Few reminders :)

Happy Monday y'all! (Or rather, what ho and all that. I'm listening to one of my stand-by Bertie & Jeeves while digging my way through a pile of housework. ;D)

First a couple general notes, then a quick checklist of heads-up reminders -- would love to have you join in any or all of these!

• Time permitting, I'm hoping to reply to all your lovely recent comments asap <3

• My P&P '05 review is coming together well -- it's still aways out/I have to screencap it, but getting excited to hear all your thoughts
  

And announcements --

1) This month's Inklings is still open through the end of this week.

2) Our LOTR read-along is progressing nicely, so be sure to be sure to pop over and check that out if you're interested.

3) Finally (and I cannot believe how fast this is coming up! :P), but our Fred Astaire/Gene Kelly blogathon is NEXT WEEK! If you haven't already, check it out HERE. We'd positively love to have you join us, iffen ye're so inclined. :)

And... I wanna keep this short and sweet and get it posted while my internet's still working, so I think that's it folks... *scratching head and double checking...* yup, that's it! Pip pip!

Inklings & LOTR Read-Along

Hey y'all!

I hope you're having a lovely Sunday... This morning was gorgeous (all early light and shadows and dappled sunshine with fresh air). The afternoon's heated up a bit, but all in all I'm enjoying the blue I can still see in the sky after weeks of smoke. 

And... (you can pretty much tell everything from the title, but I figured I'd better put in some pictures and give you at least a couple paragraphs for a proper post ;)), this is just a quick reminder that this month's Inklings link-up is still open through Wednesday.

Also, we'll officially be starting our LOTR read-along HERE tomorrow (very exciting), so make sure to follow over there if you'd like to join us (or even just pop in now and then, which would also be fine and dandy).

That's all, folks. Have a lovely evening!

Guest Post on Amy March

Happy Thursday everyone!

I was recently honored to do a character sketch of Amy March here for Hamlette's wonderful Little Women read-along. Do check it out and share your thoughts!

Giveaway & Persuasion Read-Along

First, a quick reminder that my giveaway for Ellen and Tales for Little Ears is ending tomorrow over on my author blog—so if you haven't entered, do hurry over and check it out! The giveaway link is here.

Also, our read-along for Jane Austen's Persuasion is going very well over at Literary Adventures. We're on Chapter 5 and (if you aren't already) you're more than welcome to join us whenever you like!

I hope you're all having a most lovely Wednesday!

Announcing....A New Blog!

To make a general announcement, I recently started a new blog where—Lord willing—I'll be able to host some read-alongs and further literary discussions! At the moment, I have a read-along for Jane Austen's Persuasion scheduled to begin January 5 and you're all invited! The blog is here. It's separate from this one, so if you're already following here and are interested, you'll need to do a separate "follow" over there (either with Google followers, email, or bloglovin'). Also, even if you're not able to join the read-along, you're more than welcome to follow the blog, enjoy the posts and even join in the conversation! 

I've posted some buttons for the Persuasion read-along here. I'd love to know what you think and if you're planning to join us.... And I hope you're all having a lovely Monday!
