You don’t want to miss this !!!!!  Mark your calendars for this coming Sunday, May 23rd.  There have been many discussions on many blogs about EReaders vs Print.  Right???  What we, the consumers and avid readers think.  BUT, what about an author’s point of view.  Well,  are you sitting down????

On Sunday, an author, that is presently on virtual tour for his current book will be giving us his thoughts.  Not only that….BUT….he generously has agreed to check in, here on this blog,  and answer any questions you may have or reply to your comments.  Who is this author you ask?   Its………..

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
*Grab your current read
*Open to a random page
*Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
*Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My Teaser:
  “Well, Mr. Shaw, as is generally the case when we have the discovery of a homicide victim, the suspect pool is initially deep and wide.  Are you in it?  Sure.  So are plenty of others, though.

From So Cold The River by Michael Koryta   page 257
I haven’t gotten that far yet but after finding this, I need to read a bit faster.

Musing Mondays (1 of 3)

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about movies based on books…
What happens when you see a movie based on a book/story, especially one you’ve not read? Do you feel the need to track it down and read it?
Today’s question is an easy one for me.  I am not a “movie” person.  It is only on a rare occasion that I watch a movie.  And on those rare occassions, it is not one based on a book.  Its something that my hubby wants to watch and trust me, it wouldn’t have anything to do with a book.  I would rather read and use my own imagination than watching a movie.
