We eat all the side dishes, of course! Around 2pm, I realized I was going to meet my writing goals for the day early, so I decided to make us a big Thanksgiving dinner after all. Yes, I know this is another off-the-writing-topic post, but since I mentioned meeting my...

I know that I haven’t updated in a while…I was mostly writing and doing some reading. However, today is Canadian Thanksgiving, so I wanted to make sure and post. Last year, we had been here about two weeks. In fact, I was here alone, painting the interior...

My husband and his favourite mode of transportation. My cat, Grinder…last Thanksgiving he was lost here on the island…for three weeks. Sophie, enjoying the great outdoors…it took her six months before she would go outside…and she’d been...

So…I’ve been thinking a lot about how to write this so that it comes out the way I mean it and not weird… I’ve just finished reading Caletti’s THE FORTUNES OF INDIGO SKYE. Boy did I love this book. I’ve liked other Caletti books...

I’ve been reading like crazy and I’m way too lazy to write about each book, so just know that you can’t go wrong with any of these books. I liked ’em all! PEELED by Joan Bauer – her latest and really fun. Ripe for a sequel if you ask me....

Yesterday I started reading a book I’d really been looking forward to because I loved the author’s other two books. By the end of page one, I knew what was going to happen immediately and by the end of page fifty, not only had it happened, but it was ALL...

Have I got exciting news for you. This is a book you don’t want to miss! Read my review here. This is not just an “I love this book”, but a proper review because this is the author’s debut novel and so I want to help her promote it.

In 1917 a brave friendship between a white farm boy and an African American city girl sends ripples through a small town in rural Alabama. My editor sent me an ARC of this book, and I cannot say enough good things about it, but I’ll try! First off, I just love the...

So, it’s just been brought to my attention that it’s Banned Book Week. I immediately dug out my “I read banned books” button, even though I’m home for the evening. Since I don’t want to get in trouble for posting someone...

One of the books my editor sent me was called MOUSE NOSES ON TOAST. She sent it because I mentioned that I liked the name. It is a chapter book. I read it one evening, thoroughly enjoyed it, and then passed it on to my niece for her eighth birthday (it wasn’t...

This is a cool shirt that you can get at ALA. So I just wrote this very awe inspiring and informative post about BBW and it disappeared. You’ll just have to use your imagination about the funny and interesting things I wrote. You can get all the info on BBW...

Long time no post here at Need To Read. Mostly because I’ve been reading Harry Potter. I just finished the whole series, I think it took me about two months, and I really enjoyed the time. I still am dreaming about being magical myself, even though I finished...

I received the new SCBWI bulletin in the mail today and was pleased to see an article of mine in it. Usually they have one or two of my pieces sitting around, already purchased, but I never know when they’ll end up in a bulletin, so it’s always a...

Maybe I’m just a softie – okay, I am – but Meg Cabot is the coolest person ever and this is why. It literally made me tear up…not like, you know, the end of that movie Beaches, or anything, but like a Hallmark commercial. RANSOM MY HEART is one...

On Sunday, I had to take the day off from editing. Not because it is a day of rest, but because I did a play. Twice actually – a matinee and an evening performance. As you may know, I was trained as an actress and worked professionally for a while, but I...

A fellow writer, Karmen Kooyers, sent me this quote (she didn’t say where she got it, but if anyone knows, please feel free to add it in the comments). When revising, “Cut down to the bones, but leave the heart.” I have to admit that cutting is way...

I think I mentioned I’m taking a summer splurge and reading all the HP books again. Well..I got through the first three very happily. Then the fourth one loomed, so I got it on audio because I knew I’d never be able to make myself read it. It’s much...
