What I want to Read Next!

Have you read this?  I hear it's so good!  Instant best-seller.  It's on my "read next" list.  I can't wait until it comes in the mail.  The author lives in Boise, ID and says he doesn't know why everyone likes it so much.  My sister said she tried to check it out from the library and was 101 on the waiting list.  Wow!

My New Favorite Series

Have you read these books? They are so creative and fun: the most refreshing read I have had in a long time!! The "Finishing School" series by Gail Carriger.  I highly recommend them!

Best Teen Parenting Book Ever!

(source: breakthecycle.org)

In regards to family ups and downs, which most of my readers are interested in, I have to share my enthusiasm for Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish.  I just finished reading, "How to talk so TEENS will listen and listen so TEENS will talk", and it is the best book ever!  If I could buy this for every parent of teenagers I would.  If you read this book your life will be MUCH easier.   These are the methods I use on my teens and they are the ONLY things that work, along with the 5 languages of love.  I know because I've tried it all.  Hope it helps with your teens too!

My Favorite Humor Writing Book

I can't remember if I've posted this before, but I have a favorite book on writing humor that I refer to over and over. It really taught me all I know about putting humor into my books. The funny thing is....writing humor is actually not fun and games.  It's quite a lot of work using a lot of different tricks. It is definitely something you can learn. You don't have to be naturally "funny" to put humor into your books. I REALLY enjoy humor, but I'm not that witty when I'm talking to people. I just happen to know a lot of tricks that make people laugh when I write...and you can find out about them too. They are all in this book, called, "Comedy Writing Secrets," by Mel Helitzer.

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!
