Renee began Throwback Thursday at Its Book Talk as a way to share some of her old favorites as well as sharing books that she wants to read that were published over a year ago. Books that were published over a year ago are almost always easier to find at libraries or at a discounted sale price. As I have been sifting through my TBR list and purging those books that no longer hold my interest, I came across several from years past that I’d love to share with you! Continue reading
Most of us have heard of NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writers Month. In case you don’t know, November is National Novel Writers month. On https://nanowrimo.org, you can join a massive community committed to writing in their quest to reach 50,000 words written for the month. Of course, you can set your own goal. Maybe you only want to write 25,000 words. Maybe you want to write 5000. Your goal is up to you. Most members of the writing community are supportive, kind, and willing to offer respectful advise if it is asked for. Continue reading
Each week in my Book Spotlight piece I will be bringing you an upcoming release. These books are ones I am excited about whether they be from a new or an established author. This week’s book comes from actress/author Krysten Ritter. She would be most recognizable from her roll as Jessica Jones. Ritter has now branched out into the literary world with her novel Bonfire.

I set my goal for the standard 50,000 words. This is my first dive into the NaNoWriMo pool and I’d like to share updates on my progress periodically with you lovely folks.

Now, I will admit that this is a novel I started on prior to NaNoWriMo so my book total will be different than my NaNoWriMo total. I love writing and I truly hope to have this first draft completed by the end of the month.
I wish any of you participating the best of luck and feel free to share you progress with me! I can be found here on my blog as well as on Twitter (@literaryweaponry).
Here we are, the end of October, and only two months left this year. Terrifying concept, isn’t it? I swear, the older I get the faster and faster time goes. I’m sure we could get into a whole discussion about how all time is relative but that is far too big of a hole to be jumping into today. Instead, lets have our October Reading Wrap Up!

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a topic and you are free to use that topic and/or variations of that topic to make your top ten list. You don’t have to do all ten. Instead you can do three, five, fifteen, whatever you want. A full list of the weekly themes can be found here.
This week’s theme is a Halloween Freebie! Happy Halloween! Let your creativity run wild with a themed post to celebrate! I must admit, I have never been terribly into Halloween. Sure, as a kid it was fun, but as an adult I must admit it was just fun to hang up a few decorations and light a few autumn themed candle. Now that I have a kiddo to take trick or treating it has certainly taken on a different light. In fact, I just finished sewing her costume. Now, lets see where this Halloween theme takes us, shall we?
I saw this tag at The Book Cover Girls and thought it would be perfect to do today with Halloween just around the corner. The tag was created by Never Not Reading and is obvious based on the Halloween cult classic Hocus Pocus! Continue reading

Each week in my Book Spotlight piece I will be bringing you an upcoming release. These books are ones I am excited about whether they are from a new or an established author. This week I have a book from an author I have read multiple books by in the past. I have loved every book so far in this series and don’t see any reason for the newest one to be any different.
