“When did you realize reading was your passion and a truly important part of your life?”

I've been a reader for a really long time, but I think I realized I couldn't get enough of the written word when I was a pre-teen. Back then I was reading a lot of Sweet Valley High books, Choose Your Own Adventures, and then I remember loving the movie and the book The Secret Garden. (Did all of that just date me? Eh, I'm ok with that!) - Jessica






Feature & Follow Friday
This weeks featured blogger at Parajunkee's View is Mickey @ I'm a Book Shark

Welcome to the world of Book Sharks!

Mickey is the blogger behind I'm A Book Shark. She really wishes there was a better explanation for why she's a book shark. A new twitter name was needed, and it had to be about her favorite hobby: reading! For whatever reason, sharks also came to mind and a book shark was born.

Mickey has been reading for as long as she can remember. It's her favorite pastime, her go-to activity, her escape from any bad reality. Reading is so awesome that her last name is even Reed! (Spelled wrong for irony of course.) And her first name is actually Michelle, so her name is quite like Richelle Mead. It never gets old!

Her goal this year is 200 books, and she's already 59% there. That's mostly because she reads almost every genre in any age range. She enjoys a good romance, perhaps a comical mystery, or a YA novel with angels and vampires. And audio books are a staple in her life! Mickey has a job where she can listen to books at work, and that makes up a big amount of her reading.

Besides reading, Mickey is a natural reddish-headed mid-twenties entertainment-of-all-kinds lover, girlfriend of boyfriend, mother of reptiles (and a cat), and addict of dessert. Anything chocolate is a welcomed gift in her life. Oh yeah, and she likes to blog. :o)

And this week's question for Follow Friday is:
Q. In light of the Summer Solstice. Also known as Midsummer...let's talk about fairies. What is your favorite fairy tale or story that revolves around the fae?

Hmmm...well this might be a stretch to some people, but as right now I am reading Dead Reckoning, I'm going with the Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire Mystery Series.  Yeah, so it has vampires in it.  It also has were creatures in it and fairies....so I'm going with it.  I love my Sookie!

“How many books are currently in your To-Be-Read (TBR) Pile?”
Hmmm....I've got 279 on GoodReads and another 100 or so sitting on a book shelf here.  I'm going to go with 400.  That's doable....eventually.




Q. Genre Wars! What's your favorite genre and which book in that genre made it your favorite?
I think Dystopian is currently my favorite and The Hunger Games set me off in that direction.  Love it so very much and I do like adult dystopian book as well.
