Mermaids, Mythology & Relaxing

By Anonymous
Happy Monday All,

I finished reading over the weekend Fins Are Forever by Tera Lynn Childs. As with the first one, Forgive My Fins I loved it. I wonder if she's going to have a third mermaid book (I hope so) but I don't know and her FAQ hasn't been updated to say yes or no about it. Love these two books, by the way. They're a lot of fun!

Last week I finished reading Josephine Angelini's Starcrossed. I can hardly wait for the sequel, but I heard it's not out until next year. I can tell you, that's one I will definitely be planning on reading again. I heard about Starcrossed on A Cupcake And A Latte (Mocha Latte Reads) Blog (A YA Review Site).  Starcrossed is kind of a retelling of the Helen Of Troy story from The Iliad. It's updated and modernized for YA audiences. It focuses on the notion that the three Fates like to replay the story over and over throughout history.
Anyone who's into Greek/Roman Mythology I recommend you give this novel a chance and seriously check it out. I was fascinated with the author's imagination in reinventing this story. Would Homer be proud? I don't know, I never met the guy, but he just might be intrigued if he read it.


This past weekend I got to hang out with a friend of mine. It was a lot of fun and a great way to relax.

So how do you like to unwind on the weekends?

Have A Magnificent Monday!

I was alone most of the week, as I guess I told you.I made major stides in getting my entire house in good order...felt good.But when Itook breaks, well, guess what I did?READ,of course! I downloaded a few stories/books from Astraea Press from $1.99-3.00; the proceeds are going to charity disaster relief, so I thought I'd give them a shot.One, 'Matching Wits With Venus' by Theresa Gilardi is quite long and I have not finished it.I especially enjoyed the 'haunting'-ly lovely 'Hawthorne' by Sarah Ballance.(You have me reading more romance novels, Bethany!)There was one I was not overly impressed with, but it was OK, I mean, for charity, right? And it was a diversion from pulling things out from under beds, climbing up on ladders into closets...
Have a great day!

Tonette,

LOL good! Since so many authors I know write Romance I'm delighted you're supporting them by reading their work.

That's cool you got so much done! That's awesome.

Enjoy the Romance genre. It's very diverse and I believe has something for just about every reader.

Thanks for dropping by :-)

It's Worth A Fortune

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

It's All About August..

By
  Hi Everyone! End of August is coming up, and thus, it's time for a monthly update from yours truly. Currently, I'm waiting on some responses on queries for Sugar & Frost . There's been a bit more interest since #UnhingedPit and #questpit, so that's great. I love this story so much, that I'm happy with other people get interested. As far as I'm concerned, it's a fun read. I call it the "book of my heart" because it's just exactly something I'd pick up as a reader and cuddle up with a comfy blanket in a chair, couch, or in bed, with something hot to drink and just enjoy. I also dedicated it to my siblings, so there is a personal aspect to it, too. Other manuscripts:  Moonrise Pack: Shifter Secrets (YA Fantasy, wolf shifters, sweet romance) is in edits--I finally sat down and started working on it. I'm not very far along in the editing, yet, but hopeful about polishing it. I had made a poster for it for #PosterPit since they allow W...

Not only do you get this awesome interview to read, but if you leave a comment in the comment section (with your first name and email address--I won't be able to contact you if you're the winner if you don't leave your email address) I'll put your name and email address in my contest box for Friday night's drawing for a chance to win Kerrelyn Sparks' Be Still My Vampire Heart .
