Armchair BEA Day Four

Surviving Fictional Worlds

What fictional world would you want to live in?
Everyone dreams of being part of a fictional world at one point or another. I am definitely not an exception to that. There are so many to choose from. Who doesn't want to go to Hogwarts, right?! I would really love to live within the A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J Maas. Specifically within The Night Court. I still have a little over a hundred pages left in A Court of Mist and Fury, but as I was reading I was often thinking, "These, these are my people." If you haven't picked up this series yet, I really hope you do. The atmosphere is so beautiful despite the darkness that looms. Honorable mentions include Camp Half Blood from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan and Emerge by Tobie Easton. The latter because who doesn't want to be a mermaid?!

Which worlds do you never want to dive into?
The Maze Runner is another one. I actually have read books one through three and I just wouldn't last. I'll leave it to the characters that James Dashner has created. Also, I haven't read these books so I'm just going off of what I have heard about them. I would not want to be a part of the world within either Game of Thrones or The Hunger Games. From my understanding a lot of people die and it's been a running joke within my friends/family that I'd be the person in that Geico commercial who wants to hide behind the chainsaws. You know the one?

Which worlds are you content to stay behind the glass, so to speak, rather than wishing to dive through the page?
Definitely Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. As much as I love the story and the dinosaurs, I am definitely happy to watch from afar. Which is basically what we're all doing when we watch the movies. And while I've only read book one, I wouldn't mind watching The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken from the sidelines. What about you?

Thank you for taking the time to read my fourth Armchair BEA post. I can't believe the week is practically over! I can't wait to do this again next year! I have loved interacting with all of you! Feel free to leave a comment about the fictional worlds you would or would not want to be a part of!
Xoxo,
Gabriella

      I'd say luckily I'm not a boy, but there was indeed a girl. Lol.

Debut Author Bash 2017: Kate Hart

Image
Hello and welcome to day one of the 2017 Debut Author Bash! This year I'll be doing a couple of days and today is all about Kate Hart! I hope you enjoy! About the Book A YA debut about a teen girl who wrestles with rumors, reputation, and her relationships with two brothers. Seventeen-year-old Raychel is sleeping with two boys: her overachieving best friend Matt…and his slacker brother, Andrew. Raychel sneaks into Matt’s bed after nightmares, but nothing ever happens. He doesn’t even seem to realize she’s a girl, except when he decides she needs rescuing. But Raychel doesn't want to be his girl anyway. She just needs his support as she deals with the classmate who assaulted her, the constant threat of her family’s eviction, and the dream of college slipping quickly out of reach. Matt tries to help, but he doesn’t really get it… and he’d never understand why she’s fallen into a secret relationship with his brother. The friendships are a precarious balance, and when t

Armchair BEA 2017 Day Two

Welcome to day two of Armchair BEA, the from home version of Book Expo America which I hope to attend someday. Let's just get straight into today's topics, shall we? What Do Readers Want? What I want as a reader is to be sucked in. I want a story to hold my attention and make me care. That is actually how I rate my books, based on how well they keep my attention. When it comes to events, I would like them to be spread out more. Maybe that's a weird way to say it. What I mean is, change the cities you visit. Don't always do the major ones, some of us can't make it to those. And if you insist on making them so far, can you make them at a reasonable time? Example: Most of the events are a two hour drive from me, but don't begin until 7 PM and on a week night. Let's say I only stay for an hour? I'm still not getting home until after 10 PM if I'm lucky. We all know well known authors might not get to everyone in a simple hour. This is why I rar
