First, let me start by saying that this cover drives me nuts. I can’t seem to remember that Mistborn is the series name, not the book name, because the series name is so huge and the title is so teeny weeny. I’m sure this must have been a marketing decision to get the series name [...]

For some reason, I’ve always wanted to create a Listmania list but never have. But recently I was asked (again) for some recommendations on writing books. Since I don’t use writing books, I don’t feel I’m necessarily the best person to ask, but then again, maybe I am. Because I’ve been asked so often, I [...]

***This post will have spoilers so don’t read if you plan on reading the books!*** I started reading Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse series when the first book was released. I had never read Charlaine Harris before, but I was desperately glomming everything paranormal, long before paranormal was “in” (when I had to hunt out small [...]

I only got home Tuesday night from my two week trip to North Dakota/San Francisco/Nashville and I’m packing again. By this time tomorrow I’ll be in Atlanta, where I’ll fly to Los Angeles and then to Auckland, New Zealand. I’ll be gone for two weeks again, visiting New Zealand and Australia. I know I was [...]

You haz them, I wants them. Okay, Shannon is rubbing off on me. And I just realized that the lolcat type speech is quite similar to Golem’s. My presshhhiioous, I wantsss ittt.

Technorati Tags: recommended,review Steal the Dragon by Patricia Briggs Read more about this book… I’m playing with a new plugin on Windows Live Writer. I like that I can do this in 30 seconds. I can add a mini-review if I want, or not at all, just the above image. Since this is a TBR [...]

By the skin of my teeth! How can it be the third Wednesday already? This month I actually read 6 TBR books, but only two TBR authors. I read three books by Patricia Briggs and three by Lois McMaster Bujold. Okay, technically I read four by Patricia Briggs, but one of them was a new [...]

I almost didn’t make it by the deadline! I’m getting ready to leave for another work trip (to Florida, just for the weekend) so this is going to be a little more brief, but I didn’t want to miss participating in TBR Day. It’s actually been a great thing for me, because it’s motivated me [...]

The book has well-drawn characters, a fast-paced, interesting, compelling storyline, enough romance to satisfy the romance-lovers and it doesn’t leave you hanging at the end but it does leave you wishing you could read the next one right now, because you want to stay in the world Ann has built and wallow around for awhile.

I’ve been in a serious reading slump. Not that I’m not reading, but all my reading for almost 6 weeks has been almost exclusively work–edits and submissions (though I did read and finish Right Here, Right Now by HelenKay Dimon. Fabulous dialogue!). I have some great books that I want to read but my motivation, [...]
