This Week’s Question:

Letter to Santa: Tell Santa what books you want for Christmas!

 


Rie’s Answer:

Dear Santa:

Thank you for the wonderful Christmas this past year. This year I would love to receive a first edition of both Jane Eyre and Little Men. I would appreciate it if you could throw in the Black Dagger Brotherhood as the twitterverse has convinced me I must read it. More than all of that I would really appreciate a new bookcase. Mine is overflowing.

With Love,
Rie

Pabkins’ Answer:
Santa Baby! 
If we are talking first editions I'd love one of Alice in Wonderland and Grimm's Fairy Tales (you know the creepy ones! haha).  I'd also love to have every book written by Isaac Asimov - I have a new found obsession with Sci-fi and I hear he is one of the greats!  Oh and while you're at it - my entire book wishlist would be nice - just saying...I've been good swear.






This Week’s Question:

Giving Thanks: Which books are you most thankful for receiving from other bloggers, friends, family members, or publishers?

Rie’s Answer:

The book that I received from a fellow blogger and it completely utterly made my week, month, year was Divergent from Bookish Brunette.

The latest book for me to squeal about from a publisher was Struck by Rhonda Stapleton.

The book that has meant the most to me within the past year (or more ever) is Everneath by Brodi Ashton.Seriously this book made my heart completely stop in it’s pure awesomeness.


  Pabkins’ Answer:

From Feiwel & Friends - my ARC copy of Cinder by Marissa Meyer.  I can't tell you how much I loved this book and can't wait for all 4 to be out.  In fact I'm going to meet Marissa in January for her launch day signing in Washington - while I'm visiting my sister for the holidays!

From Dark Eva's Delights I won Low Town by Daniel Polansky - I know it was a win - but I just loved it so much!









                       Rie and Pabkins       



Essentially, we are two sides of the same coin. We both love to read but have tastes that range to such opposite ends of the Fiction spectrum!  Rie our blonde haired smoothie perhaps is the light and lovey side of us, Pabkins the chocolate haired one brings us the darker delights.

  4. Oh yes, BDB is a must! That whole series would be a perfect present to find under the tree. Although, finding one of those vamps under the tree would be even better.

  5. Hopping through. I bet a first edition of Jane Eyre would be worth a lot of money. I'd like to read Little Men. I never have.

  6. I disliked Little Women quite a bit, but wholeheartedly enjoyed Little Men when I was little. Jane Eyre would be worth quite a bit of money, but I really want to start a classic first edition collection.

  7. From what twitterverse was telling me the men in the series are quite steamy in their manliness! I need a good steamy book to keep me warm for the seasons. 

    Although, there is the hubs...nope book boys are so much hotter.

    Thanks for hopping through.

  8. First ed. Jane Eyre sounds fair enough. I'm sure you've been very good this year. I'd rather like one, too!
    Dark Lover is HILARIOUS. The book is really good fun, but I kept laughing at the names, and fake gangsta talk/slang. At one point, hard-ass gangsta vampire calls 'shotgun', and on another, he says he can't make it, so he's 'outie'.

    You should TOTALLY read them. Some good steamy manpire book is always a good way to spend the weekend XD

  11. I got Everneath last week and it is on top of my TBR pile at the moment. As is Divergent! Too many great books, not enough reading time.

    I haven't read the BDB series either, a few friends of mine have and think I need to read ... I'm sort of neutral on them at the moment LOL For some reason I've never been much of a collector of first editions, I love to be able to pick up all my books nd loan them out and I'd feel too self-conscious with a precious 1st edition of a classic on my shelf I think LOL It'd probably end up getting ruined somehow and then i'd feel like a book abuser for the rest of my life :D

    All best! Hope Santa reads your letters and sends love your way! :D
