New from Hundred Ton Press – Lucky’s Girl
Honestly, I feel a little silly announcing this one, since it’s one of mine. I think the worst part of being an indie author is doing your own marketing. If it were someone else’s work I would have no problem telling you — in detail — what the plot was, how fast the plot moved along (or didn’t), why I thought those things, and what other books it reminds me of. When it’s one of mine, I always…

All Hail the Fail, and the State of My TBR Stack.
All Hail the Fail, and the State of My TBRÂ Stack.
I normally enjoy Malcolm Gladwell books. Talking to Strangers is maybe my favorite, which is likely more about the fact I actually do talk to strangers all the time in my real life job, and less about it being his best. That said, I have returned Blink to the library less than half-read. The subject of how accurate our first impressions can be is fascinating, but the book simply didn’t grab me.…

Wolf Hall - Review
Wolf Hall – Review
Title: Wolf Hall Author: Hilary Mantel Other books I am currently reading: Blink, by Malcom Gladwell I owe Hilary Mantel an apology. I have massive attitude about Historical Fiction. By that I don’t mean romance novels masquerading as Historical Fiction — although there is a massive rant to be had there, too. Today I speak of authors who have clearly researched their time period, then written…

Lars and the Real Girl, Statues in Red, and the Steps We Don’t Know.
The movie Lars and the Real Girl follows a socially awkward man who forms a highly delusional, fully-imagined relationship with a hyper-realistic sex doll. The key to the movie is this: the people around him (family, friends, neighbors, people at church) love him enough to patiently let him work out the things causing his delusions, while they also treat Bianca (the doll) as if she is a real,…

To Marry an English Lord – Review
It’s been a weird couple weeks here. Last week I was on vacation. Which was great. This week I experienced a WordPress-related catastrophe. So I’m late publishing this, but trying again. Life.

Wallace Other books I am currently reading: Blink, by Malcom Gladwell I needed something a little frivolous to take on vacation with…

How Readers are Made
How Readers are Made
Author’s note: This is not what I was planning to write about tonight. It’s been a rough couple of weeks here, and three times this week I fell asleep reading the book I intended to review for tonight. As in: fell asleep with my face on the book. This hasn’t happened to me in ages. So, instead, this musing on my early reading habits, because it was already mostly written. Long before I heard of…

Welcome to our Diverse Community – Review
I have a book blogging and reviewing conviction: I have become too old and cranky to read books I don’t enjoy. If I don’t like a book enough to finish it, I don’t. If it’s really bad, I may write a post about why it’s bad, but I will not mention the title or the author, and I really, really, really have to hate the book to go there. Once they’ve managed to put words between two covers I accord…

Weapon of Choice
I have loaded and fired a muzzle-loading flintlock rifle. Not in a reenacting sort of way; a barn and a cow pasture were involved. I am not, however, any sort of weapons expert. I’m just a person who likes to try things. This is important for you to know, because much of the rest of today’s post is pure speculation on my part. I tried something, now I speculate based on that trial. The…

Love, Grandma
For some in-real-life reasons, I’ve gone down a communications and language-acquisition rabbit hole this week. Interesting information, all of it, but it’s more than that — what I heard got me thinking about my grandmothers. Members of my generation, Gen X, are really all about the phone call and e-mail as our prime forms of communication. My youngest sister, a Millennial, tolerates my occasional…

Five Things
It’s that time again. Time for me to re-up my interest in blogging because blogging primes the pump for the rewriting. Which I absolutely must do, right after everyone gets their snacks, and there are no more deep, existential questions to ask. Every time I realize I haven’t posted in more than a year, I play with the thought of scrapping it all and starting over again. A new blog, with better…
