I was minding my own business, attempting to buy milk when... wham! Just what I needed - more books!

Books can come from the oddest of places.  I just found that out yesterday when I went shopping at my local JayC's grocery store.  Grocery store?  You got it.  I mean, I expect book displays at Walmart and some of the bigger produce arenas, but at a store that's so small it doesn't even carry the brand of chips I like?  Nope, didn't see it coming. 

Please help, Jayne!

I left a blog on the Help forum, but I wasn't sure if you've noticed it.   I can't edit my profile page's avatar or any of the personal information.  It prompts that I'm already registered, and asks if I forgot my password.  Then when I click on it, it tells me I don't have the right permissions to access the page.  I'm so totally lost!  Can you help me? 

Craving the bad boys of fiction (or movies)

This is a subject I've thought about blogging on before, but it wasn't until I blogged with Beth Ciotta (All About Evie and Everybody Loves Evie - awesome books, btw!), when she confessed to being torn between the two lovers in her third Evie novel, that I finally decided to post the question. 

 

It's back to the grind for me!

Yep, vacation is over and since I've been back this week, I've been nose-deep in writing as well as helping with fundraising efforts for our flood disaster victims.  Well, it's definitely time to take a quick break and rejoin my friends here at eHarlequin!

Vacation at last!

It's finally that time of the year again for us.  We're going on vacation.  This time, not too far away to Mammoth Caves, KY.  We're the sort of folks who love trekking along slippery rocks and spooky canals for the heck of it. 

Tornado gave me a glimpse of what life was like before the wonder of electricity

Well, I've been reading about everyone else's bad weather and even added to some friends blogs about their wacky weather and my small town's string of thunder storms. 

 

Last night we had a tornado rip through.

 

How do you review a book you don't particularly like?

Let's say you've just read a book that you were eager to read and yet you ended up absolutely hating it, or at least disappointed with several aspects of it.  Should you skip the review (as I've been guilty of doing) or do you just give your honest opinion?  And how can you do it tactfully without offending the author or fans of the book?

Okay, forgive me, I can't help but show this picture off. This was a big day for Katie.  She hates that school is over for the year!
