Book Blogger Hop July 20th -July 26th

The Book Blogger Hop comes to you via Jen at crazy-for-books.com  This Weeks Question  What’s the ONE super-hyped book you’ll NEVER read? For me, I'm afraid it's 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' by E.L. James. Having read the synopsis and the reviews I have to say I'm not even tempted. Thing is, erotica isn't what I look for in a book anyway. Romance is great but this book kind of crosses the line and it's just not for me. All in all, just because a book might be 'super-hyped,' it doesn't mean that i'll be reading it. What do you think?

The Guinea Pig Club was formed on the grass, outside of Ward III at the Queen Victoria Hospital, in East Grinstead in 1941. A group of young men, all airmen who had received burns and were in the care of plastic surgeon Archibald McIndoe decided to form a drinking club to pass the time while they were stuck in the hospital.

They looked up to him because when they first arrived, no matter how severely injured and disfigured they were, no matter how wretched, lost, and alone they felt, he looked into t...

Why Do I Keep At It? Homage To Tazzie, Guest Post By Author Paulette Mahurin.

Today my guest post is from Paulette Mahurin, author of "The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap." Here she talks about her reasons for writing and why her work is so vital. I sincerely hope you find this to be both interesting and inspirational. Paulette Mahurin is a Nurse Practitioner in Ojai, CA, where she lives with her husband and their two rescue dogs.  She is passionate not only about writing but also about rescuing dogs which they have been involved with for many years. All of the profits from her books go towards the first no-kill animal shelter (SPARK) in Ventura County, CA, a most worthy cause. _________________________________________________________________________________ I have had several loves in my life, but ranking at that top is Tazzie, my beloved rottweiler girl, who went on to the  rainbow bridge September, 2011, seems like yesterday. I still miss her, the wagging of her little stubby tail when I came  home, the drool at the sid...
