Books and Sensibility Joins BlogHer’s National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPloMo)

October 30, 2013      Leave a Comment

While all the writers are getting ready forNaNoWriMo, we’ll be going a different route and participating in BlogHer’s National Blog Post MonthAKA NaBloPoMo.

We first participated in November of 2011 and hit a bit of a snag,  but this year we are going to be posting every single day of November ! Hopefully this will inspire us to come up with some creative posts and features.

“. . . Join the BlogHer.com NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) blog roll and commit to write (photograph, draw, craft poetry, whatever) every single day this month!

Every November, thousands of bloggers make this commitment to post daily. But it’s about much more than posting; it’s about community, connection and our shared craft. Those are all values worthy of a monthlong public celebration.

If you’ve never joined NaBloPoMo, this is the time to do so. It starts November 1 and runs until November 30. Just make the commitment to (1) blog daily for the month (nothing more to it than that!) and (2) to support your fellow NaBloPoMo-ers by reading a handful of the other blogs on the blogroll. Cheer them along, and they’ll cheer you on, too.

You can sign up for November’s NaBloPoMo until November 5. That’s the list we’re using to choose the weekly prizes, too: Every week, we’ll be handing out an iPad Mini and two passes to the 2014 BlogHer conference in San Jose, CA. First, take a look at the official contest rules here, then sign up and commit to blog daily!” – BlogHer

Audiobook Review : Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

October 16, 2013      Leave a Comment

  • Release Date : August 16th 2007
  • Publisher : Penguin
  • Audiobook Length : 8 hours 55 minutes

Synopsis : St. Vladimir’s Academy isn’t just any boarding school—it’s a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They’ve been on the run, but now they’re being dragged back to St. Vladimir’s—the very place where they’re most in danger…

Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy’s ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals. But they must be careful lest the Strigoi—the world’s fiercest and most dangerous vampires—make Lissa one of them forever

Two years ago Rose Hathaway,  a half-human vampire, and her best friend Lissa Dragomir, a vampire princess, ran away from the vampire filled St. Vladimir’s Academy. We don’t know what they’ve been running from, but these girls have their reasons. Only now, they’ve been dragged back to St. Vladmir’s and the darkness has followed them….
