Thankful for FREE Stories

What are you thankful for this time of year? Family? Friends? Cheese? (Oh, that last one may just be me...)

If you've been with us for very long, you've discovered almost an entire years worth of awesome stories. (And if you haven't, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Get your read on, eh?) I, for one, have been provoked to deep thought, chuckled, gasped, and been thoroughly entertained.

So the theme for this month is: 

(Bet you didn't see that one coming. Ha ha.)
This is a month for reflection and gratitude. (And cheese! Believe you me, I'll be eating PLENTY. Have a slice, eh?)

Have you found a new favorite author here? Read a story that especially touched you or made you smile? Read on and you will.

Oh, and thank YOU for reading.

September Theme: Get Schooled

It's that time of year again, at least in most parts, where students are back to the daily grind of classes and homework. For those of us who teach, this means back to classrooms, paperwork, and grading :) While the date for when students start the new year has crept more and more into August, September 1st used to traditionally mark the start of the new term (as well as the day the Hogwarts Express left 9&3/4's). So, for this month, the awesome authors on LQR will be sharing stories about getting schooled.

As I watch the new crop of students this year, I can't help but think back to those days when my life revolved around school (okay, it's still does, but not as a student anymore). It's an interesting time to spend your day in a classroom with your peers, learning (or attempting to), as well as all the social aspects that go along with it and often teach more lessons than a teacher ever could hope to (hello first romances, friendships, and drama galore!). So, stay tuned this month, there's sure to be some amazing reading!
