What is Think Out Loud?

Think Out Loud is a weekly meme created by Thinks Books to break out of the blogging bubble. Consider your Think Out Loud posts a time to do WHATEVER YOU WANT!

You can find more information and how to participate on your blog HERE!


So, here is my Think Out Loud for this week!
 
 Shut Up & Read was nominated by the amazing Think over at Thinks Books for the Liebser Blog Award. Basically what this means is someone thinks our blog is awesome!  To accept the award, I answer three questions about myself asked by the person who nominated my blog and in turn I nominate three more blogs and ask them to answer three questions. 
 
Think has an amazing post about the history of the Liebster Blog Award HERE. 
Check it out!


Here are the questions Think asked me to answer:

1. What is your favorite part of blogging?
I love doing author interviews.  I have had the chance to get to know some really great authors and make some friends in the process.  I love asking personal questions as well as questions about their writing.  It makes it a little more fun and helps us as the reader get to know the person behind the pages a little better.

2. How much time do you spend on your blog per week between reading/reviewing/blogging and networking?
Actually on my blog I probably spend about two hours a week, most of that doing memes and networking with other blogs.  If I included reading and writing reviews into that, it would be more like 20+ hours!

 3. What are the 3 blogs you just HAVE to keep up with?
There are about 8 blogs I follow regularly, but here are three of them (besides Thinks Books, of course)-
1. Reality Bites - Let's Get Lost
2. A Daydreamer's Thoughts
3. Some of My Favorite Books

Bonus Question: If you were in danger, which fictional character would you want to come to your rescue?
Jerrico Barrons (Fever series by Karen Marie Moning).  Didn't even have to think about it.

One Less Warlock by Judith Post

One Less Warlock by Judith Post My rating: 4 of 5 stars I think it's hard in a short story to create a unique setting, characters, etc., and still get some sort of story line in. In One Less Warlock, Judith did an excellent job of molding the story in such a way that we got a taste of a distinct world and character personalities, and a complete story to go with it. In this short story Judith was able to pack in witches, vampires, a sexy Were, succubus, voodoo, murder, and mystery, all in only about 20 pages. Pretty amazing. I enjoyed the story and Babet, the main character, and am looking forward to more of her in the future. View all my reviews
