It’s been a while since I’ve done this sort of post–and I do apologize for that! Finally being self-hosted should make this a lot easier. Now if only I had all sorts of time to find those deals… I discovered a new-to-me blog tonight while hanging out on Twitter, and she is currently running a ... Read More »
If you have been paying attention to my status updates on Facebook, you may have seen me give some pretty vague details about an upcoming giveaway that will appeal to anyone who is writing or has written an unpublished novel. I am ecstatic to finally reveal all of the details! As a participant in the ... Read More »
It’s almost hard to believe that the intended audience of E.J. Patten’s RETURN TO EXILE is ages 8 and up. At 500 pages, this is a pretty hefty tome. But once a reader gets lost in the story, it becomes a book that you will not want to put down until you have read each and ... Read More »
My complex’s pool opens for the summer this Memorial Day, and I can think about nothing but bikinis. I think the last time I wore a string bikini I was 19 or 20. When I started dating my future husband a few years later, I slowly began packing on the pounds. Nearly every activity that ... Read More »
Shakespeare’s ROMEO AND JULIET was required reading in my 9th grade english class. For me, that was also the same year that Baz Luhrmann’s ROMEO + JULIET came out in theaters and I sobbed senselessly as Romeo and Juliet met their demise. In 10th grade, my english teacher sort of ruined the “romance” of ROMEO AND JULIET for me ... Read More »
When I started this blog late last year, I never anticipated that I would ever have more book review requests than I could keep up with. Lately, I have been getting several requests a week and I still have e-books left over from December when I put it out there on Kindle Boards that I ... Read More »
I have had my eye on BUMPED by Megan McCafferty since before it was released, and was very excited a few months ago when it was a bargain e-book buy at $0.99. Some of the reviews I read from trusted sources were not very promising, so I kept putting this one off and reading other ... Read More »
A few years ago, a memory surfaced. I remembered three words: “stone”, “words”, and “Zoe”. They were from a book I had read as a child. I knew it was a ghost story, one I had checked out from my school’s library. Not a book that I ever owned that would be unearthed in a ... Read More »
It’s been months since I have picked up and read a book that focuses largely on vampires. Bookstores are plagued with these sorts of books, and after reading quite a few of them, they all sort of start to blend together. I’m not sure why THE IMMORTAL RULES by Julie Kagawa appealed to me so much ... Read More »
It’s not uncommon for my family to grab a bite to eat after 9 p.m. (sometimes even later!) on any night of the week. In Utah–and I’m sure other places as well–it becomes challenging to find somewhere that is open past 9 p.m. on a Sunday. We found out just how difficult tonight when my ... Read More »
