This week’s topic:   Favorite, hated, or memorable character names? 

This is actually a fun topic.  I have a few:

Favorite/memorable names:

Olive Taylor from To Love Jason Thorne.  Just loved this name.  Very simple and classic.

Sookie Stackhouse from The Sookie Stackhouse series.    Very memorable name.

Archy McNally from the McNally series.  Very classic rich Miami name.

Edward Cullen from the Twilight series.  Great name.

Names I hated:

Reneesme Cullen from the Twilight series.  Seriously one of the dumbest names ever.

November Mayson from Until November.  Stupidest name ever.  She then went on to name her children June, July, December, April and May.  Really?

What is on your list?

Happy weekend.

This week’s topic:     Favorite book world

I don’t read fantasy, but I LOVE Game of Thrones, which is based on a book series, so I’m going to cheat a little bit…

Favorite Book World – Westeros

Westeros is kind of the North America of the world of GOT.  Many of the big cities are there – King’s Landing, Winterfell, Dorne, River Run, are all part of Westeros.  And Jon Snow lives in Westeros – I love Jon Snow.

Sorry for my slight cheat…Have a great weekend!

This week’s topic is:

Top 5 Book Boyfriends

I feel like we do book boyfriends a lot, but since I have so many, I can’t say I mind:)  Here are my top 5 boyfriends.

Lee Nightingale from Rock Chick by Kristen Ashley

Runs a PI firm; fiercely loyal to his guys and his family.  Funny as hell, but also very sweet and protective over Indy.  All around good guy.  Alpha male.

Mitch Lawson from Law Man by Kristen Ashley

Mitch is a Denver cop; fiercely loyal and protective of his close friends.  Sweet and loving towards children.  One of my favorite all time guys.  Big time alpha male.

Matt Montgomery from Tied with You by Kristen Proby

Matt is a cop who has a little fetish – tying women up while making love to them.  He is super close to his family and very protective of them.  He’s also incredibly sweet and a major alpha male.

 Cotton Malone – The Cotton Malone series by Steve Berry

The Cotton Malone series is a historical mystery series, but Cotton is smart as hell and one tough cookie.  Former special forces, he is currently the owner of a rare book shop in the Netherlands.  Trouble always seems to follow him though.

Alex Delaware – The Alex Delaware series by Jonathan Kellerman

My first book boyfriend.  Alex Delaware is a child psychiatrist who helps the police with tough cases.  He lives in LA, is sweet, loving and loyal – but I hate his longtime girlfriend.

Who are your book boyfriends?

Happy weekend.

This week’s topic is:

What is your take on DNF books. Do you review them? Choose not to review them?

Honestly, it just depends on my feelings on the book.  There are some books I DNF and I don’t write a review for, but there are some books I DNF that I feel very strongly about (Carter Reed by Tijan) that I write a review about.

I would say I generally don’t write a review for a DNF, but I’m not opposed to doing so.

What are your thoughts?

Happy reading and have a good weekend.

What are two of your favorite book to movie adaptations?

I will be the first one to admit that I generally do not care for movie that are adapted from books.    There are really only two movies from books that I have liked.  They are:

Jurassic Park – book by Michael Crichton.  Though the book was better, this was a fantastic adaptation.  The movie was intense and scary – I loved it.

The Hunger Games – book by Suzanne Collins.  This movie was amazing close to the book and did all the characters justice.

What is on your list?

Happy Friday.
