Literary Addicts Wednesday Meme: Where do you stop reading in a book?
I’m usually a long-winded meme writer, but this week’s is going to be short and sweet.
The question of the week is: Where do you stop reading? When you’re tired, or at chapter endings?
My answer: I stop reading when the Kindle hits me in the forehead, after I’ve fallen asleep. True story.
I read mostly at night, once I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t work anymore. So I’m usually pretty tired, and I read until my eyes close.
Which is going to be any minute n. . .
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Tiffany King
Contradictions
A Novel
Coming December 2014
From The Berkley Publishing Group/Penguin Group (USA) LLC
When everything starts spinning out of control…
Three years into college, Tressa Oliver’s life is a nonstop party. She’s skating by in her classes, and there’s no shortage of drinking, dancing and general hell-raising. The only aspect that hasn’t been much fun: she can’t shake the toxic jerks that always seem to gravitate toward her.
It will take someone totally wrong…
Trent Lawson is the classic anti-bad boy: smart, boring, and way too serious. To a wild girl like Tressa, there’s no way in hell they’re compatible—especially since Trent seems to see straight through her defenses.
To set her right.
When a college prank goes terribly wrong, Tressa starts to suspect that her partying ways are leading nowhere fast. Now, she has to turn to the last person she ever thought she’d ask for help—and quickly discovers that there’s more to Trent than meets the eye…

Literary Addicts Wednesday Meme: Ebook or Print?
Since the advent of ebooks and ereaders, this has been the controversy: ebooks vs. print. It has, in some ways, both echoed and precipitated the debate between indie publishing and traditional.
My first ereader was a Nook that my sister gave me for my birthday, some years ago. Honestly, just like with my first iPod, I had no idea what to do with it initially. My books were, and always have been, precious to me. I love the smell, the touch and beauty of the printed word, and I didn’t think that would ever change. But because I am somewhat forward thinking, I decided to give the Nook a go.
The first positive I realized was that my ereader was imminently portable. I could tuck it into my purse for doctors’ appointments, bring it on airplanes and car trips, and my books were all at my fingertips.
And then there’s the storage issue. A lifetime of book purchases meant that when we moved, we had more boxes of books than anything else, and some people (ahem!) found that problematic. The reality was that I had many, many books that I was not going to read again. They were fine, but they were definitely one-read books. Having them in ebook form made more sense.
So am I an ebook only reader? Not quite.
Because there is something else I love about print books, and it’s their history. I’m looking at my bedroom bookshelves as I write this. There is a first-edition copy of GONE WITH THE WIND that my grandmother gave me. It’s the first copy of the book I read, and when I see it, I’m upstairs at her house, which was my childhood home base, cuddled on the bed, lost in antebellum South. And I also see Nana’s copy of CHRISTY by Catherine Marshall, a book that my dad read to me first, and then I re-read myself later. . .an amazing story, with my grandmother’s name signed in the front along with the date. My Anne Rice originals are on the shelf next to my LaVyrle Spencer romances.
There are some books that I will read over and over again, and they have place of pride on my shelves. Seeing them in ebook form just wouldn’t cut it.
So I’m a hybrid: I love the immediacy and portability of my ebooks, and I love the sensory aspects and history of print.
I’ll admit that my family tends toward print. My husband will do ebooks, but as a theologist, most of his books are print. He likes to flip through them, highlight. . .my two middle daughters are adamantly print-only. Only my oldest daughter is more like her mom. And my son seems to prefer print as well.
I think there’s room for all books. I believe ebooks will continue to thrive and improve, and I also think there will always be solid printed books in the world.
We’re not either/or; we’re both/and.
This was an excellent topic; go hop around and see what everyone else thinks by visiting Literary Addicts.

Literary Addicts Wednesday Meme: When Did You Get Into Reading?
Have you always loved to read? If not, how did you get into reading?
This was the question this week. The answer is. . .
I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love to read. I don’t remember a time when I could NOT read. My earliest memories are of books: reading, discussing, breathing them in.
I was blessed to be raised by two passionate readers. We talked books around the dinner table from the time I was a toddler until the day I got married and left home. My dad read to me every night before bed until the night I left for college. Books were essential to our life.
The first books I remember would probably be the Little House books, Katie John, All of a Kind Family. . .some really fabulous reading.
All of my children loved to read except my second daughter. It took her until she was about nine years old, when she became interested in Egypt and mummies. Suddenly, she couldn’t read fast enough. Now, at 22, she has books all over her room and reads constantly.
I can’t imagine a life without books.

SAMADHI Release Day!
Samadhi – Book Three in the Love and Light Series is available NOW
BUY IT AT:Amazon
Smashwords
Wolf and
Loti are learning the hard way that karma will not be denied. In their quest
for the truth, they’ve been forced into a blood bond with a powerful witch who
isn’t so sure she wants to be tied down. But there’s one thing they can
agree on: it’s time to eliminate the ancient vampire who set off this
deadly chain of events–Modore.
Using any
means necessary–torture, murder, and even death magic–Modore lures the
triumvirate into the show down of their lives. And the
consequences will far exceed even Modore’s imagination.
In this
final installment of the Love and Light Series, the boundaries of love, lust,
and even life itself will be tested and the universe as they know it will never
be the same.
About the Author
Melissa
Lummis considers herself a truth seeker, a peaceful warrior, a paranormal and
fantasy writer, an avid reader, a thru-hiker GAàME ’98, a Penn Stater,
a wife, a mother, and a free thinker.
She believes the universe conspires to help an adventurer. And if we live our lives as if it is a
daring adventure (and it is!), then everything we need will find its way to us.
Her books
have been described as new age suspense in a fantasy setting, but they are also
straight up, steamy Paranormal Romance.
The Love and Light Series is currently available at most ebook retailers
and soon to come is the Little Flame Series, a spin off focusing on the
character Fiamette from the Love and Light world.
Melissa
lives in rural Virginia with her husband, two children, an Alaskan Malamute,
and a myriad of forest creatures. The
nature of her mind dictates that she write to stay sane. Otherwise, her fertile imagination takes off
on tangents of its own accord, creating scenarios and worlds that confuse the
space-time continuum.
Namaste,
dear friends.

WANDERLUST by Bella Ross
Wanderlust Series
From glamorous capitals to exotic playgrounds…couples are swept up in desire passion & lust.
Genre: Erotic Romance
by Bella Ross
Buy on
Amazon | Amazon UK | Amazon AU | ARe | Kobo
***********************
About the author:
Bella Ross is a writer with many passions, two of which are writing and travelling. She wrote her first book (a novel) at eighteen a la Jackie Collins. But back then, unbeknownst to her, life was about to take her on a detour. As she set off on her new course, her dream of writing took a backseat and her entrepreneurial spirit flourished instead. But after many years of worldly pursuits, the urge to write returned and the time was right to follow her bliss.
She believes its never too late to follow your dreams/bliss.
Her books/stories are her first attempt at erotic romance. She loves the genre and its endless creative possibilities. She likes pairing bold and dynamic (Alpha) men with sexy and strong women – which in her opinion – make for a hot and sizzling combination. With her love of travel, it is no surprise that her ‘Wanderlust Series’ take place in glamorous capitals or exotic locales around the world. Its the perfect backdrop/setting for her characters to explore and indulge their lusts and passions, loves and desires.
When she’s not writing, she’s reading, or gallivanting all over seeking new inspiration, or people watching while enjoying a latte at Starbucks and jotting down ideas.
She loves to hear from readers, and looks forward to interacting through her social media channels. You can also sign up for her mailing list to be notified about new releases and promotional offers.
