I seem to be stuck on the idea of book series lately. I've been thinking about some of the series I want to finish but appear to have no next...
I never paid attention since I don't have kids either, but it seems Amazon sells kid-friendly Fire-tablets with "content for kids 3-12." They have...
Ellie Jane, I get my audiobooks from the library. They have CDs for checkout and downloadable options too. Donna, I'm the first to admit that not...
I had to look it up, but I read The Rescue a long time ago and I'm pretty sure that's the only one. For some reason, I don't read much by big-name...
That sounds frustrating, Donna. I know they get a fair number of submissions, but some sort of feedback seems like it'd just be polite. Then...
Pitch Parties seem to be taking off. It seems like a way to put yourself out there without having to put yourself out there too much. If I had...
I feel similarly. There's only a few series I've started that I never finished. In a few cases, I just haven't gotten there yet. With others, I...
Natalie, you could also look into joining writing groups on Facebook. I've occasionally seen calls for beta readers in the ones I follow. There...
How do you all feel about a series? If you read the first one or two, are you compelled to read them all or are you willing to give it up if...

Reading goals got started for me when I found various reading challenges on book blogs that I followed. Sometimes they were crazy, like read 7...
This is the first time I've heard of Amazon Coins but I suppose that's because I don't do much with Amazon Apps. The only benefit I can see from...
I've had a lackluster reading year, more accurately a lackluster year. I'm tempted to set my usual goal to read x number of books during the year...
I don't give up my books easily either. The nice thing about a Kindle is that as long you don't delete something permanently, Amazon will hang on...
Did anyone set any reading goals for 2017? Or take any challenges to read outside your comfort zone? I usually set a small goal for myself,...
Marcelo in the Real World by Francisco X. Stork, The Perfect Shot by Elaine Marie Alphin, and In Real Life by Cory Doctorow are a few that I would...
I've learned over time that people who say that usually mean they don't read novels in particular. Reading magazines, comics or graphic novels,...
Sometimes we can have a built-in bias though, too. When Harry Potter changed directors and the set changed, I thought it was awful. Now I think it...
I appreciate the advice, Donna. That's a great way to look at it. Right now it's all one document, but I think I can easily separate the scenes...
Separate names with a comma.
