Q. In light of the Summer Solstice. Also known as Midsummer...let's talk about fairies. What is your favorite fairy tale or story that revolves around the fae?

A: I haven't read too many Fairy Tale/Fairy stories. I really liked Wings by Aprilynne Pike. It was unlike what I even expected, and I'm not really sure what I expected. I can't wait to read the rest of the series... I have Spells on my shelf right now and I want to read it so bad!

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jennifer @ Crazy for Books.

Our question this week:

“When did you realize reading was your passion and a truly important part of your life?”

Let's see... I've always loved reading. I would read books constantly when I was in 3rd grade through 6th. My favorites were The Baby Sitter's Club series, Sweet Valley Twins series, Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's The Grand Escape, Anne Of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery, and 101 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith (if you never read the book that inspired the movie, you MUST! It is amazing). I lost touch with my love of reading while in junior high/high school and allowed myself to be distracted by other things (like graduating, lol, I was homeschooled and pressed for time because I had a medical situation that held me back by a few months). Then I got back into it again later on (after graduating). I always knew reading was important to me, I just needed to realize that I needed to make more time for it. Now I can't stop reading. I love getting taken to new places in books.


I felt like posting this tonight since I'm still up and hyper off of downing a Mountain Dew can in less than 15 minutes... I need to get to bed for work in the morning though... so goodnight my fellow book lovers!
