Always busy! I can’t manage to live any other way! 🙂
I enjoyed your conference recap- looks like a great event!So many authors there… must have been a blast. Have a fantastic week!
Thanks – it WAS a really fantastic event. I love that I live so close to a flourishing bookshop that hosts so many events!
wow there is a boat load of giveaways going up. I am hoping you are having a great week!
Thanks! Good luck on those giveaways!
You’ve shared some interesting posts from around the sphere, and look at all those giveaways! Enjoy your week 🙂
I love sharing! Why should I keep all the good stuff to myself? 🙂
Good luck with getting all those lovelies read! I really enjoyed your recap posts. Hopefully next week will be more productive for you. Happy reading!
Glad you enjoyed the recaps – I love writing them!
I hope your daughter enjoys this! Happy reading, Nicole!
It was really sweet of Shannon to send it!!
Quiet weeks are good, especially after a busy week like that! Glad you got your editing job done.
Yes, I’m happy for a quiet week now and again!
I’m glad you got an editing project done, and it’s probably good this weekend was a bit slower! I had a pretty good weekend but it was busy and I’m so not ready for work and all that to start again.
Yes – I have a couple of other editing projects coming down the pipeline, but for now I’m just doing initial reads and giving feedback, which is lowkey. 🙂
Thanks for sharing a link to my blog! I was so excited by your conference posts that I’ve started asking my boss if there’s any way I can attend some conferences for reading teachers.
Oh, I hope you can!! Conferences are a fantastic way to get a different perspective on authors – this one was geared toward teachers and I’m sure there are plenty of others that are the same!
After our big Anderson’s weekend, I spent this last weekend in Napa, and I also had to prep for an all day training that I gave yesterday. The last two weeks have been insane to put it mildly, and I’m just now trying to catch up on the blogs I follow! Thanks for the awesome shout out for my Anderson’s post – I enjoyed doing it, and I’m glad you enjoyed it. Ummmmm…..that Harper winter release giveaway is AMAZING!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!! I love your Sunday wrap-ups and all of the reading and winning opportunities you present!
