    What’s In A Name… J.K. Rowling’s upcoming novel for adults will be titled The Casual Vacancy, the Bookseller reported, adding that it will be published worldwide on September 27 in hardcover, e-book, audio download and CD. Publisher Little, Brown called the novel a “blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising” tale of what happens in the English village of Pagford after parish council member Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly. “Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty facade is a town at war.” – Rowling has also

A couple of times a day I get tweets asking what I’m reading. No big surprise right? (since I’m crazy lazy at updating my reading list) But a few days ago I was floored by someone’s response. Which went a little something like this: “WTF are you reading a short story for!? They are a total waste of time!” First off…horse poo! Shame on you for being a reading hypocrite! *wags finger* Short stories can be AMAZING tools for several different reasons BESIDES pure literary enjoyment! “No way!” You say? Way!  My motto here at KindleObsessed is “Life is too

First Comes Love…Then Comes Marriage

first

Katie oh Katie…please write more books! I’m not sure if many of you remember, but last year I went a little crazy (in a good way) about a book called Awaken.  It was the first book that (because of its “richly devloped characters”) made me change the way I looked at my own life.  I stopped bringing my phone to lunch, I realized that happiness isn’t Twitter statuses and YouTube videos, and that if you open your eyes there IS a world around you.  “Awaken” inspired change in people’s (hell…in MY) circumstances. “First Comes Love” inspires change in our lives.
