Where to eat in Boracay? Boracay Philippines isn’t just about the most beautiful beaches in the world and the nicest people I’ve ever met, no, Boracay food is some of the best food I’ve ever tasted! You’re going to be spoilt for choice, so where should you eat in Boracay? Whenever there’s a lot of choice, I encourage everyone to try eating vegan – vegan food is healthy, it’s good for the planet and (most of all) it’s the only type of food that’s cruelty-free.

CONGRATS TO LUCKY WINNER- DORIS! Guess what?! Lori Wilde , the author of The Sweethearts’ Knitting Club is guest blogging here today! You can read more about the book and my review at  A Bookworm Reads . Too impatient to click thru? In that case, The Sweethearts’ Knitting Club ( Avon, 400p, Isbn-9780061808890 ) is the kind of cozy romance you’ll want to curl up with during the holidays…and never put down. Authors are often asked where they get their ideas. We hate that question. I contend we’re being asked the wrong question. I think the real question is: How do you turn those millions of ideas into a cohesive story? Because let’s face it, truly ideas are everywhere. All you have to do is turn on the television or get on Twitter or observe your friends and family. There’s no lack of ideas. The bare spark for The Sweethearts’ Knitting Club started from a comment I heard an editor make at a conference. She said nothing does it for her like bad boys. Readers seem to agree. But how to
