A Note:

6/2/13

I once told myself: IF I am accepted into grad school, this blog would no longer be updated. As it turns out, in April, I received news of my acceptance for the Fall 2013 semester, where I will attain a Master's degree of Science in Nutrition.

Running a blog, as many of you may already know, is a demanding side job once the excitement wears off. And once I fell out of the blogging community's loop (have you SEEN how many blogs there are now? Wow!), it was like the kiss of death. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't get into a blogging routine once this happened due to the disconnect I felt from the community.

So I took a break. I struggled with the loss and with missing my blog. And then I realized I didn't have to run Book Faery to still be a book reviewer; I could read my books and post reviews online. I'm still a book review blogger, just not in the traditional sense.

I'll still be online. You can chat with me on Twitter, where I'll be posting links to my reviews and talking books. I'll also be posting links to nutrition articles. And if you'd like to connect with me where I guarantee I will post reviews, just add me as a friend on Goodreads.

So that's all, folks! It's been a fun and amazing journey, and I thank you all for listening to my thoughts about books. I hope we all can keep in touch elsewhere :)

    I love a good spin-off series. For example I loved Bloodlines and it is a spin-off of Vampire Academy. I love learning more about secondary characters and staying in a world that I already love. Thanks for the giveaway.

    I have actually never read a spin off series. I think it is a good idea, though. One of the things I like about series is the secondary characters, so I guess this would give you a chance to learn more about them.

    Spin-offs are great because you get to stay in the same world and continue with some of the characters.

    I enjoy reading spin-off series, it lets the readers learn more about those secondary characters, especially when you really enjoyed them from the original story and world.

    I absolutely enjoy spin-off series, it's part of the reason I continue reading... just have to know what happens to characters that may not have been the focus but still deserve some much needed attention.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    I do if it's done right. Like Patricia Briggs' Alpha and Omega series. I love hearing from the POV of Charles and Anna as well as hearing from Bran. I love that we get to hear from them and see that they (Charles) is not as stoic as we first thought.
