On Saturday I attended PNBA- the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association trade show. The organization supports independent bookstores in the Pacific Northwest and once a year they bring together publishers, authors and other book-related companies. This year the event was held in Tacoma, WA at the Hotel Murano. I went to see what the publishers are talking about for spring ... Read More...
Armchair BEA 2014 Introduction
Last year I went to BEA and it was like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory and the fashion closet in Devil Wears Prada all rolled into one- excitement and activity beyond belief. Unfortunately, living on the opposite coast means it's a bit expensive to go every year and while I love reading and blogging it's not bringing in the big bucks. I was surprised and ... Read More...

I’m aging myself right now ... Read More...
2014 TBR Pile Challenge: Master List
Hello 2014! I hope all of you had a nice holiday season and, if applicable, some time off from work to read. I got a few books read (and need to get writing about them) but was also able to visit more of the blogs I enjoy. It was when I was visiting Shannon at River City Reading that I first saw the 2014 TBR Challenge. TBR means To Be Read—which is the shorthand we book freaks ... Read More...
