Hi guys! How was your week? Mine was pretty great, after a little reading slump I finished some great books and wrote some reviews too, YAY! =)

Let me spread the love and share a great blog I found out last weekend through the Hop! I followed a lot of new blogs, but I made a couple new book blogging friends too…

Thanks to the Hop I met my Book Soulmate! Not only we have the same taste, she is also Brazilian and she also blogs in English! We even live in the same city! How cool is that! We’re also meeting in person this weekend, YAY!

Check out Barbara’s Blog:

Today Jen asked us to talk about some of your favorite authors and why they are your favorites!

I have so many favorites and I follow over 100 book series, but there are those authors that started my love for books and those that are simply an authomatic buy for me whenever a new book is out =)

Some of them are:

  • Agatha Christie
  • Ilona Andrews
  • MaryJanice Davidson
  • Richelle Mead
  • Jeri Smith-Ready

What is not to love about these ladies’ books?

    The blog looks great! I love the whole Halloween vibe going on here. In Australia we don't get to celebrate it, but I've always found it a fascinating holiday. I wish I could've gone Trick or Treating, at least once. It seems like it would be a whole lot of fun!
