January Odds n Ends

In some ways it's hard to believe it's the end of January, and in other ways I can't believe it's not March yet. LoL

Even with the twists and turns January took, it was a good month--and those twists made it even better. Esther launched her Bookworms Review site and posted her first interview and book giveaway. I thought it was rather fitting that Janice Thompson is first since she was the one to recommend the girls do this. =) Be sure to stop by over there and leave a comment to be entered in the giveaway!!

Coming up in February my friends and I have a writing challenge we've dubbed Jiffy, for those of us who missed out on NaNo, for one reason or another.*waving to Joanne* Our goal: 35,000 words in 28 days. Now, I know that those of you who NaNo'd are wondering what the big deal is, but let me tell ya, I'm chewing my nails over this. I'll let ya know how it goes.

Here's my youngest. He's lovin this outfit--his very active imagination takes care of the rest. He's also the one that was happy dancin when he saw it was snowing outside. Notice that he has his guns tied down. That's due to his brother, the one right above him in age, reading some of the Louis L'Amour books my dad gave us, before I realized it and decided they might be a little too old for him. =)

Don't forget the author spotlight and book giveaway with CJ Darlington that's open until Saturday night. You can enter twice on these posts.

Hope to see you on Sunday with something else I've been mulling over this week but just haven't had time to blog about. Love you guys!!

Introducing the Bookworms

Last week took another surprising turn and I'm really, REALLY excited about it. My daughter, Esther, decided it was time to start the book review site she's been thinking about since Janice Thompson suggested it to my girls. (Thank you, Janice!) We spent four days working on setting up the site and and I believe it's about ready to take off. =)

Bookworms Review—Reviews with a teen twist can be found at www.bookwormsreview.com. Esther and Abby, my older daughter who is also known as Rosalie Patience, will be doing book reviews with a teen twist and hope to be doing author interviews and book giveaways when they can. Although their reviews and interviews will be from a teen's perspective, it's not a site just for teens! Their first review will be posted soon and they're in the process of setting up more interviews.

Both girls are avid, and fast, readers and I can't keep them in books. They also love writing, so this review site is a perfect fit for them. At this point, their reviews will range from older books to new releases as they schedule with authors to be influencers. They read almost every genre (except horror LoL) so there's no telling what book you'll find there.

I hope you'll join me in welcoming them to the blog world and the world of Christian book reviews and author interviews!
