I stole this meme from A Peek at Karen’s World, a great writing blog. I love how we share many of the same answers. Here’s what I’m into for May:
Stuff that Christians Like by Jon Acuff (again) for BookLinks
My own book, Dismantling Spider Webs, on my Nook, before I hand it over to the …
I heard about the A to Z Blogging Challenge about a week before it launched. It was the worst time for me to participate because:

Owen MacIntyre’s daughter is missing but he can’t just file a missing person’s report—Eve is a first generation zone tripper. While her body is safe at home, host to a revolving door of other zone trippers; her soul skips into other infected trippers all over the world.
Or at least, her soul had been tripping. Now it’s complete …
For this second to last day of the A to Z Challenge, I have created my Top 5 Favorite YouTube Videos. Enjoy!
This song will always remind me of middle school slow dances and its accompanying drama. I do remember seeing the video back then but since videos were new to us, it …

My biggest pet peeve is unreliability and inconsistency. Please, do what you say you are going to do or don’t say anything at all.

There are some questions that are impossible to answer.
What’s your favorite movie of all time?
Favorite song?
Best memory ever?
The options are too broad to select just one. And it depends on the mood.
I’ve never been able to come up with a good answer for “What would you want your last meal to be?” Should I ever …
I have never been cute. Petite, blonde and perky has been the ideal of beauty presented to me since childhood. I am none of the three.
