Monday, October 6th, 2008Reading and Blogging for Darfur
Natasha over at Mawbooks has done a remarkable thing - she had a month long reading and blogging for Darfur event (you can see the final numbers here) and is now doing a final giveaway. Her event not only raised awareness of the Darfur tragedy, but it is still raising money to help the people over there.
I had intended to participate more fully in this event - but September was crazy and got away from me. If you are like me, it is still not too late to contribute. Go to Natasha’s wrap-up post and see how you can donate money to this worthy cause. I’ve decided to sponsor Natasha for BOTH number of pages read AND number of posts written for a total of $85.05. Natasha gives a list of charities which help this cause.
Monday, October 6th, 2008Mailbox Monday - October 6, 2008
What showed up in your mailbox this week? Here are the gems that arrived at my home:
The Monsters of Templeton, by Lauren Goff which arrived from Pamela on behalf of Hyperion books.
Nefertiti AND The Heretic Queen, by Michelle Moran
Ms. Moran sent me her books and I was thrilled when they arrived and I found them both autographed! I will be hosting a giveaway of Moran’s work on my blog in December - so watch for details!
