BOOKS AND BLOGGING PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy is defined as a theory underlying or regarding a sphere of activity or thought. Well, my theory is if I can add at least 10 new books to my Wishlist and move at least 5 older Wishlist selections to my TBR list every month, then life is a ice cream sundae. And if I can find those 10 books from at least 5 new blogs each month then that's the cherry on top.

NEW VISITORS AND OLD- WELCOME!

NEW VISITORS AND OLD- WELCOME!
Well, I've made it almost 5 years now, so for better or worse, I continue on. I tend to blog in spurts as the urge to be creative erupts. As I don't have an artistic bone in my body, you will see very few changes in the layouts. Hey, I'm a reader not an artist like so many of the awesome bloggers I follow. I know you don't always have the time but if you stopped and looked, take a half a minute and say your piece. Recommend a book that you have enjoyed or hated for that matter. Thank you to all who visit.
Oh, and I moved my Google Friend Connect info and share this buttons to the top, as without our friends, who are we?

Blog Tour & Giveaway For SAVAGE By Nicole Conway


Savage (Dragonrider Legacy #1)
by Nicole Conway
Publication Date:  September 26, 2017
Publisher:  Month9Books

Savage begins the Dragonrider Legacy series, a thrilling companion to the international bestselling Dragonrider Chronicles.

Never send a hero to do a monster’s job.
Forty years have passed since Jaevid Broadfeather brought peace to Maldobar and Luntharda. But that fragile truce will be tested as darkness gathers on the horizon. The vicious armies of the Tibran Empire have crossed the far seas and are threatening to destroy Maldobar completely. Not even the dragonriders can match the Tibran war machines. And after an attempt to awaken Jaevid from his divine sleep fails, the fate of Maldobar is looking grim.
Reigh has never known what it means to be a normal human. Raised amongst the gray elves in the wild jungle of Luntharda, he’s tried everything to fit in. But the dark power within him is bursting at the seams—refusing to be silenced. And while his adoptive father, Kiran, insists this power must be kept secret, Reigh knows he’s running out of time.
As Maldobar burns, the world is desperate for a new hero. Destiny has called, and one boy will rise to answer.

Guest Post-World Building


World building in this series has been a total blast—mostly because I’m getting to delve deeper into what was introduced in the first series. Not to say you HAVE to have read The Dragonrider Chronicles to get this book. You totally don’t. But I am taking what I started there and making it richer, fuller, and really digging into the history of the world.


World building is honestly something I really enjoy. I always start with a map, because geography has such an impact on the way a culture develops, and I go from there. The Maldobar we see in this book is in the midst of rebirth. They’ve just seen the death of a tyrant and the end of a brutal era of war. As the cultures of the humans and elves begin to mesh, Maldobar is redefining itself. Not that all the change has been easy. It’s hard to overcome 20 years of war and hatred. But the proper encouragement and motivations made by those in power have helped to fan the flames of positivity and fuel a new sense of pride and comradery. That may be the only thing that saves them from the foreign threat that the Tibran Empire presents!
