Random weekly question: Do you review books? If so, who do you review for? If not, was it by choice? Why?

Well this is a little bit of a already answered question given the fact that I am answering it on a book review blog. So yes I do write reviews for my books and I do them for a few places, I of course do them here on my own blog and I have also done them for a place called Readers Favorite. Yes it was a choice that I made simply because I enjoy book reviews. When I first started this blog I thought it would be a nice way to challenge myself in my reading and keep track of my reading. Over the years I may have failed at some of my challenges (likely happening again this year) but I always enjoy writing the reviews and doing the weekly Meme’s here on the blog. So overall I am happy that I decided to begin book reviews.

Ever morning, until you dead in the ground, you gone have to make this decision. You gone have to ask yourself, “Am I gone believe what them fools say about me today?” ~ Kathryn Stockett, The Help

Guitar Strings

- Ambrosia Leave a comment

Being someone who has several members of family and friends who play guitar I am always keeping my eyes peeled for items I can buy them for Christmas (which is coming up fast!) and other gift giving days. I have found personally one of the best things to give a guitar player is strings because that is something they are always going to need.

The trouble for those who do not know much about music can come when they are trying to decide what kind of strings to get. I have had good luck with getting 11 guage for most of my guitar playing family and friends but try to be a little snoopy if you have to in finding the right kind for them. If you don’t want to go through the trouble of finding out what kind of strings they use go for picks, guitar players also need picks all the time.

Random weekly question: Have you ever chosen a book, mostly because of its cover art, and then regretted it because the content didn’t live up to your expectations?

*Hangs her head* Sadly..I must admit that yes. Yes I have done this more then once actually which is the very sad thing.

“Your emotions reveal where to direct and release energy as needed because the letting go of separation-based feelings returns you to a higher state of Love. Your ultimate power and higher levels of consciousness are found in the ownership of all of your energies and experiences, dear one. You can deny your feelings, and thus deny your power and continue with unconscious actions. Or you can own all of it, love yourself more, and be a conscious creator with all of your energy.” ~ The Art of Trapeze: One Woman’s Journey of Soaring, Surrendering, and Awakening (Awakening Consciousness Series, #1) by Molly McCord

Do you read any horror, or something scary, in honor of Halloween? Why, or why not?

No I don’t because I just tend to read whatever is interesting to me at the time. I did in the past try to read things for the season, Christmas and the like but it didn’t really work out. I do naturally seem to get a little more in the vampire mood for October though.

THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: What fictional character would you enjoy meeting? Why?

This is an interesting question and I really do have to sit back and think about it. There are a lot of fictional characters that I would like to have a chance to meet. If I could only pick one I think I would pick Henrietta Selwick from the Pink Carnation series. There is something about her that just sticks out in my mind I would love to talk with her and go on an adventure around Regency England or France.

The random thoughts of a Sunday…

Bear with me a moment, dear readers, as we take a small break from the books to talk about one of the many tools used to write them. Pens. If you know me (and most of you do) you know that I love Pens of all kinds and often write things long hand you also know that I have a small Etsy shop for handmade goods and I have been looking for some affordable ways of promotion for the shop. It occurred to me that promotional twist pens might be a great way to go about advertising the shop. It would allow me to combine my love of pens (really you should see me when school supplies are out!) with the need for some affordable and solid promotion. After looking around a little bit on the web I found that there are some cheap pens at PenFactory.com that I think will work out very nicely. Not only are they affordable but I really do like the look of their twist promotional pens and they come in such a fun variety of colors. You know I am going to get purple for Creations of Bastet how could I not?

Thank you for tuning into my muse and back to your regularly scheduled book reviews.

This one is Hosted at the Booking through Thursday Blog.

A little late again but here we go.

Do you have people you can talk to about books you’ve read? Share delight in plot twists, explore how much fun it was, or how badly written?

I do have people I can talk about books with. Some are more enthusiastic then others about it but they do listen either way. I love when I can share a book I have read with someone who has also read it. I love being able to see what we agree on and what we disagree on within the books.
