A little bit of everything for you…

I’m gonna post some beautiful pictures and some funny ones, too! I’m still recovering from my long about with staph but it looks like I may have won this round! Yay I just hope it stays that way…

Serpentine, Serpentine,Serpentine

I was not sure it would ever get here. I got turned down for being an advanced reader and I (probably) deserved it, given the fact that I haven’t been posting since I got sick. In addition, I haven’t been able to focus enough to spend time with some of my favorite characters and my backlog is extremely large, so no questions as to what I am missing or reading now. Some things have popped up and others have been buried along the way. But I have an embarrassment of riches. Truly adored the best man speech and think I needed some of the messages therein. That being said I took some pictures of my signed copy from Left Bank Books, carefully and bought the eversion right at midnight and I devoured it! Sorry for an spoilers I might inadvertantly slip in. I am trying not to! Can’t wait to get the next one which I know is silly but we had so long to wait this. Thank you so much for sharing your inner charaters snark and sarcasm included!

Security You Need But Don’t Know About

As many of you know, I am an Irma survivor.  Irma was projected to hit the county where I lived straight on and that was where it was going to make landfall and if that had happened  I don’t know that I would be here to make this post but we were saved by our neighbors to the near South and Marco Island.  My heart goes out to them as they took the hit that could have been ours. My sympathy goes to everybody else who has been effected by Irma. We have also been effected  although we were not as badly affected as we had feared there’s a lot of damage and it’s not just physical damage to buildings– it’s mental damage on a massive scale.  Having to evacuate and decide what you would take and what you would leave which pictures would go with you and how much clothes what could you carry what were your limits which shelters were pet-friendly versus those that were not does your next door neighbor have a generator or can you take shelter in the local church or what’s the best thing to do all of those questions were decided in a matter of days and sometimes in a matter of minutes. My main hard drive which has pretty much everything I use in my daily life was damaged due to my hectic flight from my home to a friend’s business that had a generator and was more sturdily built than my house.  It had so much of my digital life on it… And so much i cannot imagine losing forever.  I wish this offer had come along 3 weeks ago, before Irma.  But let my loss be a lesson to you… Take action today

Pictures/Quotes and things to think about

A personal Admission

So, here is the deal with whats going on with me, this blog and the lack of content you are probably noticing…

My transition online went a little like this.  I’ve used FaceBook for years to share pictures with people far and wide as my kids aged.  And I used email when I tried (mostly unsuccessfully) to keep in touch with the family of my heart (my friends) and the family of my blood.  I started a blog back then because I was writing these long emails to keep everyone up to date on all the cute things my kids were doing.  Then the online social world took off, right around the time I became a widow.  And an online presence was the absolute last thought on my mind-although it is why I finally joined facebook.

I read books on my kindles, which changed through the years and managed my ebooks on my laptops.  I joined goodreads when it came about and followed my authors via their webpages and blogs.  And about a year ago, I started writing reviews of my books on goodreads and amazon.  There was so much negativity out there aimed at the authors and I wanted the authors to know that there were readers who weren’t negative and appreciated all the effort that went into their books.

I started reaching out to the authors (and their media minions) to offer support.  And some of them told me the best thing I could do for them is write reviews and write blog posts.  SO I started a tumblr blog-mostly to build up one authors body of work.  And when I went to upgrade my netgalley account and sign up for amazon ad links, I was told tumblr wasn’t considered a respectable platform.  Youtube and twitter are,  but not tumblr.  So, I needed a real website or a twitter following.

And I have spent the last month or so transitioning to wordpress and driving myself insane rying to make it look right, to get the tags right, to get the categories right.  I’m still not there!  But I realized if I didn’t start posting again the appearance wouldn’t matter-no one would see it!

So, I’m spending most of my time on the appearance!  And I will try to remember that I have to post too!  I want this site to be a place where book lovers can come and hear my thoughts on the latest books and share theirs.  I will work to make it that- so please leave comments or crosspost me!

And if you notice radio silence for too long, don’t be hesitant to email me and remind me that I’m doing this to build up my favorite authors-large and small!!!!
