I also almost never write posts in advance or have specific days or times that I blog hop and comment. There are several reasons for my lack of a schedule: I’m horrible at sticking to a schedule (in life as well as blogging) […]

Let’s face it, we were all more than a little fascinated when […]

Apparently, 987 books were nominated across all categories. That’s a lot of books! I thought I’d share all the finalists with you along with a few of my thoughts. (Thanks to the folks at Cybils for the wonderful graphics!) I’d love […]
