It’s time for a new installment of Fun with SPAM, where we peek into the abyss of the Spam folder to find a few gems and imagine … what if I were really going to reply to these random crazy comments? Take a look at what I might say: I have read so many articles on the topic of the blogger lovers except this piece of writing is really a good article, keep it up. Ah, […]

I’ve got four reviews for you today: two MG fantasies, a YA contemporary, and a picture book. I hope these bite-sized reviews will be enough to feed your fiction addiction! An utterly adorable fantasy adventure about finding and playing to your strengths. This reminded me a lot of The Worst Witch (a series that my daughter really enjoys) because Eva’s magic often goes a bit awry. Except this book is set in a fantasy world […]

My Goings-On in September: Being miserable over politics. I think this may have been my #1 activity in September, honestly. I’ve had a hard time focusing on much when I know that our country is plummeting … fast, and it doesn’t feel like there’s any real end in sight. I mean, I’d like to think reason will prevail in November, but reason seems to have flown out the window lately. I find myself in tears over the news […]

I really enjoyed being a round-two judge for the Cybils Awards. The process for picking a winner was WAY harder than I expected it to be, but it was also great to have in-depth discussions about each of the finalists. I was surprised how many of the books I absolutely loved! This year, I said I’d be willing to be either a round-one or round-two judge, and I was chosen for round one for the […]
