“In a class by itself.”

After seven days of nominations and seven days of votes cast…Mocha Girls Read June’s book selection winner is Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James.  Take a minute to see what this book and the author are all about.

Synopsis

Daunted by the singular tastes and dark secrets of the beautiful, tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele has broken off their relationship to start a new career with a Seattle publishing house.
But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought, and when he proposes a new arrangement, Anastasia cannot resist. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and Anastasia learns more about the harrowing past of her damaged, driven and demanding Fifty Shades.
While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her, and make the most important decision of her life.

Why I Love Wednesday!

On By

Reflections of a Bookaholic

Mocha Girl Alexis from Reflections of a Bookaholic started a Wednesday Meme called Why I Love Wednesday.  What is a Meme you ask?  According to wikipedia…The term “Internet meme” refers to a catchphrase or concept that spreads rapidly from person to person via the Internet, largely through Internet-based email, blogs, forums, Imageboards, social networking sites and instant messaging.  Basically, a topic from the meme host (Alexis) is posted on participating blogs with blog authors answering it on their site (here).

The topic this Wednesday is…Book Couple

Basically, who is your favorite book couple?  Now that is a hard one for me.  I have read only a few books that I think the couples in them belong together.  Since they are always having a hard time being together anyways.  So I thought lets have a face-off on two extremely popular love triangles in fiction.

Number One: Twilight 

The Hunger Games by Suzanne CollinsAre you team Jacob or team Edward?
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins Who do you think is the best man for Bella?

Number Two:  The Hunger Games

Twilight by Stephenie MeyerAre you team Peeta or team Gale?Twilight by Stephenie Meyer Who do you think is the best man for Katnis?

Thank you Sarah at I’m Loving Books for the great Team Stickers!
