What a fun, Halloween-themed question! =D Here's my story:
I could hear my daughter in the next room, hosting a make believe tea party with her dolls. Following a long stretch of silence, she whispered, “Oh no, Little Miss Tina, I could never poison Mom.”

I have been cultivating this summer's reading list for the last few months. It's one I've been salivating over and have already begun to delve into. I'd started Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo last month and fell in love with the storyline. I have since started the second book in that series, Seige and Storm and am not disappointed. Also on the summer read list is the latest from Kresley Cole, Wicked Abyss (Adult PNR). And because I really wanted a new-to-me series in the crime/thriller genre, I've decided to try The Black Echo by Michael Connolly. The last must-read on my list is The Jekyll Revelation by Robert Masello. It came neither recommended to me personally nor is an author I've read in the past. But the synopsis sounds like something I'd like, and I do love to squeeze in new-to-me authors when I can. =) Looking forward to warm, lazy reading days ahead.

Aside from choosing a favorite book, this could be the hardest literary question I could be asked. But I like a challenge. =) I've given it a lot of thought. A lot. And I believe I've reached an answer I can live with. I have two favorite couples.
1) Lothaire and Elizabeth (Lothaire by Kresley Cole, Immortals After Dark #12) - Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series is AMAZING. All of them. But Lothaire and Elizabeth are my favorite. Him with his arrogance, her with her down-home, Southern ways. They are such opposites and come from completely different worlds and yet are so perfect for one another. I'd have them on this list just for the comedy alone... but then throw in the sexual tension and the battle of wills when they're equally determined people and you have an epic read.
2) Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen) - My favorite Austen novel. They each needed the other in order to open their eyes and see the truth of things. Darcy needed someone who wouldn't agree with him just for the sake of being agreeable. I love that they are both strong-minded and yet able to voice their differences. They made each other think; they made each other a better person.
