When reading, what makes or breaks a story for you? Whose debut novel impressed you more than you anticipated?
I usually use whatever piece of paper I can find handy. How do you mark your spot – folded page corner, bookmark, dollar bill, whatever is at hand? Hearts Made Whole by Jody Hedlund and The Thorn Bearer by Pepper Basham…. What book have you read this year that you could not put down, and why? If it’s a new-to-me author, it is usually determined by whether or not I am pulled into the first chapter. Which factors most influence your selection of a book? I am usually faithful to my favorite authors once I’ve been impressed by them… and it usually has a lot to do with quality of writing. I don’t think anyone else writes novellas from first person POV, and that’s what I would do.Īre you faithful to a genre, an author, or simply quality writing? I do plan on reading more lately, and then maybe try my hand at it. Of the ones that I have read, I found that I really loved some and really disliked others… just like any other type of book. Are you thumbs up or down? Or does it depend?! I would totally prefer to have giant chunks of time!-I just don’t get many of those anymore since I have an 18 month old little boy…. When is your optimal time to read – do you prefer to read in one long block, or do you also read for five minutes here or there when you can? Now, as for current authors, my favorites to buy in print are books by Jody Hedlund, Sarah Ladd, Julie Klassen, Elizabeth Camden and Lori Benton. I still like my paper books-which is a reason I couldn’t wait for The Everstone Chronicles to release in print! A lot of the books I love, I will buy in print-and they are titles like: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, Jane Eyre and all of Jane Austen’s books. I do have a kindle app on my iPad mini, and I do read about half of the books I read using it.
