OMG. This one went missing in my crazy email account (I guess it’s really true that Gmail sends legitimate stuff to spam). GASP!!! I almost missed this one.

A TOP TWENTY LIST OF PIA’S BEST OF THE BEST!!!! Oh I can’t WAIT to play in this one! 😉

So, yes… it’s late, but better late than never! And anyway, I know there are a few in our book world that still have their Christmas tree up, so it’s still plenty close to our “New Year” celebration, right? We’re still on time. 😛 read more

Reader Favorites – Nay’s Top 5 Favorite Books of 2017

By 15 Comments

Our wonderful Nay had a BIG year this year, some hurdles and some HUGE successes and we are SO happy to have her with us here every day. We LOVE YOU NAY!!!!

“Wow! What a year 2017 was! I had a bad thing that made it my worst year and I had a miraculous thing that made it one of my best years. So with all of the activity and the stress, I ended up falling into the biggest reading slump(s)

I’ve ever been in, totaling about 6 months of my precious reading year. And although many books sounded fantastic and many of my friends were buddy reading and gushing over them, I either couldn’t bring myself to pick up my Kindle and get started, or my concentration was so bad that I just couldn’t get into them, even though I wanted so badly to achieve the escape that can be found in a book. read more
