This week's question: If you were to get a tattoo what it would say or what would the graphic be? Or if you have a tattoo share a picture and its meaning. - submitted by Second Run Reviews. I don't currently have any tattoos and at almost 36 yrs old I'm not sure if I'll ever get one. I love the idea of them and am quite fond of them actually. But because it's permanent I have yet to find something that I loved enough to want on my body forever. I have always felt that if something major happened in my life, specifically something with my children, that I would want something in ...

This week's question: If you could step into one characters shoes (in a book) and be them for a day who would it be and why? Also if you want to be creative, what scene?  I thought about choosing my current read (which at the time of this posting is Marrow  by Tarryn Fisher) to pick a character but oh no, it is one depressingly dark book and I wouldn't want to be any of the characters in it. So instead I'll go with my excitement over the new Shadowhunters show coming soon on ABC Family and use The Mortal Instruments as my inspiration for my answer. I'll go with Clary Fray for a day -...

Soon she'll leave behind the artists' colony where she grew up―hippie dad, tofu since birth, yurt―and join her boyfriend and best friend on the East Coast. It was the plan…until Dakota finds out her boyfriend and best friend hooked up behind her back.  Hurt and viciously betrayed, Dakota pours out her heart on a piece of paper, places it in a bottle, and hurls it into the ocean.

Except what if his straight-laced life doesn’t jive with the free-spirited girl he’s only seen from afar? As Jack creates a persona he believes she’ll love, they slowly fall for each other with each new letter. Now Jack...
