In Pursuit of My Own Library

All right, let's get back on track here. I have resettled from my vacation euphoria to one of the best countries on the globe, completed my interview for the book tour of two amazing authors, and settled in my inherited chickens. Yes, you read me correctly. I am now the proud owner of seven chickens of varying breeds. My neighbors are moving and did not plan on relocating the chickens with them, so I am now the proud mama hen. As my title states I'm such a Mopsies junkie. And, I also now have time to give you this wonderful review. A Lady of Spirit by Shelley Adina This go around we get to delve into the back story for the other half of the Mopsies, Maggie de Maupassant... or is it? You will have to read to find out.  While we once again get a  delicate braid of Lizzie's (and possibly Tigg's) and the Lady's story within Maggie's , each novel is completely unique to fit the very unique identity of the girls.

Welcome to the second day of Abi Ketner's and Missy Kalicicki's blog tour. Branded  is being released a second time in June with additional content and jazzed up cover.

In his warped mind, the seven deadly sins were the downfall of society. He created the Hole where sinners are branded according to their sins and might survive a few years. At best. Now LUST wraps around my neck like blue fingers strangling me. I’ve been accused of a crime I didn’t commit and now the Hole is my new home. Darkness. Death. Violence. Pain. It is amazing to be a part of this mega event to spread the word about a uniquely great dystopia for young adults. I was given the opportunity to do an interview with both authors. Check out the fabulous results below. Amy) The voice of your story is so seamless it amazes me that there are two authors. How do you go ab

I have been on vacation in Northern Ireland. I have very mixed feelings about being back. I truly love being over there. I feel at peace and at home. However, I also feel happy to back in my actual home. So now that my brain is back in one piece (I think), I will be adding a couple of reviews for the books I read. Yes, that is what I do with my vacations, I read. Obvious nerd alert. What do you think of the nice banner up above? Pretty sweet. Come back Tuesday for some cool goodies in my interview with the authors. I'm incredibly awed to be a part of this adventure for Abi and Missy.

To a bookstore near you! I crack myself up. More serious now. The conclusion to the Sundering series will be hitting shelves in June this year. I have become highly impressed with the ability of Wizards of the Coast to put out six novels so quickly. As a voracious reader, I love having the entire series within 10 months. Sure, there have been some unique hiccups (for me) with six authors contributing to the overall plot arc, but it worked for me by this conclusion. I now have an appreciation for the multi-author genre. I can't say that I have been turned into a fan but appreciate the intricacy that goes along with co-writing.  Ed Greenwood raps up the story of world domination and apocalypse with The Herald coming to stores  3   June 2014.
