A surprise in the mail via Goodreads

I love getting mail, I love the surprise of opening your own mail and pulling out something new. 

I recently was sent this from the author Christina Moore. I entered a contest on Goodreads to receive this book which I was sent before it's public release to review for the author. I love helping out a upcoming author and I love reading new books so its a win - win situation for those involved. 

The book is called Beautiful Death, look for a future review or follow me on Goodreads for more. 

Thanks for reading!

Mina Asked me some questions that I would gladly answer

1. Best books you've read this year?
My top two books for this year would have to be Epic Fail by Claire LaZebnik and Losing It by Cora Carmack. 

2. Upcoming releases you anticipate the most?
At the current moment I dont have any books that I'm waiting for. Instead I'm looking for new books to read. 

3. Favourite Authors?
Wow this could be a long list, I have so many authors that I love based on their writiing style and ability to come up with stories and adventures that have never been done before. Some of my top authors would have to be EB White, Rachel Vincent, Suzanne Collins, Clair LaZebnik, Kody Keplinger, Sophie Kinsella, Cassandra Clare, Ronald Dahl and last but not least Dr. Seuss .  

4. Is fan fiction something you consider as a reader or a writer?
I like being a bit of both. I think just like other fan of books that they have great ideas of what adventures and twists characters can get into. the Ability to be creative and the freedom of speech is a powerful tool we all have. I also like the read others ideas, I like to emerse myself and support other fans as well. I love read fan fiction online. Because sometimes the book is too short. 

5. Would you like to write a sequel for a book you loved?
I would like to help give ideas and contribute for a sequel but I wouldn't want to write a book only because I'm so busy.

6.Is there a author you would like to meet?
I would loveto meet Dr Seuss. He was such a big part of my childhood and his books where the first I every picked up when I was learning how to read.

7. What would you ask him or her?
I would ask him how he comes up with all his funky characters and ideas. There unlike anything any author has every come up with. The ability to rhyme and teach a lesson is amazing. 

8.Favorite reading nook?
I love to either read in my bed with a cup of tea when its raining outside, on my porch or in the middle of the ravine close to my house.

9. Book or E-reader?
I prefer a hardcover book but lately I've been enjoying using eBooks and reading them on my iPhone as i travel on the crowded buses.

10. Which novel would you like to see on the big screen and who would you cast as the lead roles?
Lots of my favorite books have already been up on the big screen but two books i think would be great to see would be Shut out by Kody Keplinger or Epic Fail by Claire LaZebnik. Both have a cute love story which would be a fun chick flick like Cinderella Story and Mean Girls mixed together. I would pick either actors from my fav shows like Pretty little liars, vampire diaries or teen wolf as the main cast. There are no many choices it would be hard to narrow it down.

Fallspiration: Stained Glass Agenda by Peter Pauper Press

I love the fall season with the change of the weather comes, cooler days, longer nights, school (sigh*), lattes, colourful leaves and BOOTS & trench coats.
I try to find different ways to incorporate my favourite season into my life in any possible way.
Today I will show you how I'm incorporating it into my school life.




I got this stained glass agenda from Chapters for $12. This caught my eye and it was history from there, even the cashier was memorized by the colours. It has pretty fall colours like gold, greens, reds and oranges. If you like this check out Chapters for others.
Thanks for reading!
