Q4U: What are you currently reading?
PS. Don’t forget to post at our November Free Books! We’ll be drawing for the give-away on November 30.
I remember when my dream was to become a PUBLISHED AUTHOR, with READERS and even maybe, perhaps, possibly earning money for what I wrote. I am fortunate. That dream came true for me, but not until I had learned as much as I could about how the book business worked. What agents do; what publishers…
October has to be the perfect month to read edge-of-your-seat thrillers — especially one that has a happy ending, even when you think a happy ending is totally impossible! Author J.T. Ellison presents TEAR ME APART, a mystery/thriller that [from the fly leaf] “is the powerful story of a mother willing to do anything to…
I’m delighted to announce a virtual library event via Zoom, hosted by the Wood Dale Public Library of Wood Dale, Illinois. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, August 11 at 7 p.m. Central Time. Since I always get the math wrong on time zones, I’ll let you figure that out for where you live. I’ll…
We’re once again offering WORDS SPOKEN TRUE, one of my favorite novels from one of my favorite authors! Snuggle down during this blustery month of March with WORDS SPOKEN TRUE by Ann H. Gabhart. From the back cover: “Adriane Darcy was practically raised in her father’s newspaper offices. When Blake Garrett, a brash young editor…
I’m excited to be giving away two wonderful books this month. Both are just out from local authors, and both are set primarily in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. IN THE ARMS OF GITCHE GUMEE by James P. Hill follows the life of Evangeline LeBlanc, a First American woman. The premise of the novel is what first…

BUSY! That’s an understatement, Lynn. I don’t know how you managed to write 50,000 words in 30 days! Yikes! Thank you for your explanations of NaNoWriMo and PiBoIdMo. Up until a couple of months ago, I’d never heard of either. Amazing how much more connected everyone is now that we have the various social medias.
Hi Sue,
I’m sorry I missed your reply till now. I was very busy in November – may I use that as my excuse? 🙂
In answer to your questions:
For NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), writing 50K words in 30 days was quite a challenge, but I did it! It was my first attempt and I was a little concerned near the end that I wasn’t going to make it. Even though I wrote the required number of words (plus 265 more) my story isn’t completed, so I will have to work on that more later. I left off with three conflicts to be resolved.
PiBoIdMo stands for Picture Book Ideas Month. For the month of November participants write an idea a day – could be a title, or a story theme, or the name of a character or whatever would work in a picture book. I finished with 44 ideas.
The next thing is to finish my ‘novel’, and pull together one or two picture books. 🙂
Hello Itzel, Yes I read your email. I don’t think I have any more copies in Spanish, but I’ll look through my archives to be sure. Thank you for writing. God bless you, Sue
Hi, i’m writing from Mexico, i sent you an email, please, please read it, i will thank you a lot.
xoxo
How is the NaNoWriMo going for you? Writing a book in a month seems like an impossible task! I’ve not heard of PiBoIdMo. What does that stand for?
I love the devotional, My Utmost for His Highest. I read it again and again. My devotional now is a Fisherman Study, “Who is The Holy Spirit?” I’m learning a lot!
Hi Sue,
I’m still making my way through the Bible again, now in the Psalms. I’m also reading two other books of daily readings, one is the devotional My Utmost for His Highest – selections for every day – Oswald Chambers, the other is Moments of Peace in the Presence of God – reflections on God’s Gift of Love, Hope and Happiness.
I’m really not reading as much as I would like to this month because of participating in NaNoWriMo and also PiBoIdMo, but, I have some wonderful books to get lost in when I can get back at it. 🙂
