What is the Celtic Coasts Reading Challenge? A group created and curated by Carolyn of RiedelFascination that covers all three Celtic countries! Whatever genre your passion might be; if your author is born or residing in Celtic country, if your literature takes place among these countries, or is connected to them strongly: this group is for you. The challenge runs from February 1, 2019 through January 31, 2020. I’ll be posting all the Celtic-related reading and research I do this year on this page to keep it all in one place. If you...
read moreWhat is the My Kind of Mystery Challenge?

read moreGeekerella by Ashley Poston “I suck at being social. I think one thing and my mouth says something completely different, like I’m possessed. By a whole lot of stupid.” “It’s also awkward to be so short you can see all the way up into someone’s cerebral cortex, but welcome to my life.” “We might all be different – we may ship different things or be in different fandoms – but if I learned anything from twenty-three days in a too-blue uniform playing a character I thought I could never be, it’s that...
read moreThe Poet X by Elizabeth Acemedo. What a beautiful, painful, stunning book. Yet a book where pain doesn’t always win. I was hesitant to read it at first because of it being written in blank verse. I needn’t have been. I’m embarrassed, actually, that I knew of it for so long and yet held back, and it took a readathon to get me to go ahead and give it a chance. But isn’t that why we participate in readathons? Not just to fill in ticky-boxes on a list, but to find new books, new voices, to love? Listening to it as an...
read moreOnce upon a time… … three terrific book-vloggers decided to sponsor a 5-book readathon of black books featuring black people or written by black authors. It was initially was intended for part of February but quickly expanded to last the entire month. So if you see specific dates in February, you can ignore them and know that yes, it really does last for the entirety of Black History Month. Here’s a five-minute video explanation. Jesse is succinct and easy to follow, and also? Adorable! [I list the info beneath it, too.]...
read moreI’m busily back in the world of the Fury Triad. Want to know what I’ve been researching lately? Can I tell you without giving away any spoilers? I think maybe I can. Back in the 1400s a card game called Tarocchi became popular amongst the wealthy in what we know today as Italy. [Amongst: a sign my brain is living in the UK, now!] It was known by different names in different parts of Europe, including Tarot in France. These cards were hand-painted, each one a small work of art. Now you know why only the wealthy played! The deck...
read moreNow that writing and publishing Revenge of the Killer Flamingos is behind me and I’m diving back into The Fury Triad, I don’t think a more inspiring thing could happen to me than to receive this review! I’m not sure if lauregalie is a name or has some other meaning, but thank you, Monika! I’m so happy you are enjoying the books and even more motivated than ever to complete Untune the Sky, as if I needed more motivation! From the review: Burroughs’ writing style is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. It’s...
read moreMJ O’Malley has issues. ADHD, dyscalculia, and associated cognitive disorders, and– MJ? She just shrugs and calls it her dys-brain. Pooks has issues. ADHD, dyscalculia, and associated cognitive disorders, and– Pooks? She just shrugs and calls it her dys-brain. Detect anything? Of course you do, because you’re smart. So’s M.J. [We won’t say anything about Pooks because that would either be vain or sad, depending on, you know, what we confessed.] There will be more about dys-brain and how it affects...
read moreOr rather, e-readers and apps and such! Oh. Wait. It’s in the building, too! Unless the e-readers and apps are outside. Or in automobiles. Or– Ahem. Let’s keep going forward, shall we? Yes it is launched up into the stratosphere and I’m beyond excited! I hope you buy it! I hope you read it! I hope you like it! I hope you review it even if you don’t! Like it, I mean. Reviewing without reading would be awkward. So okay, this is the book down there below this writing I’m typing right now. MJ [don’t call...
