Blog Tour: The Rules For Disappearing By: Ashley Elston, Guest Post and Giveaway!


Synopsis via Goodreads:
She’s been six different people in six different places: Madeline in Ohio, Isabelle in Missouri, Olivia in Kentucky . . . But now that she’s been transplanted to rural Louisiana, she has decided that this fake identity will be her last.

Witness Protection has taken nearly everything from her. But for now, they’ve given her a new name, Megan Rose Jones, and a horrible hair color. For the past eight months, Meg has begged her father to answer one question: What on earth did he do – or see – that landed them in this god-awful mess? Meg has just about had it with all the Suits’ rules — and her dad’s silence. If he won’t help, it’s time she got some answers for herself.

But Meg isn’t counting on Ethan Landry, an adorable Louisiana farm boy who’s too smart for his own good. He knows Meg is hiding something big. And it just might get both of them killed. As they embark on a perilous journey to free her family once and for all, Meg discovers that there’s only one rule that really matters — survival.

I am so  excited to have a guest post from Ashley today talking about her reading habits, Enjoy!



I love to read, which I’m sure is the true for most authors, but what surprised me the most was how my reading habits have changed since I started down the path to publication.
 
Before, I was one of those readers that got hooked on theme and gobbled up every book with that premise I could find. I can remember when I went through my “spy” phase and fell in love with books like: THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE by Ken Follett, the Bourne series by Robert Ludlum and THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER by Tom Clancy. Then something else would catch my eye, the sweeping sagas of THE THORNBIRDS by Colleen McCullough and THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH by Ken Follett, and I would get lost in those for a while. And, of course, I love a good series: Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia and Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
 
But it’s a little different now. Most of the books I’ve read this year are books that haven’t been published yet, whether it was an ARC of a fellow Lucky 13er or a work in progress from one of my critique partners, and it’s changed how I read. One minute, I’m fully immersed in the MG underwater adventure of THE NEPTUNE PROJECT by Polly Holyoke and then my next read will be a fabulous YA thriller work in progress by Megan Miranda or Elle Cosimano. I know this genre jumping is normal for most readers – but it was hard for me at first!
 
But this change has been good for me. I’m really enjoying mixing it up and it is extremely cool knowing you’re reading something that hasn’t even hit the shelves yet. I’m also appreciating each story more since I’m not immediately following it with something else very similar. Change is good!
