See the full list of topics HERE. Last week’s topic: Favorite Outings This week’s topic: Best Childhood Memory Topic suggested by Little Miss Reader Wow, this is really hard for me! I’ve got tons of great childhood memories from our old house, but it’s more of a collection of images than an actual memory of an event. Our dog Bear, Christmas in the old house, my parents, my room, the time when we had a tornado watch and I dragged all of my […]

A guest post by Ashley at Nose Graze Hey folks! My name is Ashley and I have a book blog over at Nose Graze. Huge thanks to Jessi for letting me stop by today. I’m going to address a topic that literally scares the pants off of me. I feel like it’s so touchy and so controversial, it makes me nervous to even think about it too loudly. But it’s time to put on my big girl pants and just get […]

If it works for armies and athletes, maybe it can work for me. I’m a girl who believes in fighting for what she wants. I wasn’t a huge fan of Venom, but something I mentioned in my review was that I was really impressed with Fiona’s (Paula’s) writing style. This book was no exception! There’s something about the way she puts her words together that makes you want to keep reading. Her prose is interesting and entertaining! As far as […]

In yesterday’s post, I gave you some insight as to what’s been going on in my life since I’ve been gone. (Today’s post is much shorter, I promise!) Today, I’m going to talk about what coming back means for Novel Heartbeat. Before I found the house, I was burnt out. I took a short break back in March, then I went on vacation. I came back for a week or two, then the house hunting started and I disappeared for […]
