Blogger Eric Brown says “I have to say this is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. It’s not a prize winner, but for sheer enjoyment and, at times, I found myself laughing out loud at what Eileen writes.”

Inspired by his book Globejotting: How to Write Extraordinary Travel Journals (and still have time to enjoy your trip!), Fox created these tours to help travelers combine having fantastic experiences while being able to keep journals that capture the excitement of their trip.

The writing classes each trip are optional, so if your travel partner is allergic to pen, paper, or netbooks, s/he can do his/her own thing while you participate in the classes.

Visit Dave Fox’s site for details, and make sure to tell him you heard about him through his publisher! Dave’s currently offering $300 off for his Vietnam 2010 trip.

Reader Views published a glowing review of Beverly Lein’s Wolf Spirit: The Story of Moon Beam. The review mentions the novel’s “dangerous and realistic picture of life in the forest away from civilization . . . All of the wolves have their own personalities and characteristics, and their interactions with Rachel are all different. It is fascinating to read how Rachel manages her own life and at the same time creates a special relationship with each of ‘her’ wolves.”

“If you like drinking milk while reading, only to have it squirt from your nose seconds later, this is a book for you.”

While we usually describe Stephanie Snowe’s account of a single parent of twins’ dating adventures as a hilarious tale with shades of a real life, southern version of Bridget Jones, we have to admit that we prefer Ross’s description.

King Snozzle of Snozz was published this February to the fanfare of big-nosed trumpets. When King Snozzle the Eighth must marry, his countrymen urge him to pick a snooty, large-snouted duchess. Will the king instead choose the sweet and clever commoner as his bride?
