This week's question is: Have you ever read a book with a character with the same name as you? (submitted by Snapdragon @ Snapdragon Alcove)

MY ANSWER: It almost feels rare that I get read my name in a book! At a time where there were always at least 2 Jessica's in a class, I haven't encountered many in my reading days. It's possible for off the side characters, like ones who just popup and then leave and have no part in the story really.

But of course, I have an answer for this. There was a book I read where Jessica was the main character...and it was one of my all time favorite books ever! And not just because we shared a name, although that was a high point for me as a teen!

Yes, my beloved favored book, the one that started me down this path of vampires and werewolves where I never wanted to look back to contemporary reads ever again was Demon in My View by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. It starred Jessica, a teenaged author who discovered that the vampires she wrote about in her books were very real and were not too happy with her for spilling their secrets!
