Welcome to my weekly feature that focuses on audiobooks. It’s time to… A Year of Listening! Here we are on the last day of 2015, and I’m celebrating one year of Listen Up! and audiobooks! I’ve really enjoyed my weekly check-ins, reviews, guest posts, and all things audiobooks. I listened to 52 audiobooks during 2015, […]
VampBard’s Best Of 2015 I’ve been blogging about books with That’s What I’m Talking About for six or seven years. I think I’ve had a fabulous reading year, even though I’ve read fewer books than in years past. I thought about why the books seem better, and I think it’s because I read primarily ‘known’ […]
Welcome to the end of another wonderful year when it comes to reading, listening, and blogging. Highlights from 2015 Co-Hosting #FitReaders with Felicia the Geeky Blogger! Co-Hosting Mistletoe Madness for the third year. My new co-hosts this year were Blogging By Liza and Books Make Me Happy! Starting Listen Up! my weekly look at all things #audiobook. Joining the […]
It’s that time of year again. The time we all look back over the past year and take a look at our favorite reads. This year is a bit different for me because I started listening to audiobooks. Audiobooks are a very different experience, but an equally valid method of enjoying the written word. I […]
The end of 2013 is here! And what a crazy year it’s been! I read more books this year than ever – finally reaching over one hundred books read in one year. As of December 31, 2013, I read a total of 103 books!! I think I may actually be brave, and make my goal […]
Twimom has suggested that if I wanted, I could share my weight-loss story with you. At first, I thought it would be great, that maybe I could help inspire or encourage someone. Then, after I was looking at the pictures of me through this journey, I was embarrassed and became afraid. As I would have […]
Here we are at the close of another year. This year my goal was to focus more on reading and less on the mechanics of blogging, and I’m happy to report it was a success! Emotionally and mental I was in a much better place, finding time to read and enjoying writing the reviews. I […]
Well, another year has come and gone. I am happy to report that I have conquered another year blogging and reviewing so many wonderful books. Once again, my total number of books read has declined from 2010 to 2011, I’m guessing it will be roughly 20 fewer books this year than last. However, my total […]
We the addicted to reading, Gikany and Una, have decided to come clean. Everyone has those guilty pleasures. Considering, though, the depth of our addiction, we do not just reread a book…Gikany and Una have a habit of rereading series. *cough* This has no bearing on us being late with our blog posts to Twimom. […]
Gikany and Una read a LOT of urban fantasy and fantasy since it is our preferred genre (although paranormal romance rates right up there as well). But something we’ve noticed this year in our reading is the increase in women that are not just heroines in the classic Gone With the Wind style, but more […]
When she’s not reading books for That’s What I’m Talking About, VampBard has a day job that really doesn’t need to know what she reads in her spare time. 10. Secretly, my favorite reason to have a Kindle is because I can read paranormal romance in public without using a book cover or wrapping my […]
Whether you’ve read these titles or not, you should. Jus’ Sayin’. Whether you agree or not, this is how I picture my main men. Additionally, these are some of my favorite males from 2011 reads. Snag a tall, cool drink or grab a fan, and enjoy the eye candy! Happy Holidays! 10. Arik. The Aegis […]
When I escape my real life into the pages of a book, I like to really escape, like into another dimension. As a female reader, however, even the most fascinating time traveler or brilliant spaceship captain better have a love interest to hold mine. I have yet to figure out what the magic formula is […]
Welcome to the end of another year. This is my first year blogging, and it was interesting to see how my book list panned out. I read fewer books in 2010 than 2009, but that is understandable now that I’m writing reviews, completing author interviews, blog hopping and chatting with my gals (and guys) and […]
