  1. I like to read YA books on a rainy day.. Nothing in particular, just something that I wouldn't wanna put down.
    Either that or any book by DeeAnne Gist. The rain would be more romantic with a romance book :)

  2. I like to read romance and sci-fi. My favorite all time read is "If I Pay Thee Not In Gold". It is an older book but still a good one. I always have Pride and Prejudice playing in the background.

  4. I would say that my fave rainy day movie is Princess Bride! And my fave rainy day read is a good historical romance - something I don't read enough of lately, like Bertrice Small or Madeline Hunter. :)

  6. My favorite book to read on a rainy day is whatever book I'm reading at the time. I usually have so many books on my TBR pile, I'd rather read something new than go back and reread something.

  9. Thanks for a fun post! I love to watch Pride and Prejudice w/ Kiera Knightly or completely opposite, the Aliens trilogy. Or if I want to read I shut my eyes, spin, and grab from my TBR mountain range :)

Book Tour: Bring Me Back by Karen Booth

I’m Karen, a Midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on 80s music, Judy Blume, and the films of John Hughes. An early preoccupation with Rock ‘n’ Roll led me to spend my twenties working my way from intern to executive in the music industry. Much of my writing revolves around the world of backstage passes and band dynamics. My first full-length novel, “Bring Me Back”, is a story I had in my head for nearly eight years before my fingers hit the keyboard.

When I’m not creating fictional musicians, I’m listening to everything from old-school Cheap Trick to Duran Duran to Superchunk with my kids, honing my Southern
