It’s time once again for the Dystopian Giveaway Hop, hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer & My Shelf Confessions! It’s almost like carrying on the spooky sensibility of Halloween for another week…So, for my stop on the hop, I have a selection of dystopians, some of them old and some of them […]
National Novel Writing Month, more fondly known as NaNoWriMo, is back! Writers, both professional and amateur, hunker down for thirty days of exhausting, frustrating and exhilarating madness. Having participated twice before, I’m well aware of the folly of attempting NaNoWriMo. You must be willing to throw caution to the wind, write like a fiend every […]

I can’t believe it’s July already, although from our recent heat wave, I guess it’s not that hard to believe. Temps are in the 100’s in Southern California right now, and I’m not talking about the desert! Good thing reading a great book doesn’t require going outside (unless you have a pool or the beach […]
Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, and is a great way to share your book haul with other bloggers! I’m being pretty good about staying away from NetGalley and Edelweiss, and I’ve only slipped up a couple of times (!!). I really am trying to be good and catch up. It’s been a […]
