What is your favorite LJS book? NW9: Witch Light

Why is this your favorite book? I truly enjoyed the later few books in some ways i was able to relate to certain story lines, and in others i just loved the characters. And when wild powers were first introduced i was captivated. It was a wonderful plot twist and i'm anxiously awaiting Strange Fate

Why do you like LJS? I like LJ Smith's writing because of the great combination of adventure and romance. The books are not pansy romances but great thrillers. And they have such an everyday life back ground to them (aside from all the strange people) that you almost wish you could look over your shoulder and find a vampire. She makes these worlds and ideas seem possible, and that is thrilling.

What is your favorite book overall (of every author)? It isn't necessarily a book, but a poet who has many collections of his work. Pablo Neruda is my favorite writer at the moment, and i highly reccomend any of his love poems. (just a side note, they are bilingual poems in both spanish and english)

What character(s) did you identify with? Poppy North... your truest love is right under your nose :o)

What character(s) did you fall in love with? I loved Galen, he was calm and beautiful. I found that all of his passion was controlled, but always there.

What character(s) did you admire/want to be like? I think i admired them all. Each one was so passionate, strong, sensative or "sexy" in their own way. That they could seem human, dispite they lived in the pages of a book.

What is your goal in life? To live happily ever after. But before all that, experience life for all its ups and downs. I want to go to college, and will be going to college. I want to live near the man i love, and i will. I just want to pursue everything i love, and be allowed to love them.
