Books, Books, and More Books!

I am fairly certain that my mailperson and USP delivery person hate me.

Why?

It might have something to do with the copious amount of books that land in my doorstep each day.  

I am currently buried beneath Cybils nominations, trying to dig my way out.

Hey, who doesn’t love living under a pile of books?  The hardest part is choosing what to read next!

Winter Blog Blast Tour!

Twice a year, Chasing Ray organizes the Blog Blast Tours.  I LOVE the tours, because I get to read interviews with a variety of authors for an entire week!  And the best part?  Most of the bloggers conduct multiple interviews, and most of the authors who participate are interviewed more than once.  I always learn so much about the authors, their writing process, their books, and random factoids from their life.  

This year’s Winter Blog Blast Tour begins tomorrow. Here is the full schedule:
