Saturday Special: A Tequila Sangria and Much More

It’s been a long week. Not in a bad way. In a very productive way. False Truth 10 is now just days away from being available for pre-order, and the Kobo Book Signing event in London is closer to becoming a reality. But now I’m ready for a break!

Conveniently, I’ve been eyeing this for a few days, and I think this weekend is the time to indulge in a tequila sangria. Won’t you join me?

Tequila SangriaYou can find the recipe from The Cooking Channel HERE.

One of my favorite activities of the week was officially compiling the results of your answers to the question, What is your biggest reading pet peeve?

Reading Pet Peeves

You can click on the image to view a larger version of the pie chart of results.
The majority of the results fell under the category of “Other.” I should have expected as much, considering what a creative group you readers are. You’d rather come up with your own answers to the question than choose from the answers I suggested! Fantastic! Thanks again for the creativity and for weighing in.

I can’t leave you this weekend without letting you know that today is NATIONAL SCHOOL LIBRARIAN DAY!

School Books
Do you know any school librarians? I know a few, and let’s just say they are all very patient people. School librarians are critical to instilling a love of reading in children, and I know you appreciate that as much as I do. I’d like to expand today’s holiday to National ALL Librarians Day. This weekend, please take a moment to tell a librarian, school or otherwise, “thank you”!

If you’re reading this and you’re a librarian, THANK YOU!!!

Caffeinate and Carry On!

Amanda Knox is cleared. Last week, Italy’s highest appeals court overturned Knox’s murder and sexual assault convictions in the charges stemming from the 2007 death of Knox’s British roommate, Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy. Like many of you, I’ve been interested in this case for several years. I’ve spent many years practicing law and I […]

Saturday Special: Out Like A Lamb?

At the beginning of the month, I mentioned the idiom that March is “in like a lion, out like a lamb.” It’s hard to believe March is headed out already. Where does the time go? I’ve spent many hours this month finishing the final books in my False Truth Serial. False Truth 9 released this week. […]

What’s your biggest reading pet peeve?

If you’re anything like me, there’s been more than one occasion when you’ve started a book and read a few pages or a few chapters, set the book down, and never came back. It happens. No shame in that. But WHY does it happen??? That’s the question that a recent Fussy Librarian survey addressed, and it got […]

What Are Bitcoins and Why Do Criminals Like Them?

What are bitcoins? Sounds like something you’d find in the sand at the beach with a metal detector, doesn’t it? I found out a few things about bitcoins when I was researching False Truth 8: A Jordan Fox Mystery. But the concept is so abstract, I’m still trying to wrap my head around it! A special I caught […]
