Book Blogger Holiday Swap!

(from holidayswap.wordpress.com)

What is the Book Bloggers Holiday Swap?
It’s an annual Secret Santa gift exchange between book bloggers, now
in its third year!

How does it work?
First, you sign up by filling in the Google Form on our introduction post.
You have until the 12th of November to do so. You’ll then be
randomly assigned another blogger, whose Secret Santa you’ll be.

Anyone can sign up for this, right?
Yep – all book bloggers are welcome!
(that means all of us international BBers too!)

A small gift? How small?
Your gift could be a book, a journal or bookmark, a box of Christmas
cookies, a mixed CD, a crafty homemade gift, etc. It doesn’t have to
be anything pricey, of course. To make everyone more comfortable,
we’ll be letting you know if your “santee” would mind gently used
books.

I've already signed up, and can't wait to see who my "santee" will be!
Why don't you sign up?
It'll be fun!

Waiting on Wednesday #6

LINGER, by Maggie Stiefvater
(like you didn't know)

Isn't it such a beautiful cover?
I totally love it!

This is the story of a boy who used to be a wolf and a girl who was becoming one.

Just a few months ago, it was Sam who was the mythical creature. His was the disease we couldn't cure. His was the good-bye that meant the most. He had the body that was a mystery, too strange and wonderful and terrifying to comprehend.

But now it is spring. With the heat, the remaining wolves will soon be falling out of their wolf pelts and back into their human bodies. Sam stays Sam, and Cole stays Cole, and it's only me who's not firmly in my own skin.

Released Fall 2010

nano thoughts

Whenever you delete a sentence in your NaNoWriMo novel, a NaNoWriMo angel loses its wings and plummets, screaming, to the ground.

Where it will likely require medical attention.

These are words to live by. Resist the tyranny of the delete key! Onward! Upward! To Day Three!

NaNo is here!

This will be my first time participating, since it's the first time I've heard about it.

I've already got my story shaped in my head, got the (maybe finished) title, I even got a book cover!
I hope I make it to the 50.000 words finish line!

Who else is participating this year?
If you are, you're more than welcome to add me as your Writing Buddy :)

Good luck everyone!
