Hey all,  I’m just writing to say that I’m going to take a few days to myself without blogging. Yesterday I spent the night in the emergency room due to an incredible level of pain, which was putting the baby at risk. I guess I was starting to have convulsions and my husband decided that…

Wow. One year and nearly 50,000 views later.  Time has really flown by and I’m, quite honestly, amazed this blog is still flourishing (especially after reading my first “reviews”).  Regardless, here I am – one year, a bachelor of science degree, cancer and a (still cooking) baby later and I’m still plugging along.  And nearly…

A few days ago, Stephen Zimmer, an author who also does PR for Seventh Star Press asked me if I was interested in doing a contest for Redheart, Jackie Gamber‘s new young adult fantasy release. Of course I said yes.  So here it is, the Seventh Star Press giveaway of Redheart. Read on to find…

I’m back from my vacation in San Diego. I scheduled some reviews to be posted (and a discussion) while I was gone, so I’m hoping no one noticed I was missing other than my whole not pimping my reviews on twitter like I usually do. It hasn’t seemed to matter. For whatever reason, my blog…

Well, kids, here it is. Another bit of health drama to add to my pile.  First, I should say that I’m not exactly comfortable fessing up to this bit of news because it’s really, really hard for me to think about. However, writing things out is very therapeutic for me and I’ve had a lot…

I mentioned in a previous review that, with all this health stuff, I’ve had a lot of books on hold until I felt good enough to read and absorb them fairly. Well, since I’ve started reading again, I’ve realized just how LARGE my hold pile has gotten. Today, instead of reviewing, I decided to post…

The lovely people at TOR sent me an extra copy of this wonderful book. That means that I’m giving it away. This time I’m shaking it up even more and opening this giveaway up worldwide.  Same rules apply as my last giveaway. It opens today and closes next Sunday, March 12 at 11:59pm (my time…
