Guest Post: The Pain–and the Joy–of Editing Fiction by Allen Woods It took me several years to complete The Sword and Scabbard, since I was only able to work on it part-time between paid writing projects. When I look back, I realize that a large percentage of that time was spent editing one draft after […]
Have you ever read a book simply because you saw the movie? Or maybe heard about the movie and wanted to read the book first? What about TV shows? Julie: I usually decide to see a movie based on a book because I already read and enjoyed the book, but sometimes I’ve done the reverse. […]
The only challenge (other than our Shelf Love challenge of course) that I signed up for in 2015 is the Audiobook challenge. I didn’t end up doing an introductory post and instead linked up my GR shelf. But I still wanted to participate in the quarterly updates, so here we go. I’m kind of going […]

Being that it is Women’s History Month, I thought it would be quite appropriate to share this awesome infographic about the 13 women who have won the Nobel Prize in literature. Let’s hope the upcoming years will see more lovely ladies winning Nobels for their work. I actually haven’t read ANY of these, so now […]
I run a book club. From time to time, I find it almost impossible to find good study guides/discussion questions for the books we are reading. So I thought I would share the study guides that I created myself and offer them for your use with your own book club. I do not mind if […]
