Hey everyone! Once again, here is another segment of Tuesday Talks. If you’re wondering what exactly is Tuesday Talks or how to get involved, be sure to check out the group on GoodReads. Each week has a new topic to discuss, so be sure to check out past posts and leave me some comments.

Have you ever met your favorite author, if so did it change the way you felt about their books?

If you have ever met your favorite author, then you are one lucky person! Unfortunately, I have never met any of my favorite authors, as I live in a place that doesn’t seem to get a lot of traffic author wise. There aren’t really a lot of people trying to make their way to Guam for book signings or book releases. It sucks for them though, because Guam is so beautiful and there are so many people here on this island that would kill to meet their favorite authors like myself.

I think if I were to ever meet any of my favorite authors, I would totally have a fangirl moment and not know what to say or even behave like a normal human being. I would want to pick their brains, find out what made them make these amazing books and how they have the strength and motivation to keep writing, especially when they have bouts of writer’s block. I would basically want to be their best friends and would absolutely die if they ever let me keep in touch. OMG, right?

Have you ever met your favorite author, or one of them if you have more than one like me? Let me know in the comments below!

Red Queen – Victoria Aveyard

March 2, 2016 by Leelynn @ Sometimes Leelynn Reads ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

This is a world divided by blood – red or silver.

The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change.

That is, until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the balance of power.

Fearful of Mare’s potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep would mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime.

But this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare has entered a dangerous dance – Reds against Silvers, prince against prince, and Mare against her own heart …

Matched – Ally Condie

In the Society, officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die.

Cassia has always trusted their choices. It’s hardly any price to pay for a long life, the perfect job, the ideal mate. So when her best friend appears on the Matching screen, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is the one…until she sees another face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. Now Cassia is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she’s known and a path no one else has ever dared follow—between perfection and passion.

Matched is a story for right now and storytelling with the resonance of a classic.
