Monday's Muse~Fall Road

-

I’m working on a secret project that I hopefully get to tell you all about soon. This image inspired me as I worked on it the project last week. Like the picture, this project is a dark~channeler related~one, and that’s all I can give away about it right now.

Last week I finished reading The Selkie Spell by Sophie Moss. It was a beautifully written tale of Irish lore that I absolutely adored. For a full review click here. Now I’m reading Artemis Rising by Cheri Lasota and am loving it. Such a rich story, in such a rich setting, I highly recommend checking it out.

What inspired you last week? Reading anything great that you’d like to recommend?

    A bullying situation last week inspired me to write my today's post.

    I love Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry. It's exactly the kind of book I love to read.

      I'll be sure to stop by and read it. I've heard Pushing The Limits is good, I may have too give it a try.

    The complexity of people inspired me all week. An amazing species, with the ability to choose (almost all the time) where and how to use our energy.

    Yay for secret project. I'm reading OUTLANDER by Diana Gabaldon. It's been in my TBR pile forever, and happy to finally get a chance to read it.

      I'm embarrassed to say how long that one has been on my to read pile. And I've really been wanting to read it! You'll have to let me know how it is.

Banned Books Week Hop And Giveaway

Today I'm post-poning the creature feature to take part in a very important blogfest honoring banned books. It was brought to my attention by the fantastic I Am A Reader Not A Writer blog . Nearly every one of the great Ellen Hopkins's novels has been banned somewhere. She writes about things that challenge kids today, sex, drugs, prostitution, terrible things for sure, but things kids are dealing with whether we like it or not. Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak, about a girl who is raped, is banned in many places. Others may surprise you such as The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, The House of Night novels by P.C. Cast, The Golden Compass novels by Philip Pullman, and the Vampire Academy novels by Richelle Mead. There are so many more that it saddens me to go on. I've recently learned that my own novel, The Secret of Spruce Knoll, will not be carried in my most local bookstore because of an intense scene in it. I unde...
