title: I’d Tell You I’d Love You, but Then I’d Have to Kill You author: Ally Carter genre: YA Fiction thoughts: I’ve been wanting to read this for a while (in fact, I think it was recommended in a college class that I took . . . eight years ago). It’s purely “bubble gum”, fun read and so far… Read More

Workspace Wednesday
Between Oliver’s growth spurt and clingy-ness (literally I have 45 seconds to take a shower in the morning before all hell breaks loose when Oliver realizes that mommy is no longer in the room and daddy is holding him) my workspace today is the side table. I’m going to attempt to get some words written in “the book” today as… Read More
Reviewed: Vertical Vegetable Gardening
I have what you call a very black thumb. I seriously can’t keep anything alive (and apparently, in the case of my tomato plants, if I can keep it alive, it doesn’t produce any fruit).

The first book up is Kisses from Katie — you should probably join us because that would be all kinds of awesome. (Please, please, pretty please? Yes, that’s me… Read More
What I’m Reading
title: 11/22/63 author: Stephen King genre: Adult Fiction thoughts: This book is massive. Like I swear to you it’s the same size as Oliver. This is my first ever Stephen King (other than On Writing—which is highly recommended if you’re a writer). I’ve mainly stayed away from him because I thought all he wrote was horror, and I’m not whacha… Read More
Workspace Wednesday
My little space is crazy as ever. Still doing some Litfuse work (apparently I have no concept of “maternity leave” . . . Whatever). Tour books are stacking up, and I’m trying to work on my book in the midst of it all (it’s mostly in my head while some of it is getting randomly scratched down on paper). Still… Read More
