TGIF over at GReads!

The awesomeness that is Ginger (or G, as I like to call her) over at GReads! has created a great meme that is tons of fun. Each Friday, she poses a question for anyone to answer. Go check her out and join in!


This Friday's Question:

If you could visit a fictional setting in any book,
where would you go?



Well this one for me is super easy. I actually have two answers: One is a totally fictional place, and the other is half real/half fiction (unfortunately!).

First, I would love to visit the world...

It's Festival Time!!

If you happen to live in Alabama (or are close enough to drive), please come out to the Alabama Book Festival this Saturday April 16th from 10am-4pm and party with other book lovers (like me!).

I've never been to this festival (though I've lived in Alabama for years) but I'm really looking forward to attending this year. There will be lots of food and entertainment and of course authors galore! So come on out y'all (like that Southern twang?) and join in the fun!

Death of Fine Fridays...and the birth of TGIF!!

Yes, it is sad but true...Fine Fridays is no more. My apologies to those out there who looked forward to Friday mornings (I'm one of them!), but I have decided to be a bit more productive on Fridays, so the hotties had to go.

Ahem.

Now I've joined forces with my blogging bestie Ginger "G" over at GReads! for her TGIF meme. This week's question:


Book Tears:
Do you get emotional when you read?
Which books had you in tears?


I have to admit that I don't really cry when reading books. I get scared...
