Hi everyone! I went on the hunt today for a good tag to do. I was hoping to get my review for Renegades up but it just didn’t happen. At the end of NaNoWriMo I am mentally burnt and just didn’t have it in me to put that together this evening. So, in lieu of a review, I bring up the Reader Confession Tag! I spotted this tag over at Modern Witch’s Bookshelf. Continue reading

NaNoWriMo 2017 – WINNER
That’s right folks. I did it. I completed my first NaNoWriMo. Official final NaNo word count is 53,200. I have already dove into editing and am really loving it. I’ve heard from others that editing is terrible and difficult but so far I far prefer it to drafting. The tweaking, adding little bits, correcting things that went a little off in drafting…for me it is fun!
Did you participate in NaNoWriMo this year? How did you do? Talk to me!
Throwback Thursday – The Queen’s Vow: A Novel of Isabella of Castile
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

Top Ten Tuesday – Books on my Winter TBR
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 Top Ten Books On My Winter TBR. I am personally one of those people that don’t often actually follow my TBR but there are certainly a few books I’m looking forward to reading when it becomes too cold to do much outside!
Self imposed hiatus over
Hello all!
As some of you may have noticed, I have been absent here at Literary Weaponry for the last week. That was because of a self imposed hiatus. I’m not going to get into the whys outside of saying that I needed some time away.
I am back now, but I think I will be changing my posting schedule and perhaps a few other things. We’ll see how it goes.
For now, I will just say that I am nearly done with Renegades by Marissa Meyer so hopefully that review will be up by the end of the week. I still expect to be taking part in Top Ten Tuesday and WWW Wednesdays when relevant.
Hope to speak with you all soon!
