Bookish goals and resolutions Read 100 books. This was my goal for 2015, but I didn’t quite make it. I was close though – 96 books! I’m hoping this year I can break into triple digits. Participate in at least two readathons. This shouldn’t be too hard – Bout of Books and Beat the Heat! Catch up on review copies. For a while there, I was crazy swamped with review copies. I’ve been doing great lately, though! My NetGalley ratio […]

The truth is, she’s named after Zenith SunSoar from The Wayfarer Redemption series by Sara Douglass. My youngest cat, River – short for RiverStar – is named after RiverStar SunSoar from the same series. And I’ve thought about naming a future male pet Drago, short for DragonStar…you guessed it, SunSoar. I would love […]
So I’ve been branching out on Instagram more lately – visiting other accounts, perusing my favorite hashtags, creeping my suggestions for new posts and people. And I’ve noticed something. I stumbled on a picture in a new account. I got to looking at it, and thought, Wait. I just saw this picture this morning….on someone else’s account.

You all know what I’m talking about. You see a cover, and it’s SO beautiful you immediately fall in love with it, and you’d do ANYTHING to have the book in your hands right now so you can drool over it. Then you start to read it.
