What I’m Reading Darknet – Matthew Mather I ordered this on my Kindle about a week ago and I’m still reading it. I find the premise of an AI machine program cloning people fascinating and perhaps a bit larger than this book and it’s that sense of scope that’s lacking that sometimes pulls me outContinue reading “What I’m Reading, What I’m Writing”

What I’m Reading, What I’m Writing
What I’m Reading One thing you need to know about me is that I’m reading polygamist. I normally read at least two books at one time. In my past, I could be at various stages in more than five books at a time, but I’m trying to keep my limit to three these days. ThoseContinue reading “What I’m Reading, What I’m Writing”
What I’m Reading, What I’m Writing
Last year I read 23 books. By my standards, that number was completely unacceptable. I normally read at least one book a week, if not more. Books are what keep my creativity flowing, they are what I study to hone my storytelling abilities, in other words, they are necessary. So when I see how fewContinue reading “What I’m Reading, What I’m Writing”
World Book Day 2017
Sunday, April 23, 2017 is World Book Day! Most of the holidays I see advertised are always ‘National’. National Friendship Day, National Novel Reading Day, or National I like the Color Yellow Day. Sometimes it bothers me, this ‘National’ business, because I want to point out there’s an entire world out there. Why can’t weContinue reading “World Book Day 2017”

Support Your Local Bookshop – Join a Book Club
Instagram is my favorite form of social media. Twitter to me is like an endless autobahn. I use Facebook the most, but I really enjoy Instagram and I’ll tell you why. Facebook, loaded with political memes, angry judgements, and a sense of divisiveness, makes me feel angry or frustrated or judged or a number ofContinue reading “Support Your Local Bookshop – Join a Book Club”
What do you like in a story?
What do you like in a story? Have you ever thought about it? And by that, I mean more than for a few seconds. Have you ever sat down and made a list of the things you enjoy about the stories you read? I read Chris Baty’s book, No Plot, No Problem last week. ForContinue reading “What do you like in a story?”
2016 Reading Challenge
My post last week recapped the books I’ve read in 2015. In that post, I was excited to try to reach my goal of a book a week for 2016. With that in mind, I’ve created a reading challenge because I think they’re fun. I’ve based it on the alphabet =). Here it is: Read a bookContinue reading “2016 Reading Challenge”
2015 Reading Challenge Recap
In 2015 I posted a reading challenge. Forgot about it, did you? For those of you who didn’t, I know you’re dying to hear how it went. Well . . . I got almost half of them ticked off. Here are the details: A book with more than 500 pages — Mistborn: The Final Empire, Brandon SandersonContinue reading “2015 Reading Challenge Recap”
Why Aren’t There More Pictures?
Earlier this week I wrote a blog post about the smell of books. Normally I try to use my own photos on my posts, mostly because it takes forever to find royalty-free photos. For that post, I knew I wanted something book-related, so I pulled out a few of my older books, and in oneContinue reading “Why Aren’t There More Pictures?”
