ASK THE REVIEWER: My Tower of Books

My Tower of Books



This is the seventh in a series I'm hosting where I talk with reviewers who have reviewed my books. Today I welcome Jackie Miller from My Tower of Books ! She was kind enough to take time out of her reading and blogging schedule to answer some fun questions about herself, her blog, and about my novel Ambasadora .

ABOUT THE REVIEWER



1. What types of books do you review most often?

My reviews vary pretty widely. Mostly I review Paranormal, Sci-Fi and Fantasy within Young Adult and Adult. I like to mix things up :-)



2. Are there any types of books you won't review?

I don't do non-fiction. It has its place . . . but it just doesn't interest me. I prefer to escape to another world when I'm reading.



3. Do you review more books you've come to on your own or those from authors/publishers?

I started out reviewing books I owned or borrowed from the library. I've been really lucky lately to have a steady stream of requests from authors and publishers. It's been really great getting to meet all these hard working people living the dream :-)



4. How long does it usually take you to get to a book once it makes it into your TBR pile?

Arg! It can take anywhere from one week to one month. I try to get a good turnaround, but my reading time is pretty limited at the moment. I have three young kids that are all home with me during the day which means I only read at night (or during naptime if everyone is asleep at the same time by some miraculous turn of fate).



5. What is your favorite book ever?

I have a hard time pinning down just ONE book that I love. It has changed over time. If we're going by how many times I've re-read a book, it would have to be Pride & Prejudice. That is some good stuff right there!





ABOUT AMBASADORA



1. Who was your favorite character?

Definitely Sean! I loved his character, and I wanted to take care of him :-) I am always drawn to the quiet, wounded type of guy in books.



2. Who did you picture as the characters?

Hrrm . . . I kind of pictured Sean as John McAvoy. I'm not sure why exactly, but I don't need a huge reason to picture him. He's pretty yummy!



3. What is your favorite setting within the Ambasadora-verse?

I really liked the Underground. I could feel how gritty and illicit it was while reading.



4. Would you rather have a character or a place named after you?

Probably a character. I love putting myself in the shoes of the female characters that I'm reading about.



5. What would you like to see in future books within the Ambasadora-verse?

More V-side! The glimpses of it in the book were really cool.



6. Would you ever want to travel to the V-side?

As much as I liked it in the book . . . No! I'm too chicken. You have to give up control of your physical body while there, and that would probably make me too nervous :-)
