Of Particular Note
It’s time for applications for the Short List Judges of the Inspys. If you have been a judge in the past or you’re interested in judging this year, please head on over to the Inspys site to sign up!
If you’ve been reading The Novel Life for any length of time you’ll know The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon is my favorite novel. A few of my blogger friends are hosting a read-along during the month of March. I’ve signed up to talk all things Cemetery of Books, have you?
A new-to-me favorite book review and author blog. Katherine’s taste in books are similar, her reviews are thorough, but what I really love is how she states what she didn’t enjoy about a book. The only other blogger I’ve read who does it with as much kindness and grace is Juju from Tales of Whimsy. It takes a special talent to write an objective review with such consideration to the author.
How was your February? Did you get much accomplished or were you like me and feel like you did a lot of running but not a lot of gaining?
I leave you with more of my photography practice…and a favorite quote. Enjoy!
