This week's question is: If you could “unread” a book, which one would it be? Is it because you want to start over and experience it again for the first time? Or because it was THAT bad?

MY ANSWER: Hmm...one book I remember reading way back in the beginning that I just did not enjoy was The Turning by Jennifer Armintrout.

Perhaps I read this when I was too "young". I just didn't like it. There was too much sex and the f-word was used a lot. It's been so long since I read it, I just remember not enjoying it at all.

Another book I think I would have liked to unread is the Twilight Saga. Looking back on it now, I just didn't really care for it. You know how it is when you being to over analyze something. Well, when I over analyze that series, I come up not liking it at all.

The movies may have had a little part in that, but really when I do go back over it, it just comes up as something where I go, "What was I thinking?"

TGIF is a weekly feature created and hosted by GReads! that re-caps the week’s posts and has different question each week.

This week's question is: Authors Are Our Celebrities: Have you ever contacted an author you admired? How did that experience go?  If not, which author would you love to have a chat with? 

MY ANSWER: Oh I love this! I do say that authors are my celebs! It's part of the reason that I bought the shirt that says authors are my rock stars. Close enough!

I have contacted authors! I think the first one I ever contacted was...you might have guessed, or not...Maria V. Snyder!

I was super excited about her books and this was when I wasn't overwhelmed with reads, so I contacted her, saying that I looooved her books and was an aspiring writer myself!
 

Then later on, I had to write a paper--my topic was about writing and me wanting to make it a career. I had to have 2 interviews among my resources, so I contacted Maria with a bunch of questions. I didn't use all of them for the paper, but I wanted the answers all the same!

And Maria was kind enough to answer all of them! Can't remember what I got on the paper, but doesn't matter! I got to talk to an author as "homework" or research really since it was a college paper! :D
