Have you read my related IMM about the books Random House gave me?
As I mentioned the other day in my IMM post, I went to Random House Canada on Thursday as part of a “school field trip”. My entire program –which is less than 65 people BTW- was divided into small groups and sent to various publishers who specialized in Educational, Trade, or Childrens’ publishing.

As some of you may know, I had the pleasure of visiting Random House Canada this past week. I’ll tell you a little more about it either tomorrow or next Monday, but the relevant part for today -seeing as it’s IMM day- is the parting gift they gave each of us! You will not believe how excited each of us were when we were handed a “gift bag” containing three books that the company publishes!!! Continue reading “Books In My Mailbox (Feb-5)”
Thanks to Jen Armentrout and hannahelt, I came up with this meme. They claimed I get excited over the simplest things, so I decided that every Saturday I would post something “simple” that I get excited over just to prove that the smallest things really do make you smile :0)
Today’s smile is… Continue reading “Simple Smile Saturday: Fuzziness”

A Duke’s Temptation by Jillian Hunter
Everyone deserves at least one wicked evening in London.
Do not explore this house late at night if you know what is good for you.
I don’t know what either of us would do if some lady skeleton stuck her head through the stones and said, ‘Stop trying to resurrect me. I’ve earned my eternal repose.’ I supposed I might faint like a maiden myself.
Yesterday I went into Chapters to purchase a couple books –more about that on next week’s IMM post- but I also “purchased” something else. Something even more important…
I donated money to Indigo’s Love of Reading Foundation. As careful as I need to be with my money right now, I had to do something to share my love of books with others in a more profound way than just writing about them on my blog. How can I do nothing to help others learn to love reading? Continue reading “Making a Difference”

On her way to the party, Tess gets stuck in an elevator with Derek Nolan who impulsively asks Tess to run away with him to the Caribbean for the weekend, no strings attached. Having been responsible her whole life, Tess accepts and finds herself having the time of her life.
