The TBR Pile



As we are drawing closer to the submission deadline for the November 20th Winter Edition (September 30th), I thought that all of you might be wondering what I was doing with submissions that are still “To Be Read”. Though this list of books “To Be Read” only exists in the digital space, I have decided to call it a “Pile” anyway. Every time I look at “The TBR Pile” for “Clean Fiction” I get excited. So many interesting books in so many genres just waiting for me to open them! I was saddened by the fact that I could not possibly read them all and review them before deadline because I am really exited to share these books with readers! Then the thought crossed my mind...Why wait? Part of me was still slightly apprehensive to place books in the magazine that I had not yet read, but I decided that it was not enough of an impediment to keep me from doing it.


So, what am I doing with “The TBR Pile”? I will be trusting those who submitted their books and sharing ALL of them in listings that will be scattered throughout the magazine. There will be a warning at the beginning of the publication to read these books at your own risk, but honestly after reading all of the book blurbs I do not think that readers will have any problems. Some of these books were so well reviewed that I even gave them small features. As I said before, I cannot wait to share all of these great books/authors with you!

It's a Beautiful Day

Image
If I am being honest, things in my personal life lately have been pretty stressful. People I love were having major surgery, friends of mine are hurting, my kiddos were sick, and in the last week, 3 women close to me have either had a baby, are actively having a baby, or are trying to save their pregnancy. I don't know how you deal with stress, but even though I am worlds better at it than I once was, I am not great at it. Others' pain and hardship weigh on me as if it were my own. Lately, I have been floundering under the weight, but in the midst of the hardest day, God sent me a smile in the shape of a young boy singing a song. And now I want to share the words with you because I am well aware that as long as we live in this world and not the next, we will have strife and hardship. This is your reminder that no matter what is going on in your life right now, you are not alone. Lord, I thank you for sunshine. Thank you for rain. Thank you for joy. Thank you for pain. It's

Realm Makers Conference

I missed you guys last week! The conference took all of my focus and energy. I went. I saw. I talked and talked and talked and talked...you get the idea. Being an extrovert wading in a sea of introverts, I must admit to being rather intimidated. Not that I don't know how to talk to introverted individuals (my husband is a super introvert after all), but it usually takes some time for people to warm up to my rather boisterous personality. I tried to curb my enthusiasm so as not to frighten people away and waste what little time I had with each person. I focused on making every interaction count by both being myself (not some sort of marketing robot) and offering what I could to help/support their business. If you missed it, being an author is a small business and if you know me you know that I LOVE supporting small businesses. And there I was, SURROUNDED by small businesses that I could help. (insert glee here) Overall, it was a good experience. I didn't get the benefit of going

A Little Bit of Background

I hope that everyone is having a great week and happy Wednesday to you all! I am pleased to say that the Book Cosplay Contest is in full swing, but of course we could always use more entrants (You have until July 31, 2021)! If you feel so inclined, feel free to pop over to CleanFictionMagazine.com for more information. With that out of the way, I am going to give you an update on the progress of compiling all the wonderful content that I know that you are going to love! I just finished writing up a review on an exciting almost 400 page Sci Fi book that I am SOOOO excited to share. I am also trying to connect with great clean fiction authors to bring you exclusive author interviews. If you enjoy the slight silliness that I include in my book reviews, you will be pleased to know that Clean Fiction Magazine is going to be more of that same light hearted content. Here is some background about me and why a publication like this is right up my alley. I currently work part time for my family&
