What are you currently reading? Tell us about it

Right now I’m actually currently reading The Secret Keeper. I’m a little behind on this book because I’ve been sick lately. However, I’m still planning on attending the book chat tonight and I’ll be finishing up the book soon to have a review up on the blog next week. All I’m going to tell you about the book right now is that I’m really enjoying it and you should really pick up a copy of the book here.

Do you find yourself reading more of a particular genre during the heat of summer?

During the summertime I do find myself reading a particular genre over others, mysteries. Now that’s not to say that I won’t still read a historical or a romance, I just prefer books that have a little bit of a mystery behind the story. That might be why I’m loving The Secret Keeper so much right now.

Who are your favorite book villains (either to love or to hate?)

The villains that I love the most are the ones where you don’t know exactly why they’re doing what they’re doing. You KNOW who the bad guy is, you KNOW when the bad guy is going to strike, you just don’t know WHY they’re doing all of these things. Essentially the ones that keep you guessing.

If you could choose one author’s writing powers to harness, who would you choose and why?

If I could harness one author’s writing powers it would be Nicholas Sparks. That man knows how to tear at someones heart strings and writes a dang good story. If I could write like him I wouldn’t have to work an actual job for the rest of my life!

Do you read one book at a time, or read multiple books at once?

It actually depends. Sometimes I get so into a book that I don’t want to open another one until I finish that one. However, more often than not I am reading multiple books at one time. Usually one for review purposes and one for personal consumption.

What are some of your favorite non-fiction books?

I have to say that non-fiction books aren’t usually books that I read but I do like cookbooks. I also read a really great non-fiction book recently, Dear Luke, We Need to Talk, Darth

    I need some mystery in my books as well! I think that must be one of the main reasons why I liked The Secret Keeper. If there is no mystery, it seems almost like there is no point to reading in some ways.

    I love reading. I think I’ve read all of Nicholas Sparks’ books.

    Right now I’m reading Scared Scriptless by Alison Sweeney.
