Oh jeez, this one's hard. I like Tris from Divergent, I think she's very strong, most of the time. Oh and I think Clary from TMI and Tessa from ID are strong heroines.

Good answer. Although, I would have to say I would love to hop across the pond to where our three Aussie moms live, but that would be no fun for them. I also wuld love to go sit on the beach with these ladies for a week, any beach with gorgeous sand and a man bringing us drinks. He has to be a hotty of course!

Julie Reece Okay, all the moderators are together for one evening and you are all queens for the night. Where are you going to go, what are you eating for dinner, what does your dress look like and which ONE book boyfriend is your date.

One book boyfriend date per queen, no cheating :)

Tina wrote: "Hey girls! Name your 3 favorite books."

We had a crazy weekend here, so I'm playing catch-up on everyone's questions!!

Tina-oh, girl, leave it to you to ask the impossible questions!! LOL It's really hard to narrow down, but as far as books that really stuck with me, I'd have to say my top are:
Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1) by Tahereh Mafi
Thoughtless (Thoughtless, #1) by S.C. Stephens
Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days, #1) by Susan Ee

As for my favorite book boyfriends, I have a TON of favorites, but these boys have been on the top of the list for awhile:
1. Kellan from Thoughtless, because he just oozes sexiness. He's naughty, tempting, gorgeous, and when it boils down to it he just wants to be loved (Oh, oh, pick me, pick me!!)...plus he's a musician, so come on, that's automatic top 5!!!
2. Patch from Hush, Hush because he broke the mold for hot, cocky, protective fallen angels who'd suffer any amount of torture for their girl! Yes, silk sheets took on a whole new meaning after this boy!!
3. Adam from Shatter Me because there's nothing sexier than a man who masterminds a traitorous, dangerous, multi-phase rescue just in the hopes that he can drag you from the clutches of evil. And, umm, you may have heard of a certain shower scene...
4. Daemon from Obsidian because he's my inner teenager's guilty pleasure. He's conceited, fiercely protective of the ones he loves, no laptop can survive the heat he gives off, and he's an incredibly powerful alien. What's not to lust...er..I mean, love??! =)
5. Reed from the Premonition series because he drives me crazy in a good way!! In Inescapable he's the ultimate arrogant, mysterious hottie that's off limits but can't stay away, in Intuition he brought me to tears over his heartache, and in Indebted he left me weak in the knees and swooning when he does everything he possibly can to get his girl back!!

And, for the record, Christian Grey (Fifty Shades) would be on my list, but he's kind of in a league all his own!! LOL

Julie wrote: "How long have you been members of GR? How did you get started here and what made you get involved in moderating vs just being one of us reader type blokes, lol :)"

Julie, I've been a GR member since February 2011, but I didn't really grasp how great this site was until later in the year. After discovering how many amazing books there are out there (I admit, I'm one of those readers whose eyes were opened by the Twilight series), I was so grateful to find others who loved to read them as much as I do! Our group was the first that I joined, and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Sylvia (Heinzypop) made me feel right at home when I first joined, and I quickly got to know more of the mods and many of the members. I met some amazing people that I now call dear friends, who I am so very thankful for (and yes, we all plan to run off to Vegas together at some point)!! I hope that everyone in our group has the same experience, because it's been wonderful!

As for why I became a mod, well, I'm on GR all hours of the day and night, so when I was asked to come aboard recently it was an easy decision! ;-)

Anything bad happening to my kids. Seriously, I don't really have any phobias that I know of. At least not to the point that you might call it a phobia. But if anything happened to one of my kids, I would FREAK out!

My biggest fear is being unable to protect my kids when they need it. The thought of someone breaking in at night terrifies me, but that irrational fear is probably from watching too many episodes of Criminal Minds. LOL

What are you most afraid of and what would you do with a million bucks! :)

I have a big fear of drowning. I wear contacts/glasses, so I don't see very well underwater at all and I can't stand that.

I also hate spiders.

I am most afraid of anything happening to my kids, kind of goes along with the phobia question, I suppose. I just don't think I could handle something happening to my kids, especially death. I don't know how I would go on.
A million bucks is not enough, can I have two??? LOL! JK! First, I would pay off my house and possibly move. Then, I am pretty sure I would go on a trip somewhere. Unfortunately, this isn't enough for me or my husband to quit our jobs.
