Well, squiders, I was looking at my bookshelves for books to read for the next readalong, and I realized something: I am terrible at picking out books. Sure, we did Harry Potter and A Wrinkle in Time and Howl’s Moving
Readalong: Dream Thief by Stephen R. Lawhead
The title looked really barren for a second, and then I remembered that this was our first standalone readalong, so I normally have the series title as well. Anyway! It’s the 18th! Let’s get to it. First, the basics. Dream Thief is
Readalong Announcement: Dream Thief by Stephen R. Lawhead
Well, squiders, I’ve gone through my bookshelves and picked a book for us to try for our first stand-alone book readalong. (Of course, since I was looking for a standalone, I found a ton of duologies and trilogies, because that
Creative Endeavors and a Readalong?
Hey, squiders! I hope you’re having a good week! Mine hasn’t been excellent, but what can you do? As you guys know, I’ve been working on some other creative endeavors recently aside from just writing. (I did get two short
Nonfiction Poll, Videocast Thoughts, and Other Sundry
Hey, guess what, squiders. I found my paper for the Shards library book talk. It was under my bed. Sigh. Who the heck knows why. (There were also cat hairballs under my bed, alas.) Too late to save me now. (One would think I
The Finnbranch Readalong: Winterking

The Finnbranch Readalong: Undersea
Did you read this, squiders? If not, don’t. I’m not sure I’ve ever read a more confusing piece of literature in my life. Continuing on from Yearwood, we follow Finn (or do we?) as he learns more about who he
The Finnbranch Readalong: Yearwood
Hey hey, Squiders! Only one day late, which, considering how this week has gone, is a freaking miracle. So, Yearwood, book one of the Finnbranch trilogy. Did you guys read this? It’s so very ’80s fantasy it almost hurts. We’ve
Introducing the Finnbranch Readalong
Howdy, Squiders! Let’s do a readalong, since it’s been a while. I’ve scoured my book shelves for series of the appropriate genres (which also aren’t massive) and have found Paul Hazel’s Finnbranch trilogy (Yearwood, Undersea, and Winterking) from the early
The Adventures of Kate Readalong: The Merlin Effect
Well, Squiders, here we are at the end of the “trilogy.” What I find most interesting about The Adventures of Kate is that, aside from Kate, the books are completely unrelated. There are no overlapping characters or locations. I suppose
