The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on my blog and share news about what’s coming up in the week ahead. Last week on FYFA (and in my life): A much more relaxing week around here. The biggest thing going on was getting ready for the 2015 Book Blog Discussion Challenge (I spent way too […]
I actually really love blog tours. I know there are lots of people who don’t like them, but I do. I LOVE finding great self-published or Indie books and showing them some love – spreading the word. Since I’m a freelance editor as well as a blogger, I know how much work these authors put into getting their books out there, and I love being a part of that. I have found some AMAZING books […]
Zodiac was a really unique and compelling sci-fi/fantasy read. I loved the worlds that Russell created and the story was intriguing. Rhoma spent her childhood being taught by her eccentric mother how to read the stars and access the power of the psy network. When she is sixteen, her world is all but destroyed (something that she foresaw, but no one believed her). Rhoma doesn’t believe that this was an accident. She thinks that the […]
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten New to Me Authors That I Found in 2014 This one was pretty easy. There are LOTS of amazing authors that I discovered this year! The only problem was narrowing it down to ten. So, in order to pare things down a bit, I decided to focus on three different categories (see them below!) Awesome Self-Pubbed Authors that I Discovered in 2014 (and have read more than one of their books): […]
I had really high expectations for this book because of the way people raved about it. And, for the most part, it lived up to those expectations. The only area where I felt like the book lagged a little was in the fan fiction parts, but that was really just because of the structure of the book. This book is really more New Adult than Young Adult – BUT it doesn’t fit the NA stereotype […]
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on my blog and share news about what’s coming up in the week ahead. Last week on FYFA (and in my life): Ah, see things are pretty much back to normal here at FYFA. I won NaNoWriMo on Sunday, which was incredibly exciting!! Now I just need […]
I’ve been thinking lately about all the ways that my personality affects my blogging (there are LOTS of them!). One major issue I have in life is my lack of organization. I’m the queen of ADHD – I need solid deadlines in order to accomplish anything, otherwise I tend to get bogged down and overwhelmed. I do okay with scheduled posts (like reviews and things that I have to do for tours) – but the […]
L.A. Starkey is my newest editing client. She’s recently released the first two books in her Soul Keepers Trilogy. I don’t review books I edit (since it seems like a conflict of interest), but I DO want to let all of my readers know about these awesome books and give you a chance to win them. Also, check out L.A. Starkey’s top ten things she’s addicted to! And Check Out Book #2! 10 Things I’m Addicted to! […]
When I got this book from NetGalley, I didn’t know too much about it except for a vague idea that it was fantasy and the absolute knowledge that everyone seems to love it. I was fairly certain I would enjoy it too, since I tend to enjoy fantasy and the synopsis intrigued me. I had no idea that it was really historical fiction (I loved the author’s note at the end that told about what […]
My Goings On in November: This was a very light month for me on the blog, mostly because … I won NaNoWriMo!!! (Meaning, I wrote the 50,000 required words to win – I haven’t actually finished my book, but I am darn proud of my progress, especially since it was looking pretty bleak there for a little while.) This was a really tough goal for me, so I’m thrilled! I did a first edit of L.A Starkey’s upcoming […]
