October's 3-Books-A-Month Round Up
Here's the October Round Up Post for the 3-Books-A-Month Club (again, the brain child of Melanie Lynne Hauser). She'll be posting her round-up and November picks tomorrow so please go see her site as soon as you can. For me, this month I am going to be doing it a bit different. Mostly because I am dreadfully behind and have a blogging commitment for tomorrow (it is Virtual Blog Tour time!). And secondly because... well, I am just behind. And have blog commitments for tomorrow (that means Virtual Blog Tour time for The Daring Book for Girls. Woo hoo!).
Also--because I am so into change this time around--I'm going to limit my reviews to a couple sentences in these round-up e-mails. Mostly because I love doing book reviews and I might decide to do a full book review of these books someday. But, if you find yourself yearning for more info, please feel free to drop me an e-mail (or comment), and I'll gladly spill the full review to you in a private e-mail. You know, if you are dying to know more.
So, without further ado, here's this month's picks and my comments:

So, without further ado, here's this month's picks and my comments:
- How I Got Published: Famous Authors Tell You in Their Own Words By Ray White (Author), Duane Lindsay (Compiler)
I said this the first time out, I bought this one on a blog recommendation by Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels thriller series. He plugged the book since his essay (along with many author authors) spill the beans about how they made their book deals. But... well, how can I put this, the editing of the book sorely disappointed me. I'm not an anal grammar puss, BUT, within the first handful of essays I found more spelling and word errors than I care to admit. And, again, that normally isn't something I pay attention to (but they were really hard to pass by). That aside, the stories are really interesting, inspiring, and definitely fun to read. Everyone's path to publishing really is different! - Mommy Tracked by Whitney Gaskell
This book was a recommendation made by Amazon--and it hit the nail on the head. Fun, fast read (though, I admit I am just finishing it up now). Loved the different types of moms portrayed in the book--and husbands. That is the best part, there is a lot of interaction between wives and the men in their lives. And they are all unique and fun. Definitely a thumbs up. - And this is where I am behind. Really behind. I haven't started the next book yet. Please forgive me. My own writing has gotten in the way of my reading time this month. You can't sneeze at that! So, next month, I promise to give you the goods on one of the 2 other books I had on the list (Frenemies by Megan Crane and You Had Me At Halo by Amanda Ashby)
