Ballad Giveaway Winner

And the winner is...bookwormam!

Please contact me with your mailing address and I'll get your copy of Ballad on its way. I have to say I was delighted to read all of your favorite ballads and love songs. I was surprised, though I probably shouldn't have been, by how many chose "Unchained Melody." It was the most popular choice by far and it is a lovely song. There were several others suggested that are favorites of mine and I decided to put together a "best of" list, if you will, of your favorite ballads and/or love songs. Enjoy!

  2. I listened to your playlist last night. Very romantic. :) I think my favorites are the middle songs, The Cure, The Postal Service (LOVE them), Depeche Mode, Coldplay & The Killers.

  3. Janice, grin, I was happy to see The Postal Service mentioned as well. I love them! And especially that song. That middle section is good. Although the last one is the song DH & I danced to at my wedding so I'm partial to it. :)

Angie's Best Books of 2025

This year really came through reading-wise. Initially, I didn't know what to expect. And I think I was a little surprised to find myself feeling a strong pull right from the beginning of the year to published books. I tried quite a few new-to-me authors with more abandon than I have in recent years—something I'm proud of and hope to continue. Not all of them worked in just an Angie-like way, but regret never entered the room. I passed them on. To the Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood, to the used bookstore down the street that I love, to my own public library in donations. Someone will love them. It didn't have to be me. And I loved giving them that little push along their way to the homes of the people who would soak up their words and hold them tight.  What a gift books are. How much I need them and how grateful I am at the end of this year for the ones that came and continued on their way—but most especially for the ones that came to stay.  And so, as has long bee...

Linger by Maggie Stiefvater, Review + Giveaway!

It seems a long time ago now that I first read Shiver -- the first book in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy. But looking back I started it on the plane ride to BEA and finished it there in the conference center, fingers gripping the cover tightly, while sitting on the floor in one of the many autograph lines. And now it's May again and BEA is right around the corner and I emerge from my recent and nasty reading slump stupor to find a copy of Linger sitting in my mailbox like a glove thrown down in the dirt. "I will be the one to pull you out," it whispers to me slyly. "Just open me up and take a sip. I promise--one sip is all it will take." And I look at it with fear and longing written all over my face. "You promise?" I ask  intently. "Because it's been a long walk in the cold and I'm not sure I can take another disappointment." "Just open me up," it says, confidence written all over its cover. And so I do. And everythin...
