We need your help!! (+giveaway bribe)

Melissa from i swim for oceans has decided to discontinue her blog. Smash graciously asked her if she could take over her Friday "Let's Talk" discussion feature and she was happy to pass along the torch. Kt (A Book Obsession) expressed interest in teaming up with Smash, so here we are! Melissa's meme was all about books, as her descriptions states here:

Let's Talk is a fun new weekly meme in which we discuss anything and everything about books! Whether it's a nagging issue in the blogosphere, or simply a fun discussion topic, we'll talk about it all! Each Friday, there will be a linky in which you can connect your own post, sharing your thoughts will all the participants. Each month, I'll update the post topics so you can prepare your very own Let's Talk post!

Smash and I would like to expand the topics to anything and everything. We not only want to talk books, but life, in general. Let's get personal (but respectfully so) and learn more about one another! Now, we are gathering information on what you would be interested in discussing, as well as any specific questions you may have.
