My answer:
Tough one! There are so many books that I’ve finished and thought “This would be a great movie!” My obvious choice is the Divergent series by Veronica Roth. I also want to see BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP by S.J. Watson in movie form (which I thought was going to happen, but maybe I’m wrong?). GONE GIRL would be another interesting movie. Not sure how they would do it, but I would go see it!

My answer:
This answer may sound odd, but I love the actual creation of a blog post. I love the writing and crafting of a post. I love the revising and editing to make the post “just right” for publication. And, obviously, I also love connecting with my blog readers and chatting about books!

Mailbox Monday: August 20, 2012

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at Hooked by a Book (formerly The Printed Page) and is on tour for the month of August at 5 Minutes for Books.

Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.

Here is what I got:


With Every Letter
by Sarah Sundin
Publication Date: September 1, 2012
Series: Wings of the Nightingale (Book 1)
Publisher: Revell
Source: Litfuse Publicity Group for Blog Tour – 9/1-9/27

They know everything about each other–except their real names.

Lt. Mellie Blake is looking forward to beginning her training as a flight nurse. She is not looking forward to writing a letter to a man she’s never met–even if it is anonymous and part of a morale-building program. Lt. Tom MacGilliver, an officer stationed in North Africa, welcomes the idea of an anonymous correspondence–he’s been trying to escape his infamous name for years.

As their letters crisscross the Atlantic, Tom and Mellie develop a unique friendship despite not knowing the other’s true identity. When both are transferred to Algeria, the two are poised to meet face-to-face for the first time. Will they overcome their fears and reveal who they are, or will their future be held hostage by their pasts?

Combining a flair for romance with excellent research and attention to detail, Sarah Sundin vividly brings to life the perilous challenges of WWII aviation, nursing–and true love.

The Sanctuary
by Ted Dekker
Publication Date: October 30, 2012
Publisher: Center Street
Source: Publisher for Review

THE SANCTUARY is the gripping story of vigilante priest, Danny Hansen, who is now serving a fifty year prison term in California for the murder of two abusive men. Filled with remorse, Danny is determined to live out his days by a code of non-violence and maneuvers deftly within a ruthless prison system.

But when Renee Gilmore, the woman he loves, receives a box containing a bloody finger and draconian demands from a mysterious enemy on the outside, Danny must find a way to escape.

They are both drawn into a terrifying game of life and death. If Renee fails, the priest will die; if Danny fails, Renee will die. And the body count will not stop at two.

THE SANCTUARY is Ted Dekker at his best, a powerful thriller that relentlessly plumbs the depths of punishment and rehabilitation, both in a flawed corrections system and in the human heart.

My answer:
I can probably say with some certainty that I will never read westerns… or erotica. An odd mix, right?! I have read books with science fiction/fantasy/paranormal themes, so even though I do not seek those types of books out, I can’t say that is a genre I would never read.
