Mini-Challenges
Monday #1: Character Questions at Between the Pages
Monday #2: Cover Challenge at IB Book Blogging
question 1: What is your favorite cover that has been revealed this summer and why?
answer 1: Brownies and Broomsticks comes to mind right away. It's a cozy at a bakery with a cat on the cover. Pink and sparkly, what's not to like? ;-)
question 2: Do you rely on the cover to help you choose whether you want to read a book or not?dang, I don't know if this was a summer release. checking... it was May. That's close enough to summer, right?
answer 2: Covers encourage me to pick up a book to read the back but sometimes the cover isn't enough to buy the book. Once in a while I'll rely solely on the cover but I don't remember when I did that last.
Tuesday #1: Bookish Fight at Kindle Fever
Tuesday #2: favorite foreign author at Stiletto Storytime (non-USA for me)
Four authors sprang to mind when I say the word "favorite" but I'm not sure all of them count.
Lilian Jackson Braun doesn't count, for this anyways, but she is a favorite. So is Elizabeth Lowell, Anne McCaffrey was an American living in Scotland, and ... {shakes head} ...moving on...
Dick Francis. He's so much a favorite that I got teased that I only married Michael because of his last name. Mr. Francis is the "winner of over 350 races, he was champion jockey in 1953/1954 and rode for HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother". Since I'm in the US, I don't think I could get any more foreign than that. He writes mysteries that have some kind of horse/related basis. That's way over simplifying his stories. As for a favorite? Whiphand and Shattered.
Stephanie Laurens lives outside Melbourne, Australia, with her husband and two feline princes. She has 30 novels in print and I'm not sure I could pick a favorite...so I'll pick two series, The Cynsters and The Bastion Club
Wednesday #1: What is your most anticipated book for 2012? at The Reader Bee
this requires some thinking, and checking a couple of lists ;-) . . .that's enough, right?
I'm not going to be able to narrow this down, so I'm going with:
Mischief and Mistletoe by Jo Beverley, Mary Jo Putney, Patricia Rice and Nicola Cornick,
The Lady Risks All by Stephanie Laurens,
Dream Lake by Lisa Kleypas, and
Dragon's Fire by Anne McCaffrey, Todd McCaffrey and Dick Hill
Wednesday #2: Fictional Best Friends at Magnet 4 Books
I only knew one of the pairs. Hermione and Harry
