Why Disorganized Blogging and Vacations Don’t Mix (But I Smushed Them Together Anyway)

So, you’re going on vacation. A fairly long vacation. No problem, right? You just tell the blogosphere that you’re heading out, pre-write and schedule a few posts here and there, and take a little time off from blogging. We all deserve a break, right? That would work great – except, as I’ve told you before, I’m a disorganized blogger. So, do I follow my fantastic advice? Um, no. I did schedule two Top Ten Tuesday […]

June Wrap-up and Best of the Bunch

My Goings On in June: Summer is here and I’m taking full advantage! My family spent the last two weeks in June in Colorado, hiking, sightseeing, wild animal watching, gold panning, hummingbird feeding, wildflower picking, ropes course climbing, go-karting – and just generally having tons of fun!! (Check out the picture of us up on Mt. Bierstadt HERE). I am still working on editing Summer Haikus by S.J. Pajonas and finished a proofread of Avalon’s […]

Faking Perfect by Rebecca Phillips – Review & Giveaway

This book was so incredibly thought-provoking, I couldn’t sleep after finishing it because I just couldn’t stop thinking about it! I have to confess that I was nervous when the book started out – I wasn’t necessarily thrilled with all of Lexi’s choices, and I wondered if the theme of the book was going to be that Lexi should be “who she was” – bad choices and all – without worrying so much about the […]

Emmy & Oliver by Robin Benway – 5 Star Review

This book was so much more than I expected it to be! Okay, for some reason I didn’t go back and reread the synopsis before I picked this one up. I just noticed that a lot of people I trust (I’m talking to you, Shannon at It Starts at Midnight) had loved it and realized that it had just been released, so I decided to go for it. All I remembered was that it was […]

The Night We Said Yes by Lauren Gibaldi – Review

The Night We Said Yes is a sweet, fun romance with a unique spin – it’s told over the span of just two nights. The book switches back and forth between the night that Ella and Matt met and a night, a year later, when he returns after disappearing for six months. You learn about their relationship in between through Ella’s thoughts and memories on the latter night. What I loved: The alternating story. I really enjoyed […]

I’ve Met You, Now I NEED to Read You! – Let’s Discuss

This is the third in a series of discussions that I’m planning based on my experiences at RT 2015 (you can check out my posts on faith in blogging and diversity by clicking the links!). These are thoughts that were inspired by specific panels, or by books from RT, or just by random passing things that happened there. I love that events like this help me to think critically about books, blogging and the publishing world in […]
