The Romance Bookie

Hello Everyone, Because of my crazy schedule, switching between student teaching, school, and work, I have not had time to pick up a book in months.  I am counting down to when I get start again!  It is looking like towards the end of May, but then it also depends on my sanity at this point, because it is looking a little iffy at this point.  All I know, that this summer better involve some fun and relaxing time!  I am tired! The only "fun" thing I have been able to do (and that depends on your definition of "fun"), is listen to audiobooks as I commute from home to student teaching, student teaching to work, and then at night make the hour long drive to school.  It has been a nice change, because to be honest as much as I had been a music lover before everything happened in my life, I have had a hard time listening to music since my dad passed away.  So audiobooks have been a nice change! Anyway, I have been trying to read Winter  since Christmas...

Hey Everyone!! From Goodreads : I should not exist. But I do. Eva and Addie started out the same way as everyone else—two souls woven together in one body, taking turns controlling their movements as they learned how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did the worried whispers. Why aren’t they settling? Why isn’t one of them fading? The doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their parents begged for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn’t . . . For the past three years, Eva has clung to the remnants of her life. Only Addie knows she’s still there, trapped inside their body. Then one day, they discover there may be a way for Eva to move again. The risks are unimaginable-hybrids are considered a threat to society, so if they are caught, Addie and Eva will be locked away with the others. And yet . . . for a chance to smile, to twirl, to speak, Eva will do anything. Erin's Thoughts: What...

Do you want to know something I have always disliked?? When someone goes to a book signing from an author and hasn't read their book(s). I SWEAR(!!!), when I went to the Hilary Duff signing for her first novel Elixir in November 2010, I was the ONLY person there that had actually read it!! WTH is that???  Who does that?? I know people do not always have time, but seriously?? If you have time to go to a book signing, then you should have time to read the book! That's just my opinion on it. So, anyway, next Saturday to a certain point I am going to be one of those people I dislike.  There are going to be about FIFTY authors at the Passion and Prose Conference!! Fifty authors!! Most of whom are still starting out, so I have not really heard of there books. I mean, I read A LOT!! Not as much as some people, who read like a book a day, but I do read usually about a book a week.  BUT, that also means I do not get the opportunity to read every book that comes my way....
