The third and hopefully not final book of the Blood Lily Chronicles. This one grabs you in as soon as you start reading!

A review of the excellent Blood Lily Chronicles second book Torn.

To help further define what women’s literature is and maybe spark a story idea for you, I have compiled some common themes and sub-genres in women’s literature.

The Travels of Annie T. Hastings is literary fiction at it’s best. The story is of Annie T. Hastings, a woman in her 70’s desperate to find the past she left behind some 40 years ago. The story is based on the travels of the author’s mother and the journals she left behind upon her death.

The Quality Paperback Book Club is a mail order book club that gives great discounts on a variety of books. I signed up for a membership using their Buy 6 books for $1 plus shipping and handling. Here is my experience with this.

The Poison Tree is one of the best debut novels I have read in the past couple of years. Author Erin Kelly has really set the bar high for herself. In this novel we explore the world of laid back, free spirited college kids whose lives get turned upside down.

Bridie Clark is an excellent writer who keeps the reader engaged in the story and makes you want to not put the book down! The novel is one up and down after another as we watch Lucy blossom from a country girl to one of the most sought after women in New York.

Finding time to squeeze in some writing after work, after dinner, or even after the kids go to bed can be a challenge. Author Joseph Bates offers great advice about the how to of writing and encouragement to find the time to get the book in your head on to paper/computer screen.

There has been a nice trend of great debut novels this past year. Tiffany Baker is another name to add to your author’s to watch list. The Little Giant of Aberdeen County is her first novel but she writes like a pro.

If you could do one thing in your life that you always wanted to do, what would it be? Write a novel? Skydive? Learn to surf?
