Thursday night, Lyn from Barding Well and I went to see and hear Kathryn Stockett talk about her book The Help.
The event was held at The King’s English in Salt Lake City, UT.
I’d been planning on attending this for weeks. I had the emails. I’d been checking The King’s English site. I shared the invite [...]

Weekly Geeks 2010-5: Author Fun Facts

February 9, 2010 2010

One of my favorite writers is Phyllis A. Whitney. I think I’ve read nearly all of her books. I love the mystery, the romance, and trying to figure out if the person we think is the good guy is really not good after all.
At one time I had a few shelves filled with her books. [...]

Weekly Geeks: Winter Reading

February 2, 2010 2010

Winters in Utah seem to go on forever, and some days it’s hard to remember when you last saw the sun peek through the cloudy, and sometimes downright smoggy, inversions that settle in.
I don’t know about you, but when winter seems its dreariest, I find myself ready to hibernate under my favorite blanket with a [...]

Truly, Madly by Heather Webber — A Review

January 17, 2010 Book Reviews
Truly, Madly

Rating:

As some of you know, I came down with a bad cold the day after Christmas. During that time, all I wanted was warm soup, cough drops, a box of really soft tissues, and a good book to read. I needed a light-hearted read to distract me from my misery and to keep me [...]

James Dashner at WSU

January 14, 2010 Blog

Yesterday, I went to see James Dashner, author of The Maze Runner, speak at Weber State University.  I was surprised at how many younger kids were there, but then again, he is a YA writer, so maybe that shouldn’t have surprised me. Apparently, junior high students were bused into campus to listen to him talk. [...]
