THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: Has any author ever had a huge influence on your reading? Who, and why?

My mom has. When I was young my Mom always encouraged me to read and to read anything. That is why she had such an influence on me. She never said I couldn’t read something, from comics to novels she just wanted me to read. She took us to the library every week and never put limits on how much we could check out. Thanks Mom.

This week’s random question: Did you get any books for Christmas? What are they? Did you buy them yourself, or were they given to you?

I did not get any books for Christmas this year. Bad thing but that is okay my Christmas was a great one either way. I am currently about to start Prince Lestat. I meant to start it last year and even marked it on my Goodreads but then I did not get it done. Holidays and all of that as you know they get busy and I had gifts to make! So I will be starting it as soon as I get something done for an Etsy customer. 🙂 I am nervous on whether or not I am going to like Prince Lestat but I used to be a huge Ricean so worth a try.

Tis the season! While my reading has slowed down due to the whole divorce thing my question has to do with the season. Do you find yourself reading less then usually this time of year? Or maybe you read more?

Alasdair Cynster known to his intimates as Lucifer decides to rusticate in the country before the matchmaking skills of London′s mamas become firmly focused on him, the last unwed Cynster. But an escape to Devonshire leads him straight to his destiny in the irresistible form of Phyllida Tallent, a willful, independent beauty of means who brings all his masterful Cynster instincts rioting to the fore. Lucifer isn′t about to deny his desire for Phyllida, and he′s determined to use all his seductive skills to enjoy the benefits of destiny′s choice without submitting to the parson′s noose.

“There’s power in the touch of another person’s hand. We acknowledge it in little ways, all the time. There’s a reason human beings shake hands, hold hands, slap hands, bump hands.

“It comes from our very earliest memories, when we all come into the world blinded by light and color, deafened by riotous sound, flailing in a suddenly cavernous space without any way of orienting ourselves, shuddering with cold, emptied with hunger, and justifiably frightened and confused. And what changes that first horror, that original state of terror?

“The touch of another person’s hands.

“Hands that wrap us in warmth, that hold us close. Hands that guide us to shelter, to comfort, to food. Hands that hold and touch and reassure us through our very first crisis, and guide us into our very first shelter from pain. The first thing we ever learn is that the touch of someone else’s hand can ease pain and make things better.

“That’s power. That’s power so fundamental that most people never even realize it exists.”
