Discussion: Author blurbs

Okay, I’ll admit it. If Steven Erikson has a blurb on a cover of a book, I pretty much HAVE to read said book. I don’t even have to know what it’s about. If I see his name saying something is pure badass, some sort of compulsion is laid upon me that says, “must read…

Discussion: Favorite bookstore?

I’m not a big fan of big box bookstores like Barnes and Noble. However, they tend to be the most common so, if I’m going to a bookstore, I usually to go to those the most. It’s the small, locally owned bookstores that I have the most fun at. They seem to have the most…

Discussion: Female authors

I thought I wrote this discussion before I went to have the baby, but I was looking through my scheduled posts and it turns out I was wrong. Thus, this is my first book-related post since I had the baby, so I hope it makes some sort of sense. Now that I’m writing it, I’m…

Yep, I’m alive…

Life with a newborn is… well, difficult. Don’t get me wrong, I’m seriously enjoying getting to know my daughter, but holy crap is it a shock to my system. It’s frustrating and amazing all at once. It also throws my schedule completely off in every conceivable way. I’m glad I scheduled reviews to be put up for several weeks….

She’s here!

This is going to be short and sweet because I’m about 27 different kinds of exhausted right now.  Fiona Claire was born on Monday, August 15 at 8:06 am. The first cut was done at 8:01am and she came out five minutes later. Then there were about 15 minutes of being sewn back up and…

Here it is, my epic list of pre-written scheduled reviews and discussions. I’m posting it so this way you’ll know what to expect and when. I doubt I’ll be around throwing direct links to my posts online for a while. I’ll probably pop in and out over the course of this schedule, but this allows…

Plan of action

I’m going to be rather quiet this week.  The reason is because I’m having my c-section first thing Monday morning. I am enjoying some quiet time to myself before this massive life change happens. I’m also incredibly busy preparing my blog, and life in general, for the upcoming weeks post-baby.  I have written (and am…

Discussion: Are book reviews objective?

Wow, my first post in blogger’s new template. What a thrill.  I was going to type a review up on Friday, but I’m getting the exhaustion I felt in the first trimester back. I’ve heard that’s fairly typical with one month left. Go, me. Anyway, we had our baby shower on Saturday. Sunday we spent…

Half-Year Report

This year has been wild so far. I’m used to a quite, rather boring life. Last year I was doing my internship and graduating at my university with all sorts of career goals and dreams and numerous promising interviews. This year I’m pregnant with a myriad of unexpected health issues to make things a touch more interesting….
