Armchair BEA Introductions ~ ME!

So once again, I'm home for BEA. *Pouts* BUT once again, I'm participating in Armchair BEA! YAY!

Today, I am introducing myself to all the other Armchair BEA participates.  *waves*

~~~~~~

This is me reading my favorite author!!!!

 

Here are the questions I was asked to answer for this:

Please tell us a little bit about yourself: Who are you? How long have you been blogging? Why did you get into blogging?

 

I'm the very weird math/tech teacher who runs a book blog.  Yeah, I know I'm strange.  My students will confirm. :P  I've been teaching middle school for about 8 years - all of that math.  Recently, I got my master's degree in Instructional Technology - big fancy words that mean I can teach technology classes now.  This next year, I will still have some math classes but I will also be teaching technology for the first time. YAY!

 

I started StuckInBooks in January of 2011.  I mostly review YA books but a few adults books make the cut as well.  I love paranormal romance the best but also read urban fantasy, dystopia, contemporary and some epic fantasy.  I stay away from mystery and horror.  Just not my thing.

I started my blog as a way to share my love of reading.  Summers are a time when I recharge and get ready for the next school year.  Reading became a big part of that a couple years back and the blog was born out of that.  Might have something to do with my love of technology too. :P

What are you currently reading, or what is your favorite book you have read so far in 2012?

 

Okay, favorite book I've read so far this year is the hardest question ever but I'd rather answer that one then what I'm currently reading (review book).  So really, this is only one of the best books I've read this year but that works for me.  Onyx by Jennifer L Armentrout.   She rocks my world with every book I read of her's.  I haven't read anything I haven't liked and as I always say, I'd stand in line to read anything she writes.

Tell us one non-book-related thing that everyone reading your blog may not know about you.

 

My favorite color is purple?!? No you probably can guess that.  Okay, hmmm....I eloped.  Yes I did.  Got on a train and went to Vegas and got married.  Just me and hubs.  May I recommend if you're gonna do that elope thing that you not take a train.  We were poor and did the best we could but it was 24 hours there and 24 hours back. 

Which is your favorite post that you have written that you want everyone to read?

 

In general, it's my character interviews.  I love doing them and I hope peeps think their fun to read.  If I had to choose ONE of those interviews, I have to go with Seth from the Covenant series by Jennifer L Armentrout.  That boy had me blushing.  You can check it out here. 

If you could eat dinner with any author or character, who would it be and why?

 

Oh, I'd want a group of authors AND characters - wouldn't that be fabulous!!! Let's see, I'd invite:

Alex & Aiden from the Covenant Series with the author Jennifer L. Armentrout (favs there),   

 

Madly & Jackson from the Madly series with the author M. Leighton (Michelle is so much fun & I LOVE Jackson), 

  

Chase & Rayna from the Protector series with the author M. R. Merrick (cause Matt is fun), and finally 

 

 Jace & Clary from the Mortal Instruments Series with the author Cassandra Clare (just cause I love Jace) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wouldn't that be fun?!?  Might have to have a few bloggers there too. 

So there ya go. Me.  Now I'm off to visit other blogs participating.  Let me know what you think of all this fun in the comments.  Thanks for visiting today.
