BBAW: Because She Introduced Me To Ceepak

September 17, 2009 Blogging and Blog Events

Thank you, Beth Fish Reads!
Back in early June, Beth Fish Reads wrote a post about the John Ceepak mysteries by Chris Grabenstein. I trust her implicitly, and at the time I was just in the beginning stages of my love affair with audiobooks, so I was very intrigued, because she’d listened to the series in [...]

BBAW: Me and My Reading Habits – And a Giveaway!

September 16, 2009 Blogging and Blog Events

I thought this one would be tough for me. Everyone knows how much I like using five words where one word will do, ten words where two will do, twenty words where three will do (need more numerical examples or was that just perfect?).
This BBAW meme requires me to answer the following questions in as [...]

BBAW: One TBR Pile, Transformed

September 15, 2009 Blogging and Blog Events

More BBAW fun: Show us your TBR pile. And as luck would have it, I’m actually really, really prepared for this post (which is quite an odd thing, as I’m not particularly well-known for preparedness).
A while back, I was tagged for the What’s On My Desk Wednesday meme, and I posted the following picture of [...]

It’s Day One of Book Blogger Appreciation Week and today it’s time to shine the spotlight on some of my favorite book blogs! It was extremely difficult culling down my list, although it was helpful that some of my favorites were shortlisted and therefore had to be cut from my list.
Which, by the way, is [...]

The Second Annual Book Blogger Appreciation Week is coming up September 14 to 18, and I’m very excited to be participating this year. Last year I wasn’t involved because MsBookish.com wasn’t yet born; it sounds like an incredibly fun event and I’ve enjoyed reading the BBAW meme that other book bloggers have been posting [...]

Want To See The State of My TBR? What’s On My Desk Wednesday

June 24, 2009 Blogging and Blog Events

I got tagged last week by J. Kaye for the What’s On My Desk Wednesday meme. My heart kind of sank because the state of my desk when I got tagged was really really dismal. (I actually had to move a stack of books in order to see the little date thing in the bottom [...]

Bloggiesta Update

June 21, 2009 Blogging and Blog Events

The past two days definitely flew by. I didn’t accomplish everything on my Bloggiesta list, but then again, with a couple of deadlines hanging over me (one down, one to go!) I didn’t really expect to.
I found that just making my Bloggiesta to-do list was helpful, and I will likely be making my way through [...]
