Booking Through Thursday


It's my Friday! Super stoked about this four day weekend coming up, and it's usually unheard of, but my honey managed the time off too. Mini vacation for us :) 

(Don't forget to check out the giveaway to the right. Just click the cover and it'll swing you over to the entry form. :-D)


This week's question(s) ask:


Do you have any pet that has a name inspired by your readings?
If not, what would you pick if you DID?
Do any of your friends have book-based names for their pets? (Or their children?)

The answer here would be no. My girls ~ a 6 lb Pomeranian and an abnormally large Siberian Husky ~ are named Dakota and Anouk respectively. I picked names from the north because I unwillingly lived in the south. However, my parents had a puppy I named Lyra ~ like the little girl in the Golden Compass. I just loved the name. I also have a cat named Tobias, like in Divergent, but that's merely a coincidence.

If I got another puppy today ~ uh oh, now the thought's in my head ~ the names that pop into my head are Katsa or Po, from Graceling. Tough, strong, resilient, but kind and gentle at the same time. :)

None of my friends have book-based names for their pets or children.

What about y'all?

Happy Reading Everyone :)

Booking Through Thursday

Yes! I love Thursdays! Another day closer to the three 'R's' :: Rest, Reading, and Relaxation.. I definitely live for the weekends...

This week's question asks:

Has a book ever inspired you to change anything in your life, fiction and not-fiction alike?

Whether they are fiction or non-fiction, books are the ultimate learning tool. I read mostly fiction, and although the stories may not be based on actual events, the core of these books are basic human elements we experience everyday. Love, pain, friendship, betrayal... I could go on and on and on... I couldn't choose one book in particular, but books as a whole allow me to see myself more clearly in regards to the way I react and what I think while I'm reading. I believe I'm a better person because of books; even if I haven't experienced a situation myself, I've read about someone who has, and each time I read, I gain knowledge about life.

Every book changes my life.


Happy Reading Everyone :)
