First off, that photo is a cake. Seriously. I'd almost feel guilty eating it. Almost.
My birthday is coming up and my parents are asking for a birthday list. Said list will consist of books. Fragile Eternity is already on there but I'd like some suggestions from all you writers. (Cuz if you're a writer it means you read a lot.)
I like YA as long as it's that generation Y YA that appeals to us 20 year olds. Oh wait, this birthday will make me 30. I don't care, I'm still gonna read YA. Nobody can stop me! :)~
I'm a sucker for a great love story, or books with magical elements, and I always love to fictitiously fall in love with some new hunk. Books that make me cry--whether because of beauty, love, or sadness--are also good.
So any suggestions?

Write. Read. Imagine. Create. Learn. Love. Live. Repeat.
I've stopped over here from The Literary Lab. You have a great site here, and you market your writing and your book well. I'm hooked already! I look forward to learning more about you.
ReplyDeleteOh, and that cake is AMAZING! In my book my MC is a cake maker. That's something she would make. :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had some amazing book suggestions for you, but have not read anything new recently. I've been re-reading the Harry Potter series on my Kindle.
My goal is actually to get to BN this weekend (I've got a nice $25 gift card burning a hole in my pocket). I'll let you know if I find anything good!
Well, I don't know if this is too young or not, but "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" is a fun read.
ReplyDeleteKaren,

Cheers and have a lovely weekend
hi karen. happy bday! 30 is not so bad... it's and end, true, but also a start.
ReplyDeletefunny too... pretty much the whole TO gang has birthdays in the spring. guess there is something to astrology. ha.
i read many magazines - i love the fresh stories. your comments about romance coincide with this month's Walrus (canadian lit mag) - they profile Harlequin - good story - find it on their site. http://www.walrusmagazine.com/
keep writing!
Hmm, books I recommend to people all the time: First, "The Hunger Games," by Suzanne Collins. This has become maybe my favorite book ever. Great writing, powerful, and at times, terrifying. Also, "Thirteen Reasons Why," by Jay Asher is a fantastic book. And third, I finally got around to reading "Holes," by Louis Sachar, and if you haven't read that, it's definitely worth the read!
