For Father’s Day, let’s chat about books our fathers have recommended.  Julie: Growing up I always saw my Dad reading. It was typically something sci-fi, maybe with aliens or with some space travel. I would even grab him a scif-fi book from our bookstore at college (and read it before coming home on the weekend) […]

 Let’s chat about the Characters we’d name our children after…    Julie: We had the hardest time naming our son. I wanted to come up with bookish names, but for the most part, my ideas were TV-show character inspired, not so much book character inspired. Neither of these became the name of our kiddo though. […]

  Let’s chat about those series that should have stopped. With one book.  Julie: There are quite a few series where if I didn’t enjoy the first book, I wouldn’t have bothered with any following books. So I don’t know if those are fair to list here. But I’ll list a few where the first book […]

  Let’s chat about those books that we really think should have ended differently.  Julie: You want to know a book that should have ended differently? [easyazon_link identifier=”0307588378″ locale=”US” tag=”chapbrea05-20″]Gone Girl[/easyazon_link]. That book should have ended differently. Like so: Murder-Suicide.  That’s right. via GIPHY   Lynn: I found some Goodreads lists (here, here, and here) that show […]

 Let’s chat about the books that totally should have had a spin-off series  Julie: Most of the books and the world I’ve loved ended up having spin-offs, which is fantastic and fun. I love when I don’t have to leave a beloved world behind. Here are some books that could use some more stories in […]

 Let’s chat about the Types of Books we are Ridiculously Addicted to!  Julie: I’m addicted to well-written, exciting, bite-sized paranormals. That’s pretty much everything I read.  I want it to be past-paced. I want excitement. I want some sizzly romance. And I want them to be “bite-sized” meaning no 500-page books that draw out the plot forever. […]

 Let’s chat about our favorite sarcastic characters!  Julie: Sarcastic characters are tons of fun. Some of my favorites include: Cat from the Night Huntress series. She’s very um catty LOL and fun. Vlad from the spin-off Night Prince series. Because he’s that Vampire, and he’s cruel and sassy at the same time. [easyazon_link identifier=”0316037761″ locale=”US” […]

  Let’s chat about the gifts our book characters have given to another  Julie: It is pretty awesome when characters give each other gifts, and doesn’t it make you wish you could have that gift too? Here are a couple of awesome gifts in the Harry Potter world. The Invisibility Cloak. Want! The best gift ever, […]

  Why has reviewing books gotten so hard?  Julie: It feels like the longer we are book bloggers, the harder it is to write reviews. I feel like I am being repetitive and saying the same things review after review because it is the same things I notice or the same types of things that bother […]

Let’s chat about those characters that are most dislikable. Who just gives you the creeps?  Julie: Pretty sure both of us are going to pick Asa right now after recently reading Too Late. I still shiver just thinking about how despicable he is. Just the nastiest example of humanity I’ve read about in a long time. […]
