 DRUMROLL PLEASE…as we have a winner:
DERA WILLIAMS
Congrats Dera and since you’ve already read Sweetsmoke, I know you will appreciate adding an authographed copy to your bookshelves.

This summer, after book blogging was patronized in the mainstream media, Amy from My Friend Amy made a suggestion that we celebrate book blogging. From that idea, Book Blogger Appreciation Week was born. Many of us have participated in interviews, contests, give-aways, and through awards; but, this would never have happened were it not for [...]

Matrimony by Joshua Henkin is another book that I have seen all week via Book Bloggers Appreciation.  I thought the cover was attractive but I do not know why I did not stop, pause and check out the book description to see if it would even be something that I would be interested in reading.  Maybe I was thrown because the book [...]

Okay, as many of you know, this week is Book Blogger Appreciation Week.  Because of APOOO’s participation, I have met a few new book bloggers and a NY Times best-selling author to boot.  So I am thrilled, excited and cheezing and grinning because I was able to be apart of MyFriendAmy’s vision.  Amy did a wonderful job of bringing [...]

Book Club Girl asked the following question on a recent blog:
Tell me a bout a book you’ve read where the location becomes a character itself.
I know I’ve read books like this but I’m stumped…so I’m going to bed and will come back tomorrow to share some of my picks.  In the meantime, feel free to [...]

Did I tell you all I recently started using Google Reader to follow my favorite bloggers.  And while I have TONS on my list (won’t share the number because it’s so embarrassing), there are very few READER/BOOK Bloggers on my list that discuss OUR VOICES, OUR STORIES.  Yep, I subscribe to tons of author blogs…but [...]
