Cruisin’ through books cause books make life worth living with Aly 8/17/2016 ARC
I love this book! I can’t wait for book 2! Sophie and Owen are great characters but I love all the characters in this book. I feel I read a lot of books in this genre so I am impressed when they have a little bit different take on things. This book does that for me!. I love it! You should check it out for sure! * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review* 5/5

I am Worldmaker
Another powerful message from one of the great authors I know. Beautiful piece, Diane.
I am Worldmaker. You know naught of me, yet behold me in the very fibers of the air, in the devices of my creation. My realm spans the chaos of stars, beyond time expanding, worlds shaped and dying. I am elemental, secretive, the spark that sets mystery in motion, the wielder of birth and destruction. Some name me God, but possess not a wisp of understanding. I am vaster than the reaches of imagination. Can you conceive, truly, of eternity?
My fingers roll as I breathe being into this gaseous inferno. I fling my fireball to the cold reaches of the void to cool and crack, to change the very complexion of space. There is a pattern in anarchy, a sublime collection of chance that in each moment transforms existence. Do you understand? That you are a miracle? Wondrous and infinitesimal, that you matter not at all?
Am I cruel, heartless? Do you find…

Finding My Way Back
Awesome post from one of the wonderful authors I met at BigWorldNetwork. Enjoy a little time with Tawn! #SupportIndieAuthors
“Hello.
It’s been a while.
I’ve missed you.”
This is what I’d say to my muse if I had the courage to reach out. Sometimes keeping in touch with my creativity gets away from me, and before I know it, it’s been so long that I feel awkward just trying to make a connection out of the blue.
What if it’s busy? I don’t want to be a distraction. What if it has moved on to some other author who lavishes it with attention? What if it hates me for neglecting it? What if it’s gone? Gone…forever?
It would serve me right for treating my inspiration that way. Always pushing it to the side, expecting it to be true while receiving no loyalty in return, callously allowing it to wither in the darkness. I couldn’t blame it for turning its back on me, seeking comfort with another. The fault is…

Been awhile since I came and talked about love. #ChooseLove
I’ve been trying this whole choose love thing for a bit now. I feel way better in my daily life. Seriously, without anger and fear to cloud my judgement, I find myself finding it easier and easier to maintain control of what I have been told can be a volatile temper. That’s not to say I’m perfect, just that it’s much easier.
I’m waiting for the rest of society to catch up to me now, an interesting sensation since I am usually in the forefront of slacking, not trying to push an agenda.
Everyday I wake up, and I’m thankful. What am I thankful for? The gift of life, of course! This thing we live is so unpredictable, one never knows exactly what is going to happen to you any given day. You can plan, you can predict, you can do everything to prepare, but when it comes to living life those plans can be lost in unpredictability.
Embrace life! Wake up and realize that the only person who you can control is yourself! Choose love, and realize that the rest is just noise.
Remember what Sai Baba said, “Life is a song – sing it. Life is a game – play it. Life is a challenge – meet it. Life is a dream – realize it. Life is a sacrifice – offer it. Life is love – enjoy it.”
I hope more people start to #ChooseLove

Dark Ink Tattoo (Episode 1) by Cassie Alexander
This book was very erotic for me. I really love this author’s Edie Spence series and I was hoping for more books in that series or something along the lines of that series. I don’t really need to read much erotica. 3/5

The Heirs of Lydin (The Ap’Lydin Chronicles, #1) by Aidan Hennessy
This book was a beautiful story. I would love to read the next one. In a way, this book reminds me of a show I watched called “The Shannara Chronicles”. I really enjoyed this book as much as I enjoy this TV show. The characters are exciting to follow. ” I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review* 5/5
