“The best laid plans of mice and men …”
Yes, there was a big snafu with my plans for attending the New Literary Voices panel of our local Festival of Authors yesterday. The panel featured Margaret Cezair-Thompson (The Pirate’s Daughter), Amy MacKinnon (Tethered) and Peter Clenott (Hunting the King). So what happened? What kept me from [...]
Yes, my planning weeks usually run Monday – Sunday, but I have a busy week and wanted to get this posted early; this is an 8-day week (if someone figures out how to get a 25-hour day, let me know!). Our town sponsors the Concord Festival of Authors, with events in Lowell and Concord from [...]
First, I want to thank everyone who joined me in planning The Week Ahead during August and September. I’ve enjoyed keeping up with you all, including:
Ti at Book Chatter and Other Stuff
Bree at The Things We Read
Shannon at Confuzzled Books
Stephanie at And Life Goes On …
I gave everyone one entry for each The Week Ahead [...]

Monday 9/15 – I’m [...]
It’s that time of the week – when I sit down and figure out (roughly, sometimes very roughly!) what my week will look like. Here’s what’s on tap this week:
Monday 9/8- Following this post is a post about my latest giveaway … author Joshua Henkin has generously offered a copy of his novel Matrimony, which [...]
Monday 9/1 – September 1st! Happy Labor Day! Today I begin the LT Author Challenge, inspired by the Boston Bibliophile’s question last week, “who are your LibraryThing authors?” A full explanation of the challenge is here; I’m still working on my list of books for the challenge, and will post it within the next few [...]
There’s still time to join us in planning “the week ahead”, and to enter to win a Page-A-Day Book Lover’s Calendar. I picked up the calendar from our local bookstore, so I’m ready to send it out to the winner at the end of September. Find the details here.
A snapshot of what may, or may [...]

A snapshot of what may, or may not, happen in my life this week:
