The Women in Fiction Hastag Happened and I Loved It! - #womeninfiction

It's been a long time since I used Storify, but it help me collect just a few of my favourite #womeninfiction tweets.

I'm Excited About Maddaddam

I decided to Storify why I'm excited about Maddaddam.  I've just been thinking about it the past day or two....



Are you excited to read Atwood's new novel?

Classics Club - August Meme

I don't usually do the Classics Club monthly meme questions.  This month, however, the Classics Club asks:  Do you read forewords/notes that precede many classics?  Does it help you or hurt you in your enjoyment/understanding of the work?

I have blogged about this topic many times before.  Introductions have ruined the story for me. It all depends on the book, I suppose. Here's a collection of what I've written on the topic:

I actually only posted this the first time a few weeks ago, on July 20th.  What do you think of introductions?

Don't Read The Introduction First. Also, I'm On Storify

So there it is.  A "story" I created on Storify.  I saw someone post a link on Twitter, so I followed it and that's how I discovered Storify.  I was attracted by the ideas of creating stories using various social media sources.  I think the site definitely needs to make some tweeks to improve how you use it.  Also, they don't connect directly to Pinterest.  We'll see if I stick with it.  It's not like I need another distraction, but it's kind of fun.
