Here is a random tree that I look at from my side porch when I read outside. Booyah! Where have I been this summer? HELLO EVERYONE! I took the summer off from blogging! And from Twitter (mostly). I didn’t have to, it wasn’t required. I just wanted to. I’ve been blogging fairly regularly for over […]
[TAKING BREAKS] like a book blogger. I’m all for taking blogging breaks when we need them. Or reading breaks. Or any kind of break at all, ever. Life is the way it is. We have to be kind to ourselves, and sometimes that means switching things up for a little while. Right? I have taken […]
I’m drinking the last of my pot of coffee right now and I’m feeling pretty wired. It’s GREAT. The word “backlist” makes me chuckle sometimes. Imagine me, sitting at my computer, using air quotes every time I type that word, okay? Perfect. Why, you ask? Because every time I find a new title, no matter […]
Let me present a very silly picture taken of myself all in fun on the day that my hair straightener broke while I talk to you about something that is on my heart. You may have been following the news lately about my Dad having some neuro issues. We now have a diagnosis; our unknowns […]

[MAKING BLOGGY MISTAKES] like a book blogger. Nobody likes to make mistakes. It’s inevitable that we will have little slip-ups now and then, everyone does, particularly when we put out something public like a website where we write stuff and post photos and get creative. I’ve spent my fair share of time cringing over my own […]
[MANNERS] like a book blogger. A few days ago I talked about how I wanted to start a new, positive conversation in the blogosphere and I began by talking about finding our voices when we write online. I talked a little bit about my own writing voice and how I sometimes get a little flail-y […]
[WRITING] like a book blogger. A few nights ago, I was looking over a blog post before I scheduled it and I was fortunate enough to have my guy sitting beside of me. Since he was RIGHT THERE, I asked him if he would read over what I’d written and tell me if it looked okay. […]
Source According to Urban Dictionary, “beast status is achieved when the aforementioned person is so good at a certain skill that they have exceeded human comprehension, thus making them non-human.” (Source: here.) I’m just gonna go out on a limb here and say that I read like a beast. Chances are pretty good that if you […]
