IT’S ALMOST THE END OF 2023!

Top 5 Reads of 2023 GraphicCan you believe there are only 7 weeks left in 2023? We hope you’ve made some great progress on your TBRs this year, and we’d love to hear about some of your favorites.  That’s why we’re asking readers to submit their Top 5 Reads of 2023.

This simple form asks for your top 5 books this year, and is open to readers/authors/reviewers/bloggers. Just one caveat: authors, you may NOT select one of your own books (including books you wrote under a different pen name).

The books you choose do not have to have been released in 2023, simply ones that you read for the first time this past year.

If you’re an author/reviewer/blogger, we invite you to share some details about yourself and your website so we can help you get the word out.

Submissions are open NOW, and we’ll start posting your Top 5 Reads of 2023 in December and will continue sharing them into the new year.

Where the heck was TB?

TB loves exploring places near and far, so we’ve created a weekly game where TB goes on an adventure, snaps some photos, and then lets you guess her location.

To answer last week’s question, 77% of you got it right. TB & Miranda visited Grafton, Vermont. Also, 16% of you think TB ate her weight in cheese. She really tried. The cheese was that good. While she didn’t eat as much as she wanted, TB and Miranda are now penning a story set in a Vermont cheese factory.

Both TB & Miranda are recovering from the past week in Las Vegas. The writing conference was good, but it’s hard for two introverts to be in such large crowds for days. We’re going to need a few days to recoup.

Instead of a guessing game this week, we’re going to share some of TB’s favorite photos of Grey, who passed away on November 4, the day before TB & Miranda left for Las Vegas. It’s been one hell of a week, which is another reason TB needs some time to recover.

For Grey. You were an amazing grumpy cat who had a big heart behind your curmudgeon veneer. You’ll be missed every single day.

 

Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend!

Miranda & TB
