  • RoW80 Check-In: February 8th!

    “He had to be out of this place, no only to make up for bringing them there in the first place, but also out of pure selfish desire to finally be free of it.” It’s hard to believe it’s Wednesday already, but here it is, and it’s time for another Round of Words in 80…

  • The 100 Books Project: Beauty Queens.

    “‘Maybe girls need an island to find themselves. Maybe they need a place where no one’s watching them so they can be who they really are.’” “Beauty Queens” by Libba Bray Usually, I’m not a big reader of teen/young adult fiction. Every so often, a book of that genre would fall into my lap, and…

  • RoW80 Update: February 5th.

    “When Locke looked at the man, he saw a father, a savior, and a yellow beard slowly going to grey. And while Knolan still had broad shoulders like a warrior and wore a dented breastplate like a warrior, it had been a very long time since he had the chance to fight like a warrior.”…

  • The 100 Books Project: No Matter How Much….

    “Deep in her chest she felt a horrible loneliness and hugged herself against the realization that she was alone in the world. That as much as she loved her family and her friends, and as much as that love was returned, she was alone. For the first time in her life she understood the word…

  • Row80 Update: February 1st!

    She heard Kadue screaming, shouting, and the heat of a fireball hit her like a wave. His attempt to scorch Tenenshe’ean, however, was much too late. There was an echo of her name, a desperate cry, ringing in her ears. And then there was nothing. Nothing at all. Hello, and welcome to another exciting RoW80…

  • The 100 Books Project: Results Not Typical.

    “She had tried everything–Weight Watchers, Atkins, Jenny Craig, speed–but none of them worked…” Results Not Typical by Catherine Ryan Howard One of the greatest things about getting my Kindle Fire is the fact that I can now, very easily (and rather cheaply, ahem) pick up the books by the authors I admire whose blogs I…

  • RoW80 Update: January 29th!

    “‘I should have remembered the first rule of hunting,’ he said, so low he may as well have been whispering in Auferrix’s ear. The tone was content and amused, which made her stomach twist with revulsion. ‘If one wishes to be successful in capturing his prey, one cannot do better than to catch her oneself.’”…

  • RoW80 Update: January 25th!

    “Lookie here.” There was a grin lurking deep in the shadows of his helmet. “I caught myself a little snake.” But snakes were known to bite. Thanks to a coworker with a bad rash (another consequence of which was my inability to keep from making jokes about herpes), I wound up without my usual Monday…

  • RoW80 Check-In: January 22nd!

    There was another sound, this time from the man who owned the burning inferno around them. She thought it was an expression of pain at first, but then she recognized it as a sob. Shaking and sobbing beside her, dampening her shoulder and making her feel utterly helpless. This man had almost died and now…

  • RoW80 Check-In: January 18th!

    “‘They do know that old dynasties did use the caves out here for coffers,” Hederrick offered, though he looked extremely reluctant to do so. His eyes, like Jaxson’s, were steady on the cave and he swallowed hard as if already picturing the possible treasures within. ‘It’s possible we might find something there.’” Well, fellow RoWers…
