Christine from Rainy Day Reads featured me on her Book Blogger Spotlight. Thanks Christine, you’re a peach!

I hope all of my American readers had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I was able to spend the day with all three of my kids at my sister’s house. We had fab food and tons of laughs. Late that night we braved the crowds and the yucky windy/snowy weather to hit some sales. You know, I really don’t want to be one of those Black Friday maniacs…especially now that it’s creeped its way onto the actual holiday. But there were some sales that I couldn’t resist, and it was a blast hanging out with my mom, sister and youngest daughter.

Have a kick ass week ya’ll!

30 Day Book Challenge: Let’s wrap this up!

Day #28: A book you wish you had never read

This could be a long list. But even the crappy books I’ve read have taught me something. However there was one book that I started that I wish I hadn’t even picked up. To be frank I wish it had never been written. 

It was so ultra-stupid that I read less than a page before I put it down. In disgust. Stop messing with Jane Austen, please

Day #29: An author that you completely avoid/hate/won’t read

Danielle Steel. No, just no.

Day #30: An author that you will read whatever they put out

A few authors came to mind. J.K.Rowling..but I haven’t read The Casual Vacancy yet so she doesn’t count. Ken Follett…but I haven’t read his early crime stuff so I guess he doesn’t count either? Bah. I don’t know if I’ve read the entire works of any author? (Besides dead folks that won’t be putting out any more books!) 

I’m going to say Rita Supetys because Between Shades of Grey was amazing, and she has a new book called Out of the Easy coming out in February and I’ll definitely be reading it.
That concludes my adventures with The 30 Day Book Challenge. It was a hoot and I hope you enjoyed the posts!
