Created by Dewey, picked up at Becky’s Book Reviews:
1. When you dislike a book, do you say so in your blog? Why or why not?

You should have seen this one coming … Who is your favorite Male lead character? And why?
I don’t connect with male protagonists the way I do with female, so I can’t really come up with an absolute favorite. And this reminds me of a conversation I’ve been having with my pastor’s wife, who [...]

Here’s something for Valentine’s Day.
Have you ever fallen out of love with a favorite author? Was the last book you read by the author so bad, you broke up with them and haven’t read their work since? Could they ever lure you back?
