How hard is it to remember that people require a "who"? And here's another--myself instead of me. My boss did this all this time and it drove me crazy. Are we so afraid to  be in the spotlight that we have to say, "So-and-so and myself did such-and-so?"

The Book of Lost Things (Mister Max #1) by Cynthia Voigt- Review

The Book of Lost Things (Mister Max #1) by Cynthia Voigt, Iacopo Bruno (illustrator) Publisher- Knopf Books for Young Readers Available Now Hardcover 400 pages To Buy Links- Amazon / Kindle / Audio Book CD / Audible/   Barnes and Noble / Indiebound / Kobo Book Depository Goodreads-    Max Starling's theatrical father likes to say that at twelve a boy is independent. He also likes to boast (about his acting skills, his wife's acting skills, a fortune only his family knows is metaphorical), but more than anything he likes to have adventures. Max Starling's equally theatrical mother is not a boaster but she enjoys a good adventure as much as her husband. When these two disappear, what can sort-of-theatrical Max and his not-at-all theatrical grandmother do? They have to wait to find out something, anything, and to worry, and, in Max's case, to figure out how to earn a living at the same time as he maintains his independence. This is the first of three books, all featuring ...

Bookish Things, Book Signings (pictures) and ......

So Date Night in the Rosdol household Saturday night was not spent with David watching football and Heather reading and writing. No we made a little trip to Asheville to see these ladies:  Yes, yes that's right! My lovely indie book store,(it's two hours away but I love it anyway) Malaprops hosted (from left to right) Erin Bowman author of Taken , Sarah J. Maas - make that NYT Best Sellers Author of Throne of Glass , Crown of Midnight and  five e-novellas in the series (and some other things I'll get to) and Susan Dennard diligently signing her books Something Strange and Deadly and A Darkness Strange and Lovely (and also some other things). The first thing you should know is I was too scared to ask the one question I wanted to ask. So I just sat there and listened. On the front row. I was by myself for awhile until the lady at Malaprops that runs the events started threatening people. Not meanly, but she promised she wouldn't force a question out of people in t...
