#ShelfLove Challenge 2016 We’re co-hosting the #ShelfLove challenge again this year so join us and read more of the books you already bought! February’s topic: Who is your book boyfriend or girlfriend or best friend? What qualities does this character have that makes him/her the best?

Let’s chat about sports in books. Who are some of your favorite characters who are also jocks? Julie: I’ve been trying to rack my brain to figure out if I’ve read any books where our main hero or heroine is a jock or really into sports, but I’m drawing a blank. Methinks this is not […]

We’re starting a new feature here on Chapter Break called Chat About Covers. ‘Cause you know we all judge books by covers, whether we admit it or not. We judge the style, the color and font choices, and just the overall look. That might not keep us from reading the book, but we do […]
