Write in 50 words or less…what do you like best about your blog right now and where would you like your blog to be a year from now?
Right now, I like seeing other people's comments about the reviews I post, and in a year from now, I hope more people are stopping by to start conversations about all these great books!

BBAW Day 4: Found Books
Today we encourage you to blog about a book you read only because you discovered it on another book blog. Preferably, this will be a book you loved! You might also write a bit about the blog you discovered it on!
So, I discovered the fabulous Broken H and Tin Star, both by JL Langley, through Oddmonster's blog. Odd reads way more than I do, and manages to get reviews up all the time (some of which appear here), and when I read about these two books, I was hooked. They're both set in the same small Texas town, and involve two different LGBT love stories: one between a local ranch owner and the disowned son of one of his rivals, and the other between the town sheriff and the man he's idolized for years. They're very quick, sweet reads, with likable characters and believable settings. Definitely recommended. They do feature semi-explicit interactions, though, so 18+.

BBAW: Day 3: The Reading Meme
Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?
Oh, way too much. Usually it's gingersnaps and tea. Now if only gingersnaps were fat-free...
Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of
writing in books horrify you?
Ouch! Yeah, no writing in books please.
How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears?
Laying the book flat open?
I can remember page numbers with astonishing accuracy.
Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?
Yes please!
Hard copy or audiobooks?
Yes please!
Are you a person who tends to read to the end of chapters, or are you
able to put a book down at any point?
I like to be able to read to the end of a chapter.
If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away?
Nope! I just keep rolling.
What are you currently reading?
L.A. Heat by P.A. Brown
What is the last book you bought?
Ghost Hunter by Jayne Castle
Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can
you read more than one at a time?
I read as many as I can carry, but lately I've been having to split time between reading other people's things, and my own things. Novel edits. Nothing but novel edits.
Do you have a favorite time of day and/or place to read?
Nope!
Do you prefer series books or stand alone books?
Depends on the book.
Is there a specific book or author that you find yourself recommending over and over?
I'm a pretty big fan of JL Langley, and more so of James Buchanan, who writes really great men in love.
How do you organize your books? (By genre, title, author’s last name, etc.?)
In piles, based on not falling over. I really need more bookshelves.
