Can Book Blogging Lead to a Job? Let’s Discuss!

Can Book Blogging Lead to a Job? Let’s Discuss!

On Sunday, Kristen @ Metaphors and Moonlight suggested that I write a post about how I got into editing and proofreading, and I thought it was a fantastic idea! I get that question a lot, actually, so I don’t know why I never thought to write a post about it before. The fact is that book blogging can lead into several forms of income (I’ll talk about some ideas of ways to earn money in […]

Abe Lincoln and the Selfie that Saved the Union by David Potter – Middle Grade Review

Abe Lincoln and the Selfie that Saved the Union by David Potter – Middle Grade Review

With Presidents’ Day being this week, it’s the perfect week to review this cute read that gives kids insight into President Lincoln and his family, along with a few other key players during the Civil War. I was excited to have my kids read this one to go along with our homeschool curriculum, and it didn’t disappoint. What Fed My Addiction: Goofy concept. The whole concept of the kids going back in time via an app on […]

Assassin’s Heart by Sarah Ahiers – Review

Assassin’s Heart by Sarah Ahiers – Review

This is one of those times when I’m actually glad I went into the book relatively cold – I had just barely perused some reviews of the book well before I read it and didn’t read the blurb right before I started reading. So, I had NO idea what was going to happen, and I appreciated that. Having said that, in order to review the book, I have to at least mention details that were […]

Some Books Just Aren’t All That Memorable – Let’s Discuss

Some Books Just Aren’t All That Memorable – Let’s Discuss

Has this ever happened to you? You’re reading a book – and you’re really enjoying it. It’s going along swimmingly, and you get to the end and feel … satisfied. Maybe not completely blown away, but certainly happy with the outcome. So, you go to sleep (or go on with your day, but this tends to happen to me more often when I finish a book at night … maybe I’m too sleepy?) The next […]

Birthday and Third Blogoversary Giveaway!!

Hey, everybody! It’s time to celebrate my third blogoversary (a little late – technically, it was on the 31st) and my birthday (a little early – it’s on the 11th).

Sword and Verse by Kathy MacMillan – Review

Sword and Verse by Kathy MacMillan – Review

This book didn’t quite fit the mold that I’ve gotten used to with a lot of YA fantasies lately, but that made me appreciate it even more. I loved the mythology that was woven in throughout the book and the fact that the written word was so important to the story was a huge bonus! This book has a great synopsis, so I won’t spend time telling you what it’s about. Instead I’ll jump straight into […]
