I recently finished your Moonshadow Bay Series and I love January Jaxson and the entire cast of characters. You never disappoint, but I adored them so much I think I finished them in just over a week. I enjoy reading anytime of the year but add a hot chocolate or tea with a cozy blanket and I am set. However, I trip library hopping or a trip to my favorite bookstores is a surefire way to get me out of the house.
My favorite character (currently) I guess is between Ember (the Wild Hunt) & January (MoonShadow Bay). I love Ember’s fierceness & her love her Herne. She may be from “the wrong side o& the tracks when it comes to the Fae but that doesn’t stop her from being who she is, bein* brave & standing up for other outcasts. I love January because she is older than most heroines in paranormal romance books but she is coming into her own & learning to accept herself & rebuild her self esteem & image after being in an emotionally abusive relationship. I love seeing her grow not only in her magic but her sense of self as well.
My favorite winter activity is curling up on a cold day w/a good book. (Truthfully, I love reading no matter the season! Lol)
I love Yasmine’s work & know that when I buy her books I am in for an original story & will thoroughly enjoy the book/series! I have been reading her for years & love, love her stories!
I am in the US. Live in Lone Tree , Colorado. I have loved all of the characters in all of the books. Right now I am loving Ember Kearney. I love how she always wants to help her friends. I have just started the series, but am excited to see how her and Herne’s relationship develops. I am also excited to see how Angel comes out of her shell. My favorite winter activity is sitting by the fire with hot coco and curled up with a good book, especially a Yasmine book.
I live in Nashville Tennessee in the United States my favorite character will always be Camille I believe she is a little bit of Yasmine in her however I have lived and breathed Otherworld for years..it was this series that made me fall in love with the genre but let’s not forget Smokey…dear lawd let’s not forget him! ❤️ winter activities would be diamond art, bath bomb making, writing, and snuggling with my goggly eyed Boston Terriers!
I live in the USA. My favorite character is January. I love her attitude and that she is a witch! My favorite winter time activity is staying inside and snuggling with my kitties under a blanket while I read a good book.
I am from the US, Parker Colorado. I am soooo over 18. My favorite character is Raj. I really want to learn more about our little gargoyles’ powers and by extension Raven. My favorite activity is loosing myself in a book, winter or summer. You and your books have given me beautiful worlds to travel to with incredible friends to make.
I’m in the U.S.A. I really like January and all her relationships. My favorite winter activity is reading under a warm blanket.
I live in North Carolina and am well over 18.. I love Yasmine’s characters. Lately, January and Marquette hold special places, probably because of things in my life currently. Life brings hard changes and this year we’ve had some doozies starting first thing. Those 2 characters have been part of my mental health therapy this year. That and the holidays lights and music.
I’m not international, and fairly close to Yasmine.
My current favorite character is Emerald from Chintz N China. I’m loving that I can read them on KU!!!
My favorite winter activity is to curl on the sofa (or bed) and read a good book. I’ve been an avid reader for over 40 years.
Happy Holidays to everyone!!!
I’m local to Yasmine. Not international.
My favorite character these days is Emerald from Chintz N China books. I recently finished that series on Kindle (and thank you, thank you, thank for doing that!!).
My favorite winter activity is snuggling up inside with a form of cocoa, and napping when the mood strikes (which is after the cocoa as I’m reading a book).
Happy Holidays from me to you!!
Over 18 (DoB 8/14/90), in PA, USA.
I think my favorite character might actually be Rhiannon from Indigo Court. I see a lot of myself in her, and yet find myself wishing I could be more like her.
My favorite winter activity is something I haven’t done since I was just a boy. Dad would tie my sled to the back of the ATV, and we’d tear around the yard. I swear he had as much fun trying to throw me off as I did riding around and trying to hang on.
My favorite activity is just walking outside in the snow and seeing all the world in beautiful white.
My favorite character in your books would have to be Kerris.
I live in the US, in Illinois.

My favorite winter activity is watching the old recording of the WPIX Yule Log on YouTube.

Hi, USA born, I am 72 and love Maddy–actually all of your people in the stories. My favorite activity (year round) is lying on my bed, reading a book (either Kindle or Paper) with cats piled around me. I even read while watching tv…actually there are 20 minutes of commercials even if you Watch the show. I do not stream. Last night was a four cat night, out of the 6 who can get to my bed. The eldest sleeps alone in the kitchen (3 beds to try out). since tonight is windchill 14 in South Georgia, I may get 5+me in the bed. And I DO need a new kindle!
I am in the USA

It is very difficult to pick a favorite character, because I love different things about each of them. In thinking about it though, I will have to go with the character that was my into to Yasmine’s work, Emerald. I fell immediately in love with her and her life. Since then, I have journeyed with Yasmine through many different worlds and characters and am always finding the ride to be so enjoyable and entertaining.
Winter activities- even though I live in the South, we do get rather cold at times, though usually nowhere near as cold as the PNW! I love to curl up in my bed, usually with a heating pad for all those achy places that come with the extended stay on the planet!, and either read on my Kindle or play online games or stream movies.
I live in the US, and I am very much over 18. My favorite character is Emerald O’Brien. My favorite winter activity is being curled up on my loveseat, with a cup of hot chocolate, a good book, and a cat on my lap.
