Guest Post by Christine S. Feldman + Giveaway
Please give a warm welcome to Christine S. Feldman, who stops by Book Lovers Inc. to celebrate the release of The Bargain! Christine is a tomboy wannabe just like me and here she talks about Tomboys & Romance and why it works so well. Join us and if you answer Christine’s question at the end you could even win a copy of The Bargain! Christine, take it away!
I am not a tomboy, not really. Nor am I a girly-girl, although I do occasionally like to sneak a fancy gown into a dressing room and try it on just for fun, even if I can’t even begin to think of anyplace I’d ever wear something like that (although part of me thinks it would be fun to get all dolled up with a tiara or something and go grocery shopping, just to see the looks on other people’s faces. Is …

Description:
The traveling carnival is a leftover of a bygone era, a curiosity lurking on the outskirts of town. It is a place of contradictions—the bright lights mask the peeling paint; a carnie in greasy overalls slinks away from the direction of the Barker’s seductive call. It is a place of illusion—is that woman’s beard real? How can she live locked in that watery box?
And while many are tricked by sleight of hand, there are hints of something truly magical going on. One must remain alert and learn quickly the unwritten rules of this dark show. To beat the carnival, one had better have either a whole lot of …

Book Lovers Book Club: Discussion Questions – Soulless by Gail Carriger
Morning everyone,
Today I’ve decided to discuss Soulless by Gail Carriger with a few questions to kick start your brains this Monday morning.
You can see my review of Soulless here.
Given the opportunity to become a clavinger or drone, would you do it? Why/Why not?
Alexia doesn’t mind destroying the vampire at the beginning of Soulless, was it because of the badly tied cravat or his destruction of her precious treacle tart? What dessert is worth killing over?
The comedic tone of the novel was ever present even when the novel was at it’s darkest plot-threads. Do you think this added to the depth of the novel and characters or did it trivialize the plot?
Comedy is sprinkled all throughout Soulless, even during the darkest times. Does this deepen the story or just downplay the seriousness of the situation?
Will you be reading Changeless?
Don’t forget to vote for next months book here.
And also to …

Around The Bookish World: Week-In-Review
Welcome to this week’s news post! I think everyone must have heard about J.K Rowling’s secret identity being leaked online, Goodreads sued for copyright infringement and much more news in the world of books and publishing.
The huge news this week is all about J.K. Rowling’s secret identity as being debut Mystery writer, Richard Galbraith who wrote THE CUCKOO’S CALLING which was released earlier this year. But the whole story behind how her real identity being leaked is just as interesting which ranged from theories of the publisher intentionally outing the author to increase sales to Rowling herself. But the real reason was uncovered yesterday when her law firm confirmed it was leaked by one of their lawyers who told his wife who then told her BFF. The BFF then posted a coy tweet which others and papers like The Times managed to prove it was Rowling who …
