Booking Through Thursday's Age Appropriate Question

Current Read: The Next Best Thing by Kristan Higgins

Do you read books “meant” for other age groups? Adult books when you were a child; Young-Adult books now that you’re grown; Picture books just for kicks … You know … books not “meant” for you. Or do you pretty much stick to what’s written for people your age?

Absolutely! I love to read YA and middle grade books (especially aloud to my nine year old daughter - we laughed till we cried while reading Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key). I still have some favorite picture books that will always have a special place on my bookshelf. And you'll have to pry my romance fiction out of my cold, dead fingers! Plus, you know what they say about age:

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. ~Chili Davis

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. ~Mark Twain

How about you? Do you act your age when it comes to reading?

Support A Good Cause

So, this isn't necessarily related to the romance genre but I felt it was worth the post. So bear with me for a few paragraphs...

J.A. Konrath is offering a $500 donation to First Book if his book, TRAPPED, written under his pen name Jack Kilborn, reaches the Top 100 on Kindle. He'll donate another $500 if it hits the Top 20. He's even dropped the price to $0.99! So, if you're a lover of horror in addition to romance and you want to support a good cause click here to order TRAPPED from Amazon.

Read J.A.'s original blog post and a Q&A with First Book here.

No need to worry if you don't yet have a Kindle or other electronic reading device. You can download Kindle for PC from Amazon for FREE. I've been using it (as I haven't saved enough pennies yet to purchase an e-reader) and it's working well.

Things, They Are A-Changin'

What's Playing on the I-Pod: "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele

I'm on the hunt for a new look for Armchair Heroines! So, if you stop by one day and it's flaunting hearts and flowers in shades of pink and purple then the next day it's covered with flying birds in blues and yellows, bear with me I'm just searching for the perfect look!

It's great to be back! I'm looking forward to reconnecting with all of you.

Current Read: HOW SWEET IT IS by Sophie Gunn

Well, I'm baaa-aack! After a fifteen month hiatus during which I helped a couple writer friends organize RomCon (they did the heavy lifting - I just helped), dealt with a health crisis and wrote the first draft of a new manuscript, I'm back and ready to get back to blogging. I've missed all of you!

I'm working hard to schedule guest bloggers and author interviews. I'm gathering prizes and giveaways like a chipmunk storing nuts for the winter, and I've even come up with a few new features that I think are going to be tons of fun. So come back often or add Armchair Heroines to your RSS feeds. Also check the schedule for upcoming events.
