The Early Reviewers group on LibraryThing decided a week or so ago that we all need to share our book blogs with one another. From that decision, an idea was formed to do a once-per-week blogging circle/prompt along the lines of Booking Through Thursday.
Our goal today is simply to introduce ourselves and our blogs. [...]
I feel a little bit like I am cheating in my first Sunday Salon. I did not get a ton of reading done today, and what I did get done was just for my Vlad Drakul/Dracula theme read (I was running around, so I pretty much exclusively was reading “The Historian” while Brian was driving).
I [...]
This meme has been going around a bunch of book blogs, so I thought I would partake for two reasons

Below are listed the top 106 books tagged ‘unread’ on [...]
Writing guides, grammar books, punctuation how-tos . . . do you read them? Not read them? How many writing books, grammar books, dictionaries–if any–do you have in your library?
Once upon a time, in high school and college, I had some MLA writing guides and other similar such things that were required for class. I [...]

And, no, you did NOT have time to grab your [...]
I started this blog sometime back at the very end of February. I remember the first day that I was excited about getting 15 views in a day, then breaking 30, then 50. For a long time my record has been 75 views in one day (is this embarrassing? I’m not sure [...]
I really need it to be next week already.
My mom is arriving here on Wednesday afternoon and my best friend on Thursday for my bridal shower this weekend and to get some wedding stuff done. As you may have read already, we have been doing some remodeling lately. As with any construction-ish project, [...]
Margaret George’s “Memoirs of Cleopatra” begins with the young princess Cleopatra’s memory of General Pompey coming to Egypt and her role in charming him with her wit and personality in order to help her father keep his kingdom and of course tells her story up through her infamous death.
