Pinterest Fun

Check out my Pinterest pages which have amazing graphics evocative of my books:

I blog occasionally about all kinds of things...
Renaissance Sue is my blog. Sometimes I write about my frustrations with the school system. Sometimes I post bits of new writing. Sometimes I talk about books I've read. Feel free to take a look and comment on my meanderings.

Book Swapping
​
If you have a limited budget for books, as I do, you spend a lot of time trying to find cheap books. The library, Goodwill, St. Vincent's are my favorites. But there is also the Paperback Swap - a great place to get books at affordable prices (basically the price of media mail.)​
