Belated Final Favorites | March 2015

Oops! So, I missed the last day of March (*grins*) but to be fair I had one of my best friends and her husband visiting and they are more important than me being silly and talking about books ;) Plus, they were headed back overseas and when you only get to see people once every year and a half, you put everything else to the side! Then I had another friend visit and...well yes, it is D.C. in the Spring so of course people want to come and see the lovely cherry blossoms (and me too I guess).

Anyway, on to my Final Favorites for March. I found this month that I was overrun with stuff...on top of a too-ambitious posting schedule. There is so much to be said about Marketing and Social Media! I'll probably be posting more about this in the future, but I hope that what was posted was helpful!

On to the favorites...

Final Favorites | February 2015

I've been pretty busy this month! Lots of blogging and some amazing guests have been featured and I was so excited to do another "Final Favorites" video for you all. There's just something fun about getting the chance to reflect back on the month.

A few posts of note this month: 

•  "A Flawed Perspective and a Missed Opportunity: Rob Bell on Oprah" | Me sharing my thoughts on Rob Bell's talk with Oprah and why I think he's wrong in his views about the Bible. 
• My introduction of The Grove for New Novel News (p.s. check them out!)
• "True Love in a 50 Shades World" | My post talking about true love in the midst of the release of Fifty Shades of Grey.

 And, while I'm sharing, stop by Putting On The New for my monthly contribution, "A Page From My Journal on Trust". I think you'll like it!

Without further ado...

This month's book Recommendations: 
Book 1, Book 2, Book 3

Final Favorites | January 2015 *New*

Hello there, Thinking Thoughts friends. I've decided to do something even more new (um, I don't think that's grammatically OK) than New Novel News. I've decided to...*gasp*....*choke*...show my FACE on the blog.

Um... [crickets chirping]

I realize that's not so new. I mean, you see pictures of me all the time, right? But no...I'm not just talking about sharing a picture of me, I'm talking about sharing a video! That's right. I'm doing a vlog. But is it really a vlog if I'm still blogging about the vlog? Hum, I'm not sure.

Either way, today is the first installment of a new, once-a-month, post I'm affectionately calling, Final Favorites.

The idea for this actually started when I was skyping my dear friend Corrine the other day. I kept showing her the cover of a book (curious which one? you'll have to watch the vlog to find out >insert evil laughter<). And it hit me - I could literally talk about my favorite books all day. I mean, really. So why not do that? Talk about them, that is - not all day.

Well, after all of that introduction I may have ruined it for you all, but if I haven't, I'm excited to introduce the January edition of Final Favorites.

Ok, so what did you think? Was it totally annoying or fun? Should I do more posts like this in the future? 

*P.S. I'd love for you all to join the discussion on my favorite post from last week: "The Right to Write, Right?"
