 Today's book hangover is... Hold the Light by April McGowan with guest blogger Nicole Santana.  A snippet from the book... "Unremarkable. Amber glanced out the streaming windowpane at the cityscape below her. The rain washed all the color from the sky, trees, and buildings, covering the world in grayscale brushstrokes. She traced a raindrop with her finger as she'd done as a child, watching it gather speed, collecting friends as it went, only to splat useless on the sill, pool, and drizzle away." Check out Nicole's review and interviw with the author HERE. About Nicole Santana I have been an avid reader since birth. When life gets messy, and even when it doesn’t, I go to books! Books are the perfect place to retreat to when life is too overwhelming or when I need a fun escape. I wear a lot of hats: I am a wife, a mother, a sister to four brothers and one sister, a daughter, an aunt, and a teacher. Reading is one way to center myself so all these hats don’t weigh heavy on me. While it can get overwhelming, I do love all that God has put into my life! I am a very blessed lady. A few questions about the blogger and blogging... 1. How long have you been blogging?
I am brand new to blogging. I just started in May! But, I've been interested in blogging and reviewing novels for awhile. I really have no idea what I'm doing, but I've found an amazing community of authors and bloggers who are helping me out along the way. It's been a real blessing from God! 2. What got you started blogging? I've been wanting to start my own blog for a while, but I've been a bit intimidated. I mean, who cares what I think? But, one day this past May the feeling to create my own blog was strong. I prayed to God for about a day, and felt He was wanting me to begin this new journey. So, after praying, I took the plunge and bought my first blog site. I truly couldn't be more pleased. The community I've found myself a part of is priceless! I'm digitally surrounded by women who love Jesus and love fiction. It's wonderful!!! 3. Who are some new authors you have discovered since you started blogging?
4. What author and/or blog tour group have you been blogging for the longest? Since I'm brand new, it's about the same. I am a Litfuse reader and a Netgalley reader. I also do First-line Fridays with you guys. I have also been a part of many book launch teams: Tamera Alexander's, Katie Ganshert's, Roseanna White's, Randy Singer's, Cindy Woodsmall's, and Sarah Ladd's. It's been an amazing few months! 5. What is your favorite thing about being a blogger? Being a part of a community of readers and authors is the best part of being a blogger. I absolutely love "meeting" all of the new bloggers and authors. And, everyone has been so nice and accepting of me. I truly feel blessed by God in this new endeavor!
