ReplyDeleteThanks for the update.

Tina--
ReplyDeleteThese posts are the highlight of my weekends. Loved the Glee video! :)
Congrats, Seekers, on all the new releases, gorgeous covers, and prestigiuos rankings. Y'all are amazing!
That's my new favorite motivational tune, Anne. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this weekend 'coffee edition.' Thanks for the posting the schedule of all to come. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteCara, great cover!
Julie, planning to read your series next...looking forward to it.

Hi:
ReplyDeleteHow are all our NaNo writers doing? By bedtime tonight the on schedule quota is 36,674. Good luck.
Vince
At 17,409 I am thinking I better type faster.
ReplyDeleteA post about coffee. Always needed, whatever time of day it is.
ReplyDeleteI hope this is still the weekend so I can try for the prize :)
ReplyDeleteI loved the links to the PW story on vampires in Christian lit. Found Tracey Bateman's comment interesting, where she kind of had to defend herself for writing about vampires. She said she came up with the idea before Twilight happened.
I don't think it matters. If the book's good, who cares if it was spawned by the Twilight phenom?
Cathy
With all this coffee being talked about, Tina, you know exactly how to reel in coffee addicts like me! (No need to enter me in the VIA drawing, though! I know it's good. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVED watching that clip from "Glee" again--I think that was my favorite of all their songs.
Hope everyone in Seekerville who's celebrating Thanksgiving this week will have a wonderful one!
It's the weekend until Saturday.
ReplyDeleteHiya Marilyn!!!! Happy TD to you toooo.
