Sunshine Award!!

I was awarded the Sunshine Award from Lena (Love of a Lifetime)

The rules are:

1. Answer the 8 questions the person who awarded you asked
2. Nominate 8 new people (no tag-backs) and notify them on their blog
3. Ask 8 new questions (or reuse the ones you were asked) for your nominees to answer

Lena's questions:

1.   What's your favorite kind of music?

I don't know if I have a FAVORITE. I mostly listen to Christian music, but the genres vary. I love pop, rock, hip-hop, rap, praise&worship... I guess if I had to choose, I'd pick pop. ;)

2.   What are your favorite party games?

I like card games a lot. I also like various games on the Wii.

3.   What's your favorite holiday drink?

I love sparkling juices.

4.   What would you say is your worst fear?

Don't know if this is my worst fear, but tornadoes/bad weather freak me out. :|

5.   What's your favorite hobby?

Uhhh.... reading! :) I also like crocheting. :D

6.   Who's your favorite author?

Now, this is a tough question! I have so many favorite authors! Robin Parrish, Brandilyn Collins, Colleen Coble, Lisa T. Bergren... I could go on and on, but I won't. I do have a list of some of my favorites, though, if you want to check it out.

7.   Have you ever received any other Blogger awards?

Yes, I have received six other blogs awards - Liebster Blog Award, One Lovely Blog Award, Versatile Blogger Award, Tell Me About Yourself Award, Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award, and Helpful Blogger Award.

8.   What's your favorite climate?

The {Booker} Award

Abbi, from Christian Novels, gave me The {Booker} Award recently and I'm so excited about it! I love receiving blog awards and the rules for this one are great!

Thanks, Abbi, for passing this award on to me! :)

The Rules:

1. This award is for book bloggers only. To receive this award the blogger's blog must be 50% about books (this includes writing blogs or reader blogs).

2. When you accept this award you must also share what your top five all time favorite books are. Going over five is encouraged.

3. You must pass this award on to five to ten other book blogs that you adore :)

Here are some of my favorite books (not completely in order):

Corridor by Robin Parrish

Waterfall, Cascade, Torrent, and Bourne (all a part of the River of Time series) by Lisa T. Bergren

Abomination by Colleen Coble

Beckon by Tom Pawlik

Gone to Ground by Brandilyn Collins

Vigilante by Robin Parrish

In Too Deep by Mary Connealy

Skin by Ted Dekker

Oh, I also love the Patrick Bowers Files by Steven James (they are really suspenseful and definitely thrillers!)

That's all I can think of right now... While most of those are books I've read recently (2011 to 2012), I'm sure there are others - I just can't think of them. LOL :|
