Smugglivus -- The celebration, the prizes, the book craziness
Ana and Thea -- the wonderfully creative and book-crazed reviewers over at The Book Smugglers have come up with a whole month's worth of fun to celebrate books, the people who write them, and the people who love them. With a twist on their name, and a bow to one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes, they're calling their celebration Smugglivus. Go here for their explanation; it's great!
This is a great site to add to your daily reading list. I have discovered quite a few new authors by reading their in-depth reviews. And I love that they include excerpts from the books that they're reviewing. That's one of my tests for a book I'm about to buy -- I have to read a section to see if I like the writing. Ana & Thea's tastes run similar to mine, so I'm now accumulating a stack of Book Smuggler-inspired book purchases that waiting for me to read them.
Each day there will be reviews and guest blogs from their favorite authors. They asked me to join in the fun, and so on Monday, December 15, they'll be posting a particularly funny snippet from The Trouble with Demons featuring Raine, Piaras, and Talon. I'll post the link on my blog that day, or you can just go on over to Ana & Thea's place for the fun.
I'll also be providing Ana and Thea with a book/book goodie prize pack for the contests that they'll have ongoing through the month. My giveaway will probably coincide with my post on the 15th, but if Ana & Thea let me know otherwise, I'll let you know.
I got some great blog topic questions yesterday, but I always love more. Got questions? Let me hear 'em! ; )
Have a great weekend!

Hey how do you come up with intersesting plot lines?
I get that question a lot -- especially from people who've known me for years. Though the question usually comes out more like, "Where do you GET that stuff?" I just tell 'em "My brain's wired like that. Scary, huh?" ; )
Seriously, I've been making up stories for as long as I can remember.
Thanks again Lisa for the shoutout :) We cannot wait to have you over on the 15th!!!
And really, who doesn't love Seinfeld? :p
