Critically Yours: Diverse Reads 2013: Reviews
http://critically-yours.blogspot.com/2013/02/diverse-reads-2013-reviews.html
Tuesday, February 19, 2013. Diverse Reads 2013: Reviews. I've had an amazing streak of good reads lately. Here are some mini-reviews, in the order I read them:. THE BROKEN LANDS by Kate Milford. Did you know that Brooklyn's name may have been derived from the Dutch word for fractured, or broken lands? If you're as enamored with that historical fact as I am, and all the potent symbolism behind it, then you must read BROKEN LANDS. THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS by Rebecca Skloot. And if that hasn't c...

http://critically-yours.blogspot.com/2013/01/reading-stats-for-2012.html
Tuesday, January 8, 2013. Reading Stats for 2012. Reading Stats for 2012:. DNFs (Did Not Finish): 44 (34% of books started). Some of my reasons for DNFs: "Put me to sleep.

No characterization, depth," "Too dark and artsy," "Too angsty, no action.". Books I bought after reading a free Nook sample: 10. It was also a year of read...

http://janemcloughlin.blogspot.com/2013/12/happy-brave-new-year.html
At Yellow Lake and Other Places. A blog by children's writer Jane McLoughlin. At Yellow Lake Reviews. Tuesday, 31 December 2013. Happy Brave New Year. It's been a quiet time on the blog, what preparations for the holidays, trying to forge ahead with a new work-in-progress, and batting away the agents of creative despair and self-doubt that have been winging their way to me with alarming regularity. But on the outside, I'll be all "Yes, of course! And no one will know that my "inner marshmallow" is quiver...

Critically Yours: Letting go in life and writing
http://critically-yours.blogspot.com/2013/10/letting-go-in-life-and-writing.html
Tuesday, October 1, 2013. Letting go in life and writing. It should come as no surprise that I'm a bit of a control freak. And a little opinionated. Especially when it comes to kids and literature. So this past week, starting a new job as a middle school Language Arts teacher, has been full of ups and downs. And while I haven't done any personal writing recently (don't worry, I'll get back to it! I'll let you know how it goes. Have you ever found letting go helped your writing? Posted by Anne M Leone.

Jokainen hetki elämässä on tärkeä. Jokaikinen. Tämäkin. Arvioita Villa Sibyllan kirous -dekkarista. Arvioita Kosto ikuisessa kaupungissa -dekkarista. Arvioita Kuolema sypressin varjossa -dekkarista.

Jokainen hetki elämässä on tärkeä. Jokaikinen. Tämäkin. Arvioita Villa Sibyllan kirous -dekkarista. Arvioita Kosto ikuisessa kaupungissa -dekkarista. Arvioita Kuolema sypressin varjossa -dekkarista.
