So we know you love Chapter Break and that’s why you’re here. What are some other favorite book blogs that you read?  Julie: I used to read a lot of book blogs. Now I hardly read any 🙁 But the ones I do still read tend to be bookish blogger friends: Second Run Reviews […]

  What are your bookish weaknesses? What aspects of books make you weak in the knees?  Julie: So, I’ve gotten a lot less weak when it comes to book hoarding. I used to collect (or hoard, whatever you call it) anything that drew my attention, but our Shelf Love challenges and my utter lack of […]

  How do you decide whether to read a particular book? What makes that book your pick?  Julie: There is so much that goes into selecting which book to read next. So many factors, decision-making points, or outside “pressure” to read something specific. When something decides for me: A book club book (if I ever start […]

Let’s chat about the jobs a character may have. Do their jobs really matter?  Does the character even NEED a job?  Julie: Honestly, most characters appear to not have much of a job, or if they do, their jobs are so flexible that they can run off on some heroic journey and all is well. Many […]

  Let’s chat about all those intimidating books on our TBR list. What intimidates you from your list?  Julie: I think what intimidates me most on my TBR list are the series. The long series, that have been out for a while and even where I have collected the books but haven’t read them yet! They […]

 Let’s chat about those books that should have had a sequel, but for some reason did not.  Julie: I tend to read a lot of series, or very tied up standalone books that really can’t call for a sequel anyway. But here are some I can think of that could go on. School Spirits is […]

  Let’s chat about those books that really *really* should have had a cover change.  Julie: If you’ve been following along recently, you’ve seen our awesome Cover Chat posts. Some covers are great, some are horrendous, and some we disagree on haha. I stand behind my comments and there are surely some that could benefit […]

  Let’s chat about our favorite foodie characters.  Julie: I think we absolutely have to start with Julie from [easyazon_link identifier=”031604251X” locale=”US” tag=”chapbrea05-20″]Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously[/easyazon_link]. There is nothing more foodie than spending a year working through your favorite cookbook while saving your life. Then there’s Nastya from [easyazon_link identifier=”1476730946″ locale=”US” […]

  For Father’s Day, let’s do like we did for Mother’s day at chat about the worst fathers we have read about.  Books aren’t always positive and happy rainbows, right?  Julie: Sometimes we at Chapter Break go dark, and I think this is a bit of a dark topic. Some awful fathers or father-figures that come […]

  It’s Mothers Day, so let’s chat about the WORST mothers we have read about. You know, we can’t always chat about just the positives, right?  Julie: The first book that springs to mind with this topic is the horrendous step-mother in [easyazon_link identifier=”147781714X” locale=”US” tag=”chapbrea05-20″]Reason to Breathe[/easyazon_link]. She is abusive and horrible and seriously why […]
