(I found a spot earlier showing Ex
Libris's favorite blogs and had
the giveaway listed. I left an
entry in a spot shown, so if you find two entries from me that's
what happened!)

Much nicer weather in Houston today! Temps down a bit and,
best of all, the humidity was
down!

Thanks for thinking of your readers and having such cool contest. Can't wait to read your book.

Just thinking that if I lived in Pennyroyal Green, I would probably work at Miss Marietta Endicott's Academy for Girls, but I would want to spend my evenings at the Pig and Thistle.

By way of a contest-hopeful comment, I thought I'd tell you the first sentence of yours that stopped me cold because the simile was so apt and evocative. From WIDFAD: "It was unexpected and he nearly stumbled; it was like inadvertently staring at his fingers during a pianoforte piece and losing his place." That sentence taught me to savor your prose. Thank you for it, and all the other gems!

Very nice day in northern Minnesota. My granddaughters convinced pappa that he should take us out on the boat tonight. The lake was as smooth as glass.

Hi, Julie**waving**! It's hot like it's the middle of summer here...mother nature's lagging behind a little! Thanks for the chance to win your book...perfect for reading in the shade with a tall, cold glass of lemonade if I get lucky!

[Diana Thomas]

I can't wait to read the new book, whether I win it or buy it.

What a relief to discover I haven't lost my mind and there really wasn't a place to comment on the ex libris blog.
