Let’s Discuss Update – Yep, I Gave Up on the Complaining Author

Let’s Discuss Update – Yep, I Gave Up on the Complaining Author

So, a lot of you read my post awhile back about Authors that Complain. There was one particular indie author whose books I loved, but she drove me crazy with her negativity on her blog (she basically said she hated her book and only wrote it to please fans and then a week or so later proceeded to complain about the fact that said fans hadn’t bought the book – well, if you tell me […]

Review – The Walled City by Ryan Graudin

Review – The Walled City by Ryan Graudin

I have to say that I really sort of fell in love with this book. I went into it thinking that it was going to be a dystopian, and it really sort of is, except at the end, if you read the author’s notes, you’ll find that the book is based on a real life place – a place that actually existed. Make sure that you head over to this site to see pictures of Kowloon […]

Let’s Discuss – Why I Can’t Choose a Favorite (of Anything!)

Let’s Discuss – Why I Can’t Choose a Favorite (of Anything!)

I have a problem. As a book blogger, what’s the #1 answer you get asked? What’s your favorite book? Or it might be a slight variation on this. What’s your favorite: author, series, genre, book boyfriend … you get the idea. But, my problem is, I am absolutely incapable of answering this question. Like, seriously incapable. I might be able to come up with a list of favorites (though even that is hard for me sometimes), […]

Review – Talon by Julie Kagawa

Review – Talon by Julie Kagawa

Talon was one of my most anticipated reads of the year. So much so, that I was almost afraid to read it. I LOVE Kagawa (was so excited to meet her at BEA) and I also adore dragons, so this seemed like a match made in heaven! Then some reviews started trickling in, and they weren’t all that favorable – I started to get very nervous. But, on the positive side I knew a little bit more […]

Let’s Discuss – Do you NaNoWriMo

Let’s Discuss – Do you NaNoWriMo

From the time that I was eight years old and won the Young Authors writing competition for my grade, I have wanted to be an author. I’ve had stories brewing in my head for years, but I’ve never managed to get more than a chapter on paper. In college I took a short story class and I wrote some of those, but I’ve never gotten anywhere even remotely close to writing a novel. So, this year, I decided […]
