(Ahem, Amy here. I'm so excited to introduce you all to Pamela from The Picky Bookworm with this guest post on favorite blogging tools. Take it away!....) --- All bloggers have their favorite tools. I can’t think of a single blogger you could find who didn’t have a list of at least 4 tools they use, and why. From automation to newsletters, bloggers have been finding ways to make blogging easier for years. I’ve listed my favorite blogging tools below, and I’ll tell ya, they make my job so much easier!

The Flower Letters: a different way to story

I always love finding and learning about different story structures. So when I heard about The Flower Letters, I had to snag it up. Receive a story in the mail over the course of a year, in the medium of letters the characters write (plus bonus fun things like stickers and newspaper articles and such that broaden the story world more!)

An experiment saving $$$ with Qapital app

Always one to shirk away from traditional New Year resolutions, I've come up with an improvement-related experiment instead. I'm all for finding motivation to save without too much spreadsheet work.

We’re all pirate queens

Under-appreciated. Emotional. Irish. I'd like to think I'm two of those things, but the Pirate Queen musical gets all three 😉 So while recommending this soundtrack that I just can't be rid of, I thought I'd share how we all are basicly pirate queens.

Book Review: The Young World by Chris Weitz

I am thrilled to have received an ARC of "The Young World" by Chris Weitz from a Goodreads giveaway.   A plague sweeps the world, taking adults and children, leaving only teenagers alive - with the guarantee that somewhere around their 18th birthday, they will die off as well. The world is ending. And how would teenagers run the… Continue reading Book Review: The Young World by Chris Weitz

The Weirdest Book I’ve Read: “Stiff” by Mary Roach

Ever read something that immediately gets a reaction when brought up? I'm not talking about "This book is illegal in ____ countries." I'm talking about "This book is socially unacceptable in...well, everywhere."That's how I felt while reading Stiff by Mary Roach. It was fascinating and disgusting and  abject.
