September's Books

But first I got this fun thing from evil_little_dog

"In honour of All Hallow's Eve, I'm inviting trick-or-treaters to my 'door.' Comment "trick-or-treat" to this post and you will get a treat! Treats can be anything that strikes my fancy (pics of fave actors or pairings, one sentence fics, graphics, a few words why I'm glad to have you on my flist, etc. etc)



The more "houses" to visit the more fun it'll be, so go ahead, open your journal and help spread the fun!"


On to the books. Talk to me about any that capture your eye. I love chatting books. I didn't read as much as usual this month though.

Writerly Ways

I have been meaning to share this for two freaking weeks! This is the kickstarter for the middle grade anthology my Deadwood steampunk story is in. I would LOVE some help with it. Buy a copy. ebook or paperback. Get a copy for a young person in your life (while it is geared a bit to young girls there's no reason boys couldn't enjoy stories with girls in them) Just share the kickstarter on your social media would be an enormous help and I would be most grateful!



Isn't this a great cover? So even if you don't have money to spare (and believe me, I get that!) share this around. My library is buying a copy :-)
