I share my head with voices. Usually, those are the voices of future book characters. I am one of the authors of "Never a Dream" - a recently published romance/mystery. In fact, I am many things: a reader, a journalist, a music-lover, a comic book fan, a gamer, a tv-show addict, a youtuber, and a dreamer. Even if it's never a dream, that leads me to combining letters together in an attempt to tell a story. (You see, what I did there?)

I definitely prefer the dynamic of an unhappy one. As for favorites - it's not easy to pick one, most of them find their happily ever after, that's why I pick the one that didn't happen: Jo and Laurie (Little Women/Good Wives even though, the second one was disappointing).

If you want modern books, I would definitely recommend Flawed series (or two books). I found them to be both well written, and they touch serious topics.
Rainbow Rowell seems to be popular, I've only read "Fangirl", but it's a kind book, so I think a library would benefit from it. If you don't have Philip Pullman, I'd recommend his books too. I can't of anything else right now, but If I do, I'll be sure to tell you :)(less)

I don’t like it when things end. When good things end especially. But here it is, the last book of the series, the grand finale of Frankie the Vampire Slayer. And I still think it’s the best continuation of Buffy we’ve gotten so far.

“You don’t want a cheap Strat. Everybody has it. What you want is a rare model. The one that’s very hard to get. And only a guitar you’ve put a lot of effort into buying would end up being the most important in your collection. Do you get it?”
Polina Traore, Never a Dream

“You don’t want a cheap Strat. Everybody has it. What you want is a rare model. The one that’s very hard to get. And only a guitar you’ve put a lot of effort into buying would end up being the most important in your collection. Do you get it?”
Polina Traore, Never a Dream

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
William Faulkner

“Dreams have only one owner at a time. That's why dreamers are lonely.”
William Faulkner

“I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.”
Albert Camus, L'Étranger

“But,' I reminded myself, 'it's common knowledge that life isn't worth living, anyhow.”
Albert Camus, The Stranger

There's more Rock and Roll than rock formations but you might still like it. ;-)

Sounds like a lot of fun! Frankly, anything, that has the word "rock" in the title captures my attention :)! That's actually how I ended up buying a collection of rock formations! )


Stacey Hey Polina, thanks for the friend invite. Rock Chicks by Kristen Ashley is one of my favourite series, but it's even better on audio in my opinion. I'm a wee bit biased though as Kristen Ashley is one of my favourite authors. Very humorous, with quirky heroines, bossy and tough heroes with a side of drama that draw you into their lives. It's not for everyone's taste, but if you don't take it too seriously, they're very enjoyable.

See you around. :-) ♥
