!! Yeah totally skipped over those. I honestly don't even know how I made it through THIS one let alone the idea of moving forward with any future books. *Shivers* On THAT pleasant note...

What book series have you broken up with? Leave me a comment and let me know if you're a new follower Bloglovin', email, gfc whatever you prefer! And  I promise to get back to everyone Saturday or Sunday! (I have a teenager turning 16 today so I'll be MIA most of the day.) I hope you all have a great weekend and get in some good reading :) xoxo

So this is my first one. I don't know why I didn't start this sooner but this weeks question was right up my alley and someone put me in theirs *Squeals and dances* and I'm all grinny now (that's a word shush!). It made me want to post one as well! :D

Q: What blogger would you most like to meet in real life? Tell us about him or her.

So I'm picking the two people that I interact the most with either here in the blogging world or on Twitter. There are tons of great bloggers out there so I'm not trying to offend any one I'd love to meet all of you but like I said I interact with them the most:

Jessica @ Lovin' Los Libros 

AND 

Danielle @ What Danielle Did Next.

I simply adore both of these girls. If two of us are in a discussion on Twitter you can almost guarantee the other one at some point is gonna butt in! :D They're awesome bloggers! They're funny and sweet and I'm so glad that I've met them (in a virtual sense) and some day in the future I think it would be so much fun to get the three of us together in one room! Though in the real world, believe it or not, I'm unbelievably shy, still I'd really like to meet both of them one day :)

Honorable mention:

Wendy @ Book Scents

I've recently started following her on Twitter and her blog and she's a great blogger and really nice! Go check her out!!

So leave me a comment if you're a new follower so I can follow you back. I love to meet and talk to fellow book lovers! Who would you like to meet in real life?
