B.O.B. Would You Rather...

Day 2 of the Bout of Books Read-a-Thon has commenced and I'm finally getting around to participating in my first mini challenge of the week.  Woohoo! 
Today's mini challenge is hosted by Lori @ Writing My Own Fairytale.  This one is super simple and pretty straight forward:  answer the Would You Rather question.  Here we go!

Would You Rather...Lend books to someone who dog-ears pages or to someone who reads with cheesy Cheetos fingers?
  • I would much rather have someone who dog-ears pages borrow my books.  As a dog-earer myself (I'm really trying to be better about it), it wouldn't bother me as much.  I hate when there is something spilled on books or food/bugs smudged in them.  It disgusts me!  Though Cheetos are delicious...mmm
Would You Rather...Be able to meet one character of your choice or meet one of author of your choice?
  • An author of my choice, no question.  JK Rowling, I'm coming for you!
Would You Rather...Never be allowed in a book store again or never be allowed in a library again?
  • Oh...this one's hard.  Probably a bookstore...as much as I love them.  At least the library will continue to get new books and they're free!
Would You Rather...Have to choose one of your favorite characters to die in their book or have to pick one of your favorite couples to break up in their book?
  • I think I'd rather have my favorite couple break up because at least they would still exist.  Ron and Hermione...they'd still be friends.  Mr Darcy and Elizabeth...would be tough, but I'd be happy that Darcy would be around to be all curmudgeon-y :)
Would You Rather...Be required to read Twilight one a year for the rest of your life or The Scarlet Letter once a year for the rest of your life?
  • Definitely Twilight!  It's totally a guilty pleasure.
What about you?  Where do you stand on these Would You Rather questions? 

There is still time to sign up for the read-a-thon, if you're interested; it closes today.  Simply go here and join in!

Happy reading, fellow Bout of Bookers!

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

Image
Oooo...the day is getting closer; creeping stealthily, it will smack you in the face in no time! While we impatiently await the start of the challenge, it's time to reveal our themes.  Yay!  I'm going for something drastically different this year.  Something much more challenging than I've ever done in my previous four years participating in this particular challenge.  Normally my posts are pretty straight-forward, contained, not overly ambitious.  This year is going to be another beast all together. My mission, should I choose to accept it, will be to write one continuous story for the entire challenge.  I know my characters, setting, and where I want it to go...kind of.  All I need to figure out is how to get from point A to point Z.  The first word of each post will start with the letter for the day; some of these will definitely be more difficult than others, but I'm determined. I look forward to writing this, receiving feedb...

Bianca's Vineyard (Book #13)

Image
I've had Teresa Neumann's Bianca's Vineyard for a while now, thanks to my grandmother, but have been skipping over it to read other books.  I don't know why I did this because it was actually a great read.  Neumann is a local author who decided to write a novel about family history.  The majority of the novel is based on factual evidence and personal family interviews.  There is one portion, which I won't give away, that is only speculated at by Neumann, but what she does choose to speculate is a highly probably scenario. The book is written in a way that suggests it is being told to the reader, as well as Egisto's son and his wife, through flashbacks from Bianca in her 80's.  We know this because the font and boldness of these sections gives personal reflection from Bianca and foreshadows what she will eventually reveal.  She takes you back to the beginning of what changed the course for this family, mainly one brother of the Bertozzi family moving to A...
