Sibby Slicker by Samantha Garman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Excellent book. From camping to finding out she is pregnant. She is confused hubby is excited. A new dog, Jasper to the home. She decides to go about publishing her own book and a new friend Stacy to help with promoting it. Lots of clumsy and Sibby Law takes over. lol Ready to read the next one. Good writer and fun read.

I signed up for NaNoWriMo!
I have never won a November challenge. The last few years I have not accomplished writing even ten percent of the 50,000 word goal.
The only time I won was the April Camp challenge. I was determined then unlike the November ones. I don’t know if it is because of the holiday time so lots of distractions or what the reason is. But I am going to give it another try. Why not. Plus, I don’t like to give up. I say every year I am not going to do the November challenge but then I sign up. 🙂

(I think tiny items are so cute. I purchased these yesterday at my youngest son’s book fair. We had his teacher conference.)
The first novel in my series of books to write has the basic bones it just needs some more “fluff” to make it fun and interesting.
( My current book cover for book #1.)
I am not sure if I will ever be able to write several books in a year. This first book has taken me since 2012 to write. I have the second book started but only a few chapters done. It is the book I signed up to do the challenge.
When I edited the first book I shrunk it from 50,000 words to about 25,000 words. There was a lot of extra stuff that made no sense. I was laughing when I read it, it was that absurd. 🙂 I imagine I will be more of a short Novella writer instead of a full novel writer.
Cheers to everyone doing the challenge!
Time to eat breakfast, waffles with peanut butter on it. Yum! 🙂
I read this book as part of a pre-release reading group I signed up for. I was surprised I made the cut, usually I do not get to my emails for days. Ooops.
I am doing better now with the emails since keeping up with them pays off!
Love this author. First book I read by her was The Seven Steps to Closure. I laughed my butt off! Highly recommend it.
This book belongs to a series, first book is Cocoa & Chanel and the second one is Goons N Roses. They are both fun and easy reads. Full of mischief and great characters.
I read the whole series and loved it!
If you click on the title it will take you to her Goodreads page and if you would like to purchase and read you may. 🙂
I read it in one day! I would definitely read the first two so it will make more sense. 🙂
Review of Maddie Cochere’s novel Big Apple Hunter
In Big Apple Hunter, Susan decides to go on a trip with her friend Darby to New York City. I love the character of Darby and his friendship with Susan. I admit at one point I was hoping for them to get together. But, as we know, well…you must read the first book, Sunshine Hunter, to find out what makes their friendship just friends.

I think setting one of the scenes in New York made the story line even more exciting and adventurous. I so loved the bus tour of men. Who wouldn’t want to tour with a bunch of hot guys?
( Photo credit to Bing.com) This is what I was picturing when I read about bus full of guys. 🙂 hee hee
I liked the mystery of the bad guys. It kept me guessing what their angle was clear through the book. There was enough mystery to keep me reading and wanting to know the answer.
The ongoing turmoil with her boyfriend makes me wonder if they will last as a couple. I keep thinking maybe they can’t get past their previous relationship disasters. All of Susan’s encounters with available men adds to the question of whether they will stay together. I like that with each book you just don’t know.
All the characters are interesting and likeable. I had all kinds of ideas going through my head about what each character might end up doing throughout the book. It keeps you assuming things to the end. I believe that is what makes a good book.
I loved the ending. 🙂 Just read it, no spoilers from me.
I love the author’s style, it is witty, adventurous, and easy to read. The characters are like everyday people with added adventures. She leaves the ending at a point I am ready to read the next book. 🙂
I see with each book where her writing becomes better and better. I like being able to see her grow as a writer. I believe that is what is so interesting about self-published authors, you can see their writing develop with each book. Thank goodness for the internet.
Check out her blog! She has her own witty adventures that will make you smile. 🙂
