Hey Donna, great wrap-up! I have a review of FIRE over here:
http://angieville.blogspot.com/2009/06/fire-by-kristin-cashore.html
Lovely wrap-up. I love how you put all the reviews in next to the book!
I didn't realize Blue Bloods 4 was out today..yay! Not that I have time to read it! :)
Thanks for the mention!
Oh, my, looks like I need to hit a bookstore SOON....
Angie - I don't know how I missed your review! I remember reading it. I've added it. Thanks for letting me know. :)
Mandi - I haven't read any of the Blue Bloods books but I picked up the first one this past weekend at the used book store.
Chris - You're welcome! You have quite a list going over on your blog. :)
I love these posts of yours.
Those are a lot of new releases and contests to keep up with. I really liked how you provided the review link w/ the book. :)
I just love these "breaking news" posts you do. Goodness so much drama with the FTC, you would think this was an episode of the Hills.
Looking for a great gift for YA, the new fantasy novel, "Gateway to DreamWorld," was released last month and has been receiving rave reviews.
During the cold months ahead, they will curl up in a warm blanket or in front of the fireplace and enter a fantasy world filled with excitement and suspense.
The book is listed on Amazon.com, Barnes&Nobles.com, and Powell’s Books.com
TJ & Colette - Thanks!
KC - I know, right!?! I think most everyone will be alright just as long as they are honest about where their books come from. I've always said where mine come from. I've been lucky to win a few and get some for review but usually they come out of my own wallet. Can you hear the pennies clinking? :)
