Top Ten Tuesday: Tips for Attending Book Signings
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. There are two major book signings occurring this month and some later this year, so this week I thought I’d share Tips for Attending Book Signings. Book Bonanza is taking place in Texas this week, and Apollycon will be held in Washington, D.C. at the end of the month. I’ve been fortunate to have attended several large book signings, and I’ve learned some tips along the way that I thought would be helpful. I’ll be at Apollycon this year, so if you’re planning to attend let me know. I’d love to meet you and chat books.
Time for a Change
I can’t believe it’s been almost seven years since I started my blog as a hobby to help me get through a rough time in my life. What a learning curve it was—and still is! Just as my taste in books has evolved over time, so too has my design aesthetic. My old blog graphics no longer suit me. I decided it’s time for a change.
Review: The Single Dad by Marni Mann
Single parent romance is one of my favorite tropes, and I particularly have a soft spot for strong men raising little girls on their own.
Top Ten Tuesday: Books On My Summer 2022 To-Read List
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is Books On My Summer 2022 To-Read List. Summer is my time for pleasure reads. I typically limit the number of ARCs so that I’m free to read whatever I want, whenever I want, without having to be on a schedule. I’ve got a variety of books I’m looking forward to reading. It should be interesting to see which ones I actually read.

Mini Review: The Unidentified Redhead by Alice Clayton
It’s difficult for me to review The Unidentified Redhead because comedy is perhaps the most highly subjective of all genres. I can only summarize my own personal opinion in a few words. Freaking hilarious. Entertaining characters. Sexy. Fun. Bawdy. Steamy. Captivating. Utter perfection. Take it for what it’s worth. Recommended for fans of: Romantic Comedy Hollywood Age Gap Romance Steamy, hilarious sexy times
Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Wish Had an Epilogue
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is Books I Wish Had An Epilogue. This was a difficult topic for me because the majority of the books I’ve read have epilogues, with the exception of mysteries and thrillers. I had to dig deep in my library to find a handful of books that don’t have an epilogue, so I’m amending this post to include books I wish had a lengthier epilogue.
