Wordless (Wednesday on) Thursday: Truth in Advertising?

I’m a day late to this week’s Linked-Up Wordless Wednesday because of a prior commitment to my friends at TLC Book Tours, but I hope you’ll click the thumbnails below (courtesy of the new link tool we’re using) to see what my WW friends were up to yesterday!

I’ve been in Sacramento this week on my first-ever real business trip for my day job, learning lots of things about the accounting software we use. My hotel was just a short walk from the state Capitol in one direction and historic Old Town in another, which is where I spotted this.

I wonder if what you see is what you get here?

Sunday Salon: Winding Down a Short, Over-Committed Month

After spending my last visit to the Sunday Salon talking about going offline, that was what I did most of last weekend, and I may spend a good chunk of today that way, too. But I do hope I’ll be able to spend some time reading; I have a post due for a blog tour on Wednesday. As I mentioned back at the beginning of February, I had a long reading list for a short […]

A Few Things I'm Loving Right Now #ValentinesDay

A Few Things I'm Loving Right Now #ValentinesDay

This is not the post I’d originally planned for today, but I decided that particular book review might be better scheduled on a day that’s not Valentine’s Day–I’ve bumped it to next week (because it’s not for a tour or a book club, so I can). I suppose my Wordless Wednesday post yesterday could count as my “official” Valentine’s Day post, but I thought today might be a nice time to mention a few of […]

Sunday Salon: The Online Trend of Going Offline

Sunday Salon: The Online Trend of Going Offline

If all goes well, today will be a review-writing day. Last night I raced to finish a book of short stories for a blog tour this Tuesday, so I’ll be writing that up. I also hope to get my thoughts down, finally and with some degree of coherence, about We Need to Talk About Kevin; I finished the audiobook a few days ago, but it’s a novel that definitely needs to simmer a little. I […]
