I have yet to do any deep analysis on my 2012 reading, but I am most sure that a vast majority of the 100 books I’ve read so far this year (Yes, I reached that milestone this week! It’s a first!) have been books I have agreed to review. Now there’s nothing wrong with reading [...]
A BEA Book Tour By Publisher
12 Jun By 29 Comments
Walking into the Javits Center Tuesday morning was like walking into a wild garden packed full of exotic blooms. I didn’t know where to start or how best to navigate it in order to take everything in. I quickly discovered that I wouldn’t see it all. What I did see, however, was pretty amazing. In [...]
April 2012 Recap
2 May By 5 Comments
Somehow, the month of April has come and gone. It was a slow reading month for me, but I knew that my superhero (for me) reading powers would weaken over time. While I did devote a few days to a book I didn’t end up finishing (a case of right book at the wrong time), [...]

A Little TBR Fun
17 Dec By 16 Comments
I recently bought a 10.1″ Samsung Galaxy Tablet (fell in love with it immediately). One of the apps I bought was Paper Camera. It allows you to take pictures with several effects coded into the application. Earlier this week I piled up my most immediate TBR to see what I have coming ahead. At work [...]
The Marriage Plot Readalong ~ Week 2
15 Nov By 4 Comments
Week 2 is finally here. I’ve heard from a couple participants that while it was relatively easy to put the book down after the first section, it’s not as easy after finishing this week’s sections. I hope that everyone is feeling that way at least a little bit. It’s a sign you’re enjoying the book. [...]
The Marriage Plot Readalong ~ Week 1
8 Nov By 17 Comments
Welcome to the first installment of The Marriage Plot readalong. I’ve been excited about this book since I first heard about it’s impending release. I’m glad to have others reading along with me. When setting up this readalong, I had every intention of reading just ahead of the group so that I would be able [...]
The Lantern Discussion ~ Week 2
17 Oct By 6 Comments
Carl from Stainless Steal Droppings is hosting a read-a-long of The Lantern this month. I didn’t post last week because of my busy cruising schedule. Thanks to Kailana, we have our questions for this week. Warning (stolen from Carl): For those of you who are not reading the novel but want to, following along after [...]
