Celebrating a love of all things reading and writing
The hotel wifi wasn't cooperating last night, so I missed posting. As predicted, I love the countryside of Spain more than Barcelona. On Wednesday we made our way to Costa Brava, stopping along the way in Girona, a smaller city. The view from my hotel room is a living postcard. It's ocean view and there's... Continue Reading →
Today we went to two must see sights in Barcelona. We started the morning on a panoramic bus tour of the city. The highlight was Placa de Catalunya.

Fantasy is another of my favorite genres. Instead of sharing my favorite fantasy novels, I thought I'd talk about what I look for in a fantasy novel. World Building This is a term I didn't really think about a lot until I started writing myself. For any book, I want to feel it is a... Continue Reading →
