This or That? with Kate Hinderer
Tweet Please welcome Kate Hinderer to the blog today! She is the author of Aurora Undefined, which is currently on an epic blog tour, and I’m happy to have her stop by Hopelessly Devoted Bibliophile. I asked Kate a series of questions, and let her choose her answer. She was sweet enough to even give us a little bit of background! Let’s read, shall we? Dark Chocolate or Milk Chocolate? – I don’t eat chocolate. Since I was little it never agreed with me and now it actually gives me headaches. Weird, right?! Baking or cooking? – I actually love…

Between his practicing, teaching and the weekly concerts I attend, I’m pretty much immersed in…

Favorite Books with Cat Patrick
Tweet Lucky day! Cat Patrick is here to share a bit about herself in honor of her newest book, Forgotten. The best part? She’s here to share her favorite books! For bibliophiles like us, what could be better? Hubby and I try hard not to spoil our girls. In our house, you don’t get a treat for riding quietly in the basket at Target—unless you consider paper towels a treat, which under certain circumstances, I guess they are—and the soft lovie at the check stand is cute to pet while Mommy pays but we always need to tell him “bye,…
