“Laura’s Interest” – A Blog Dedicated to Book Tours, Reviews, Contests, Giveaways, Blog Parties
Being a mystery writer often means digging around for info, be it for a story, a project, or something that requires explanation . . . playing detective as it were.
I found it rather difficult to locate a pic of Laura or much about her save for snippets on her blog, FB page, and Google Profile. She has a great tagline, though: “helping others achieve their dreams and goals”. How admirable; I really like that.
Circles we might want to include her in: cozy mysteries, business book reviews, thrifty finds, refurbishing, DIY, crafts, blog parties, giveaways, and ways to have fun.
Well, I’ve always said, I do love a good mystery (and Laura, you’ve provided me with one). <LOL>
Please check out her cool blog:

The “Fantastic Feathers” Blog
Mahathi Ramya’s blog “Fantastic Feathers”, featuring a majestic peacock, is a bit different from other writers/writing and book blogs. The tagline: “My random thoughts on books, different places I visit and anything that is exciting”.
I like that, maybe because it sounds just a wee bit like my own [first] blog (this one, CreativeSpider3): “A Writer-Editor Sharing Thoughts, tales, Goals and Desires – Your “Everything and Then Some” Blog. We have an array of likes, focuses, and opinions/thoughts.
As Mahathi tells us, she is easy-going and “wants to enjoy each and every bit of life”. Hear, hear. “I believe in God and I also believe that we are sent to this world with some purpose.” I love that she readily "accepts my weaknesses and I am also proud of my strengths equally. I just love being me!”
How awesome is that? Kudos to you, Mahathi, for your convictions.

Valerie Long’s “Valerie’s Musings” Blog
Valerie Long’s very cool, attractively arranged blog is dedicated to “book blogging and other musings on life”. 
Easy on the eyes, easy to follow, the blog started out with the purpose of providing book reviews, with some posts about “life and the world”. Since then, Librarian and Book Blogger Valerie has increased the scope to author spotlights, interviews, challenges and related book posts.

Amy Metz’ “A Blue Million Books” Blog
Amy’s awesome blog was created with the honorable intention of helping other authors promote their work (as an indie author, she recognized how hard it is to get our names and books out there). That’s commendable and we fellow writers thank her!
She’s writing a humorous southern mystery series, which I’m looking forward to checking out (I love the South and I enjoy humor). Check out updates, interviews and reviews on her website: http://authoramymetz.com.
Ah yes, as an FYI, per Amy, “a blue million” means a lot of something. I sincerely hope she realizes a blue million of success with her writing and blogging ventures.
As another FYI, she’s featuring me on her blog today (May 20th).

“Celticlady’s Reviews” & Kathleen Kelly
I love Celtic Lady’s blog—how can an Irish bhean (hope I got that right) not have shamrocks as a backdrop?
A wife, mother, and grandmother, Kathleen Kelly does not however reside on the Emerald Isle; you can find her in Wisconsin. Blogging began in 2009 when she could no longer work full-time. As she was fond of reading, she began reviewing books and loved it. She finds it “fun to discover new authors out there”.
Other blogs include:
Blog O'The Irish
Celticlady's Book Recommendations
Celticlady's Kitchen
Today, May 19th, on “Celticlady’s Reviews”, she’s featuring a spotlight and excerpt on yours truly. If you have a second, perhaps you could pop by?

Stacey Schneller & “Books, Dreams, Life” Blog (featuring Me May 17 2017)
If you’re looking for book postings and reviews, please check out Stacey Schneller’s blog “Books,Dreams,Life”. 
Stacey’s recently moved from WordPress to Blogger. If you visit https://staceyschneller06.wordpress.com, you’ll find a link to the new blog. The move, she states, is due to “some problems WordPress and I have not gotten along in the past month”. <LOL>
I can so-o relate, but my reason/excuse is I’m not that technically savvy—yet, I always like to add. Issues seem to abound. It’s all good, though; learning is a very good thing.
Just click on the link and you’ll be redirected. Just in case, though, here it is:

Leslie’s “Storeybookreviews.com” Blog & “The Connecticut Corpse Caper”
Dog-lover Leslie readily admits she’s a “book junkie” (I can relate, having been one once myself—now, I’m a “writing junkie”).
She loves cozies, romance, chick lit, mystery/thrillers—like me, everything except horror. Her reading passion started with Little House on the Prairie and, again like me, Nancy Drew. <LOL>
Leslie will review books for those that ask and will also do giveaways: please see the “Review” tab on her site.
Please visit her at http://storeybookreviews.com.
