This week’s question:
We all had to read things in school that we didn’t like … but what about something you read for a class that you ended up liking (or loving)? An author you discovered that you might not have found? A genre you hadn’t thought about?
My answer:
My high school and college days were several years ago *cough cough* so my memory of what I read is fuzzy. But, there...

Booking Through Thursday: Branching Out
Amy asks:
Name a book you love in a genre you normally don’t care for. What made you decide to read it? Did it make you want to try more in that genre?
My answer:
THE UNDERSTORY by Elizabeth Leiknes. I’m not exactly sure what genre this book falls in. Quirky fiction? It’s a fantasy/chick lit hybrid, I suppose. Anyway, not something I would usually read, but I loved it! My review...
