Honing My Skills

My 100,000 book challenge count has been stagnant lately as I'm in the process of re-reading a book I've already read and logged.  The book is Natural Born Charmer, by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, and the reason I've pulled it off the shelf is because I'm feeling the need to stop and reflect on my personal writing technique.

Ghosts of the Carolinas

A while back, I'd put out a call for ghost stories and several community members here listed some of their favorites.  I bought a few of them, The Tunnels, Spirited Away, and this one, which is the first of the suggested reads I cracked open.

Get (give) any books for Mother's Day?

For mother's day, I got Brenda Novak's Stillwater trilogy.  After reading the reviews on this board, I'd put it on my wish list.  Now I have all three!

The TBR pile grows......

How about you all?  Anyone get any good books as presents?

 

What I did....

In case anyone is wondering what ever happened to my unsolicited book loaning incident (Coworker loans me book I never asked for.  I hate it.  What do I say?) I have an update.  The story actually ended on a bit of a twist.

What would you do?

So....an acquaintance of mine loaned me a book.  I didn't ask for it.  It's one of those things, you start talking and they say, "Oh, let me bring in X for you!  I think you'd like it!"

Danger Signals by Kathleen Creighton

This is another SRS which I'm adding to my collection, and I liked it a lot.  Tierney Doyle is an empath whose mother ran off when she was 3, leaving her in the hands of her empath grandmother, who now suffers from Alzheimers.

Traceless by Debra Webb

Wow.  Wow, wow, wow.  I read this book in one sitting.  It was given to us at National last year.  According to the back cover, Debra was a Harlequin author, which just proves what talent lies within our ranks.
