The Tiny Caterpillar and The Great Big Tree by Kelly Moran.

Very nice to see some kind words for TBWCYL, Inc. favorite Kelly Moran's new children's book The Tiny Caterpillar and the Big Tree. Kelly is a wonderfully talented writer working across a variety of genres and we hope you will take a look. Who knows, it just might change your, or the child in your life's, life.

We have been interviewed by author Kelly Moran. Massive name-dropping ensues. Self-absorption runs rampant. And books are given away. Wow.

And we're not sure what else to say about this. We love the Moran. And Patrick Ewing. We had fun with the interview and we really do hope you check it out. Cool?

The TBWCYL, Inc. 2008 Top Ten Lists are coming and today you get our Top Ten Books. No for real, you do. Just look below.

It is Top Ten time here are TBWCYL, Inc. and our plan is to roll out lists on books, movies and music as we did last year and maybe add one on television this year as well. As we have also done in the past, we are not limiting our books list to books released in 2008, though we will do so with our other lists. On the other hand, we are quite pleased to say that we have done some kind of review on everyone of these books during the last year here at This Blog Will Change Your Life, and while we may be terribly biased in our reviews and choices, something that bothers us not in the least, we are happy to say that we have also had the opportunity to connect with everyone of these authors in some capacity, which frankly is quite cool, for us anyway, the experience for them may have been something else entirely. That said, here we go (including the hyperlink to our previous reviews):

(1) Breaking it Down - Rusty Barnes
(2) The Lost Episodes of Beatie Scareli - Ginnetta Correli
(3) Black Flies - Shannon Burke
(4) Half-Empty - Tim Hall
(5) The Heebie-Jeebies and CBGB's - Steven Lee Beeber
(6) Songs of Insurgency - Spencer Dew
(7) Sunbeams and Cigarettes - Nick Ostdick
(8) The Love Book - Ken Wohlrob
(9) Unmarketable - Anne Elizabeth Moore
(10) When the Leaves are Falling - Kelly Moran

Honorable mention: I Call This Flirting - Sherrie Flick, Unlucky Lucky Days - Daniel Grandbois and My Inflatable Friend - The Confessions of Rollo Hemphill - Gerald Jones.

Please note, that all of these books are self-published or released by independent presses, something that pleases us to no end. Also, we honestly believe that all of these books will change your life, though to be honest, even if they don't, your patronage and support will certainly help change the lives of the authors and their publishers.

A brilliant, clever, humorous, edgy, and raw portrayal of urban single life - Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine gets BookPleasure'd.

We are quite thrilled to see that Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine has received a most excellent review at BookPleasures.com from the most excellent writer Kelly Moran. We are way appreciative and if you are so inclined you can read part of the review below. So, go ahead, please do. Thanks.

"The plot flowed well and I didn’t find any dead spots where I lost interest. The characters were convincing and relatable, reminding you of just how uncertain your twenties and the dating scene could be. And anyone who can get a character to literally talk like Yoda while giving advice is fabulous in my opinion. The dialog was spectacularly honest, as if you were listening in on a real conversation. I particularly loved the coffee machine sequences, where Geoff is at work and mumbling about whatever ailments he has, and is given quirky and useless advice by his co-workers. It popped up several times in the book, making me shake my head, laughing. A recommended read!"
