Cover Characteristics #4

Posted April 20, 2015 by Marsha in Discussion Post / 6 Comments

The ladies at  Sugar and Snark  are hosting a Cover Characteristic meme.  Weekly a subject will be chosen and we search for book covers related to that week’s pick.  Why not?  I certainly have tons of book covers in my files (and I know how to find more *wink*). This week’s choice is babies.  Oh, my. […]

I was going through my Bloglovin’ feed this morning and noticed something that kinda broke my heart. One of the blogs that I follow – Blogger has removed.  I’m not mentioning names of blogs – for all I know it’s a glitch that is being fixed as we speak. But just the thought of all […]

The Difference Between A Revie..

Sometimes I just have to ask:  Why? I’ve just come from a post that has totally taken a possibly entertaining novel off of my TBR Pile and tossed it on the “give to Goodwill” pile. In the very first sentence of this blogger’s “review” she has told me the ending of the story. Why?  Why bother […]

Knowing When To Give Up –..

I love NetGalley.  The idea of it, the variety of novels offered there, just about everything. Ah yes, that “about” thing. I am a fast reader, I review rather quickly but always trying to keep the reviews within a week of a novel’s release.  Some publishing houses request that, and it simply makes sense to […]

While I don’t normally send you off to other websites (I’d much rather keep you company here 🙂 ) – I came across this amazing article – thank you Uncle George Takei – that shows some truly awesome  tattoos that are inspired by the books these folks loved enough to have them inked. Please check […]

Why Wouldn’t You Respond..

I’m afraid I’m about to rant here.  And I’m not going to apologize for it either. I just came from a blog that had an excellent, thought provoking post on it.  I read it with interest and learned a lot in the process. As I began reading over the comments, I realized something rather strange […]
