March For the Love of Reading 2023 #Giveaway Hop! #ReadMoreBooks #Reading #BTEvents

Read Across America Week runs from March 2-6 this year. It begins on Dr. Suess' birthday, but the entire month of March is dedicated to reading.

Why is reading so important?

Well, according to Healthline.com, reading improves brain performance, reduces stress, aids in sleep, lowers blood pressure and heart rate, helps fight depression, increases the ability to empathize with other people, increases your vocabulary and comprehension, and could help you live longer!

With so many benefits, why wouldn't you want to read more?

As an avid reader, I read all year long. Since I was a child, I've been reading anything I can get my hands on. Not only am I a reader, but I worked in a bookstore for several years, and I'm also an author. I'm not kidding when I say reading is my life! :)

And since I love book recommendations, I thought I'd share a few with you!

Spell of Snow by S.J. Pierce ~ A Cursed All Hallows' Eve Author Spotlight Interview @sjpierce_author #CursedHallowsEve #yapnr #witch

Blurb:

Life can be a witch...

Six years ago, I discovered my powers - I can make flowers bloom. But in a world where anything magical is met with judgement and swinging from a rope, I have to be careful... until one day I wasn't. The Witch Hunters have been alerted, and now no one, including my loved ones, can save me.

My name is Rosanna Frey, Snow Queen of Ipswich, and this is my story.

Excerpt:

I’ve imagined a million times what it would be like right before you’re hanged—rope taut around your neck. Trembling like a leaf. Tears streaming. Life desperately flashing before your eyes in broken fractals; all the best and worst memories in chronological order.

But none of those daydreams were anywhere near accurate.

Numbness consumed me. If I was shaking or crying, I couldn’t tell. A self-preservation thing, to be sure.

Or maybe it was shock.

My brain didn’t register sound, my thoughts stationary.

Mouths opening and closing in front of me. Crying? Shouting. Everyone’s eyes jerked to the man beside the buggy I was standing on. He was reading aloud my crimes. Punishable by death.

Witchcraft.

I frantically searched the crowd for Jacob, my love. He didn’t come. He couldn’t bear to watch.

Some of them covered their eyes. Some looked away. Some watched on, eyes burning flames of hatred. Die, Rosanna! Satan’s seed.

Eyes screwed shut, my lips parted to release a scream, but the wood beneath my bare feet dragged away and I plummeted to my death with a soundless gasp.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW

Hello and welcome, readers! We have S.J. Pierce here with us today. S.J., thanks for visiting us.

How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?

I’ve been writing ten years! A story idea came to me, and the characters wouldn’t leave me alone until I let them out.

Tell us about your title featured in: A Cursed All Hallows’ Eve

A Spell of Snow is a YA paranormal romance set in my bestselling Captivated Series world. It’s a spin-off and a standalone. I hope you adore the characters as much as I do!

How did you come up with the storyline?

I loved the idea of exploring the same beings (angel hybrids and witches) that were in the Captivated Series but ones that lived in an earlier time and in a different place.

What inspires you to write?

Everything. Every heartbreak and happy moment. Every interaction with people and animals. Triumphs and failures…you name it. I find inspiration in all things.

Tell us about your other books:

All my series are linked together! My adult PNR, my YA PNR, and even my YA Dystopian series: They’re all in the same universe. I like for my readers to experience different facets of the same world.
