Let's get this party started with a big Happy Birthday to my baby girl, Tabitha! You are one year older, little girl. But don't let it get you down--you're still a lot younger than I!!

I have been reading novellas this week as part of a reading group and wanted to share a couple of reviews with you all.

If you're looking for something quick and entertaining, these will fill the bill. The reviews are on Goodreads, and the links are here:

Love by Chance by Eunice Nascimento

The Golden Key by Cathleen Townsend

I enjoy novellas when I'm really busy, because I have time to get through them within a time frame before I forget what happened in the first part. Ha ha!

Seriously, give these a try, I think you'll like them!

In other news, I am behind in posting for you the #WriteAwayJune Days 12 and 13. In my defense, I was busy having fun at a Monkees concert.

Oh, and other stuff that was neither fun or very interesting.

Anyway, here are the posts!

#WriteAwayJune Day 12 - Describe you character's ideal day. Emma is an Autumn fan. She loves the changing of the leaves, the crisp morning air and chilly evenings bookending warm daylight hours. She sunburns easily, and hats and long sleeves are so much more comfortable when it's not summer-hot. She likes fall clothes, and best of all, harvest fresh fruits and vegetables. She is ever the student, and to her, September is the true start of the new year, not dead-of-winter January. On a beautiful 70 degree or so day, Emma can be found at the river, teaching the twins to fish or harvesting choke-cherries to make jelly with her mother and sisters. She and her husband, Jacob, are kept quite busy making sure the twins stay out of trouble.


#WriteAwayJune Day 13 - What was your character's favorite toy? Emma has a lot of artistic interests, and those manifested early. As a small child she had an xylophone that she dragged around and quickly learned a lot of little tunes to play on it. Her sister, Melody, is a professional singer, so she loved singing along while Emma played. When she got older, Emma received an Etch-A-Sketch as a gift, and she played with that for hours, creating some pretty complicated designs. Other than that, Emma was more interested in reading than toys. She managed to build up quite a collection of books and comic books. She does NOT do dolls. Ever. Dolls are creepy.


Heading downtown to pick up Comic-Con badges tomorrow, so I am off to beddie-bye.

Have a good night!
