Have a Happy Hop! #5

This week's question: What's your favorite beverage while reading or blogging, if any? Is it tea, coffee, water, a glass of wine, or something else?

My answer: Depending on the weather, time of day, and my mood: Milk, hot chocolate, ice water, or Mountain Dew. (Milk with cookies/other chocolate, hot chocolate with breakfast or late night snack, ice water if it's hot, and Mountain Dew with lunch.)

For all you other hoppers out there, leave me a link to your blog and I'll make sure to stop by. :) Comments and follows are very welcome, but please don't feel obligated. I just like meeting you all and talking with you.

Have a Happy Hop #4

This week's question is: How many books do you have on your "to be read" shelf?

HA! I'm honestly not sure anymore. There are plenty on my literal shelves that I have bought/acquired that I still need to read. And my Goodreads shelf has quite a few as well. If I had to guess, I'd say somewhere around 300. Ish? Probably more than that.

As always, if you're stopping by from the Hop, leave a comment with a link and I'll be sure to stop by your blog!

Have a Happy Hop #3

Hello Hoppers! Welcome!

This week's question: Who is your favorite new-to-you author this year?   
Hmm. Probably Rachel Caine, author of the Morganville Vampires series. Or else Richelle Mead, author of The Vampire Academy. I was late jumping on their bandwagons, but I love both of their work. There have been so many great new authors lately, there are many more that come to mind, but Mead and Caine stick out.

For adult, I'd say Ava Gray/Anne Aguirre. :)

This week's Hop question: Tell us about the book you are currently reading!

I'm reading Prophecy of the Sisters, by Michelle Zink. I saw this one on a whole bunch of other blogger's pages, and it seems as though nearly everyone is waiting for Guardian of the Gate. (By the way folks, this is proof that book bloggers have an impact. :) ) Anyhow, Prophecy of the Sisters is right up my alley- secrets, a prophecy that must be decoded, strange occurrences, and an inevitable choice that could change things forever. Love it! And it's set in the 1800's, which adds to the eerie feel perfectly. I'm about halfway through, and if it continues on in this vein... I think I'll love it. Either way, there will be a review on Prophecy of the Sisters soon, so keep an eye out for it! :)
