1. What was your latest 5 star read?

I recently read Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron, and it was FAN-TASTIC!

Synopsis: It’s 200 years after Cinderella found her prince, but the fairy tale is over. Teen girls are now required to appear at the Annual Ball, where the men of the kingdom select wives based on a girl’s display of finery. If a suitable match is not found, the girls not chosen are never heard from again.

Sixteen-year-old Sophia would much rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than parade in front of suitors. At the ball, Sophia makes the desperate decision to flee, and finds herself hiding in Cinderella’s mausoleum. There, she meets Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her step sisters. Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all–and in the process, they learn that there’s more to Cinderella’s story than they ever knew . . .

2. Do you often DNF books?

No, but I have no problem stopping a book if I don’t like it.

3. What is your favorite dessert?

Chocolate soft-serve ice cream on a wafer cone with chocolate sprinkles. Yum-tastic!!

4. Do you enjoy rereading books?

Oh, yes! Most definitely! I taught high school English for almost 20 years, so I reread A TON of books. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth, The Odyssey, The Great Gatsby, and more.

I also reread my faves, especially when I’m in a lull or slump. Here are some books that I’ve reread (for pleasure, not for work):

5. Do you prefer physical books or ebooks or audiobooks?

Ebooks and physical. I like the convenience of an ebook, but there’s nothing like holding a beautiful book in your hand while reading.

6. Do you enjoy listening to audiobooks?

I do, though this is not my usual method of reading.

7. Do you watch booktube?

No, I’m a little clueless about Booktube and have no idea where to start.

8. What is your favorite post that you’ve ever written?

Hmm. I really liked my review of Anela Deen’s Beneath Cruel Fathoms. I also ADORED the book!

9. How did you choose your blog’s name?

Well, One Day More is my favorite song from Les Miserables, my favorite musical. One Book More is a tribute to my love of that musical as well as my love of books. I’m always looking for one book more! 🙂

10. How did you decide to start your blog?

Well, I love to read and talk about books, but didn’t have as many options to do this since I left the teaching profession. Book blogging was my solution!

  3. I am a bookworm; lover of classics, fantasy, and mythology. I have not yet reread a book- except for The Odyssey and Illiad- those stories I read in high school for class, but not the entire works; this time around I did.
