Adventures in Crafting with Words

I spent way too much time today creating promos that would fit well on Twitter.  I had been using the book covers, but it's occurred to me that those aren't the right shape for Twitter.  I know.  I know.  Social media is something I'm still getting used to, years later.  It changes.  It becomes confusing.  There's already so many things I'm having to adapt to... Familial issues. Etsy issues. Scheduling my time issues. All I'd really like to do is sit down and read a book.  I have to save that for when I'm at the gym on the treadmill. Kindle - setting font size 3.  Although I have trouble 'turning' the pages on the treadmill.  Not so much on the elliptical.  Lately I've taken to carrying the huge Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 5 book omnibus edition around.  Oh the looks I'll get at the gym.

I've been waiting a while in order to post my review about The Collector's Society Series by Heather Lyons.  Mostly because I was waiting for the series to be complete.  Partly because I've been so busy with outside factors.  Cleaning out my grandparent's house for example.  Taking my mom to her Cardiac Rehab three days a week for another.  First: The Basics The Collectors Society consists of 4 books - The Collector's Society, The Hidden Library, The Forgotten  Mountain, and the Lost Codex (There's also a character encyclopedia.) What happens when the stories we all know and love become actual timelines where the characters can travel between our world and various stories? Meet The Collector's Society lead by Abraham (Brom) Van Brunt.  You might recognize him as Brom Bones from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (The Headless Horseman).  As the Librarian calls him - Brom is the Head of the Organization. And meet his Sons - Victor Frankenstein J...
