What is your take on epilogues? Julie: I think epilogues are a strange idea. I mean, if the last chapter of the book appropriately wraps up the plot and character arcs, then why does a book need an epilogue? It really is like another chapter anyway. I have seen some epilogues where the book is […]
Do you really read other blogger’s book reviews? Julie: Well, it depends. I do, actually, read other blogger’s book reviews when the book is one I’m considering reading. I do judge a book by other people’s opinions of it. Or maybe if it is a book I’ve recently read and want to see their thoughts […]
How do you feel about 5-star reviews? How often do you give them? Do you trust other bloggers when they give a book 5 stars?

Now lets say you recommend your favorite series to her and she decides […]
Is Julie awesome or just great? (Today is her Birthday, so both!) Real Topic: E-book or print, which do you prefer? Julie: Today is my birthday so your discussion topic is about how great I am. And GO! Ok really, I love both electronic and print books. I mean, I’m in the process of […]
How would you define New Adult? Do you think it deserves its very own genre? Julie: I think New Adult is a pretty cool new concept.
