Steena Holmes

Today I wanted to give a shout out to an amazing author that has blown me away not only in her stories but also in person. Steena Holmes is a women’s fiction writer who has the heart of gold. Her books are captivating and the way she writes makes it so easy and a  pleasure to read.

When I first met Steena in person her face lit up with joy when she noticed me. I was in shock that a little blogger like me would get such a heartfelt reaction. Her enthusiasm is infectious and it traveled with me through the rest of the day.

Thanks to this amazing author and Lake Union Publishing, I get to sit with this incredible book and see what Abby has in store for the next chapter of her life. If you haven’t already read my review on Saving Abby, you can go see where Abby started or pre-order Abby’s Journey here.

Reading with my granddaughter Emma is the best way to start the new year.  I am enjoying passing on my love of reading.  She is starting chapter books – so much fun!!!

Didn’t think our reading time would last this long!!
I hope this is how we spend a lot of this year.

BEA Questions

How do you shelve your BEA books?
Do you mix them in with your other books?
Do they have a separate shelf?
Do you put them according to
Publication date or authors last name
or something else?

I would like to hear your ideas on how you shelve your books when you get back from BEA.  How do you shelve your other books – the same or different from BEA books?

How do you decide what book to read next?
Are all your books scheduled?
Do you read older books first or are you more likely to pick up a new one?

There are so many books to read.  I would like to hear how you pick your next book.

After reading a book do you keep it?
How do you decided which ones to keep?
Do you pass books on to others –
people you know or donate them?

Here is the current state of my bookshelf.  I think I will be rearranging my books soon.  I would love to hear your thought process for your books.  I would also love to see pictures of your bookshelves.
