Army of the Republic Winner
First of all, a question. I am having hella spam problems. In the last week or two, I’ve gone from around 75 or so spam comments a day to around 500 spam comments a day. Clearly, I cannot go on approving all comments/commenters. I have decided to try a captcha program. I know, I know, it sucks to have to do that while commenting, but what can I do? My question, therefore, is, does anyone know of a good captcha plugin for wordpress? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Going to Central Europe (Really, I Am!)
In less than two weeks, I’m going home to Michigan for my friends’ wedding. While I’m there, my husband and I will celebrate our 5 year anniversary (actually, at the rehearsal dinner!).
FreeVerse: The Road Not Taken
I doubt that I am introducing anyone to this poem. In fact, probably everyone who does FreeVerse has already used it (if there’s anyone left doing FreeVerse…Come back to us, Cara!)
Give Away: The Army of the Republic
Guess what? I have an extra copy of The Army of the Republic by Stuart Archer Cohen to give to one lucky reader!
The Army of the Republic by Stuart Archer Cohen
I picked up this book a few months ago, read a couple chapters, got bored, put it back down. A few days ago I picked it back up and wondered how I could have possibly been bored the first time around.
Hidden Wives Winner!
Thanks to TLC and Forge Books, somebody will receive a copy of Hidden Wives! And that somebody is…
I really wanted to love this book, but it’s over-narration killed it for me. Never in recent memory has it taken me so long to get through a book so short (just over 200 pages).
I…actually liked this book. I had invited my Inner Teenaged Self up from the basement where she’s usually kept and we read it together. She liked it, too. So, here is is Inner Teenaged Self (you can picture her has having purple spikey hair, fishnet tights, and doc Martins, and that will be a pretty accurate description of me my Sophomore year of high school).
I really enjoyed Ellen Horan’s debut novel, 31 Bond Street. Centering on a murder in 1850’s New York City, it is more about a lawyer, dedicated to defending the accused, than the who dunnit you might expect.
And the Got Books? winner is…
