My Goings On in March: I barely blogged in March! I’m feeling a bit behind on just about everything lately, and it came through in my blogging. I think this was the least number of posts I’ve put up in a month since my very early days of blogging. On the positive side, school is ramping down for our homeschool co-op, and I should have a lot more time once that happens. And since my […]
It’s time for the March Wrap-Up Round-Up! The February giveaway ends soon, so this is your last chance to enter! For January, the winner was Danielle Hammelef, who chose The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things by Ann Aguirre. Confession: I completely forgot about reading this book and now I’m way behind. This is going to be my next read!! (So sorry, Danielle!!) I also haven’t been great about reading and commenting on all of […]
What a twisty ride this book was! Kim Savage knows how to take you on a journey with her books—and you’re not always sure you’re going to end up somewhere pretty. That was definitely the case with this one. What Fed My Addiction: Life hijack. I don’t know what it is, but I’m always fascinated by stories where the main character takes over someone else’s life. In this case, Jo sees an opportunity to pretend to be […]

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): I started working with three critique partners this week! It’s funny because I’d tweeted about my search for a CP with no luck—but then suddenly, […]
I’ve got three bite-sized reviews for you today: two YA and a MG. I hope these bite-sized reviews will be enough to feed your fiction addiction! This middle grade book tackles some very heavy topics, focusing on Finley’s anxiety and depression. It also covers divorce, family schisms, mysterious deaths, and secret-keeping. The result is a somewhat dark, but ultimately hopeful middle grade read. First off, I want to say that I think Legrand does an excellent […]
First of all, I know I mentioned this in the title of the post, but I want to reiterate it here. This post is going to contain spoilers for both the movie and the book. So, don’t keep reading unless you’ve read/seen A Wrinkle in Time (or don’t mind being spoiled)! My kids, my mom and I went to go see A Wrinkle in Time last week, and we spent the entire drive home debating […]

This past week on FYFA (and in my life): I finally heard back about that writing workshop I was hoping for, and unfortunately I wasn’t accepted. I’m a little sad, but let’s face […]
