Winter’s just about over, y’all, and we’re celebrating Spring for this week’s Linked-Up Wordless Wednesday! Spring is nature’s time of new life and rebirth–or in my family, just “birth.” March is Birthday Month for my clan, and my nephew kicked off the festivities a few weeks ago with a Hobbit-themed party to celebrate turning 13. (It always seems springlike in the Shire.) The beautiful–and delicious!–cake was custom-made by my sister, and you can see more […]
This weekend, The 3 R’s Blog turns six years old! (And it’s not the only one–Happy Blogiversary to my same-age blogging siblings It’s All About Books and Word Lily, too!) My fifth blogiversary was a three-post extravaganza. This one’s a bit more subdued, and comes at a time of major reassessment for the blogiverse-at-large. You’ve probably heard this about this in many places over the last few days, but just in case you’ve managed to miss […]

I haven’t had time for proper post-composing for the last couple of weeks, but I’m killing some time staying late at the office on Wednesday before leaving for a meeting at a location in between work and home, so you’ll end up getting this stream-of-consciousness listy thing on Thursday. This blog will be six years old nine days from now! Because March 16 is a Saturday, and I don’t post on Saturdays as a general […]
I was just happy to have all of them together. They were happy to goof around when we just wanted to get a rare photo of all of them together. This week’s Linked-Up Wordless Wednesday theme is “Happy.” Original photo by Paul Vasquez.

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 […]
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 […]

Book bloggers don’t usually have to look very hard to find good books to read. In fact, I sometimes think we have the opposite problem. Between the blogs, online newsletters, booksellers and industry contacts, sites like Goodreads, and conversations with our reading-loving friends online and off, we have almost too many places to learn about what we might want to read next. Do we need another “book-discovery” website? Maybe we book bloggers don’t–but even now, when […]
If you follow me on Twitter and/or Facebook, you know I share a lot of links (it’s most of what I do on Twitter most days, actually–thank you, Buffer!). I like passing along worthwhile reads, and I feel that it helps compensate for my being a spotty blog commenter. But it’s easy to miss things in the social-media stream, and sometimes I honestly can’t remember what I’ve already put out there, so it’s nice that […]
