How long have you been blogging? For a little over a month, but it's been an amazing month.

Are you mainly a book review blog or do you feature/review other things? Book review blog

What genres do you read/review? Paranormal, YA, and Fantasy

What age group books do you prefer (middle grade, young adult, adult)? Why?  Adult, because I can identify with them easier, but I also love YA.

What’s something unique about your blog? Well, I guess the most unique thing about my blog is Saturday's Sexiest Character. A feature where I post the books I've read that week and the sexiest guy from those characters.

Who/what are your favorite...

Books? The book I read when I'm sick and all is wrong with the world is Jane Eyre.

Authors? Jeaniene Frost, I can get kinda fan girl about her.

Literary characters? Vlad from Night Huntress, Christian from Vampire Diaries

Literary couples? I guess I don't really have a favorite. I should since I primarily read romance, but I don't. :'(

Villains? I haven't read something with a villain that is not an abstract thought instead of a 3d character in so long. So I suppose I don't have one.

Supernatural beings? Vampires and my newest obsession fairies

Guest Reviewer: Rie from Mission to Read ~ Paranormalcy by Kiersten White

Paranormalcy by Kiersten White
Paranormalcy series 
Publisher: HarperTeen 
Published: August 31, 2010 

Genre: YA paranormal 
Hardback-335 pages

Summary:

Evie’s always thought of herself as a normal teenager, even though she works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, her ex-boyfriend is a faerie, she’s falling for a shape-shifter, and she’s the only person who can see through paranormals’ glamours.

But Evie’s about to realize that she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.

So much for normal.

Rie’s Review:

Paranormalcy is freaking bleeping awesome! From the very first page I was totally in love with Evie. I mean seriously, how perfect is a “pink with rhinestones” taser, nicknamed Tasey.

Evie loves all things pink, she’s humorous, and surprisingly strong. You’d think she’d be all damaged, but she’s not. She’s strong, and what more than anything else is to be normal. She is easily pleased with the ordinary, like high school lockers.

She needs love, a family, stability and when we meet her she’s attempting to fill all those needs with the cold sterile-ness of a government agency.

I can’t wait for Supernaturally! I think I’ve found a new series to go all fan-girl over. Yes, completely smitten.
