Julia, I read a little bit of everything though I do go through phases. Right now I'm working through a couple of romance authors. I was a judge...
tirial, I'm so sorry for your loss, and the gravestone doesn't help. I love that he's being honored with the memorial award. My old-man passed a...
The only recommendation I know of is for television, which says no screen time for children under 2. Of course, I regularly see babies handed...
I will always, always recommend the library. Children's librarians are pretty great and always know the best books. I can't guarantee these are...
I was using friendly as a bit of a euphemism, but sometimes cheaper is the way to go. I've also heard of self-published authors getting picked...
This sounds like a great idea. I'm a sucker for books that feature cats as characters, so I look forward to a list. Also, if I had the power to...
I've met all kind of readers. Some stick to their favorite genres and authors and only try something new if it hits a bestseller list, while...
I'm that sporadic writer who gets an idea and will write a lot in one day and then not at all for a long time. My problem is discipline. There's...
I've had a couple of review blogs over the years, and luckily I've never received bad feedback from an author. I also haven't written many poor...

I'm with Jessica. If it's a bit boring, I can keep going, and hopefully, it does get better. If it's just awful, there's no way I'll finish it. My...
I know it was mentioned in another post about the joy of reading, but is anyone else a fan and regular user of libraries? I feel like I'm in one...
I'm part of a book club through the library. We have a range of members though at this point we've got about twelve regulars. A librarian runs the...
Ellie, I like that your book club does related activities. I'm part of one too, but we just chat the whole time. Can you share the book title?...
Thanks for asking this question! I've tried Scrivner before, but I'm not the best planner, so I didn't find it too helpful. I'm excited to check...
Graphic novels have their readers, like any other book. I never read comics or graphic novels when I was younger, though as an adult I've added...
Terry's response is spot on. Just because you can write it quickly, doesn't mean it will be good. I've seen one guy who says you can do it in...
