Just having learned more about the writing process and trying to get into the writing world, I've become more critical, too.<br /><br />Question for you. Where do you find historical meanings of words? So...if I want to know what the world thought of the word xyz in 1880, what resource would I use?Annette Whipplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992675906662456790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652659672729617168.post-31195762530905305072014-08-28T17:11:48.319-04:002014-08-28T17:11:48.319-04:00I think that's true of many of us writers.

The narrator for Hunger Games was really good. Then I listened to Colleen Coble's Hope Beach series. That narrator was really good, too. Now I'm listening to The Selection. There have been some poorly done audio books I couldn't enjoy.

I started listening to books on audio while I work, so I finally know what all the fuss over the Hunger Games was about.

Upon your advice, I've been reading The Selection series. Very fun. I've finished the first two books (from library) and am going to check out the third today or tomorrow.Roseanna Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245767775900250399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652659672729617168.post-12034691850188459002014-08-28T09:53:38.081-04:002014-08-28T09:53:38.081-04:00This is beautiful, Roseanna.

Glad it's not just me. I have to say I've been pretty bored lately by anything in the romance department unless it has had a decided spark of something extra. This year I did enjoy Born of Persuasion and A Heart Revealed, which both step way outside the box of category romance. I've mostly been reading YA dystopian this year, which seems to engage my imagination enough to turn off that editor...most of the time.Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.com
