Good morning! I hope y'all remembered to set your clocks back and enjoyed your extra hour of sleep last night! Daylight Savings Time is over till March, and we're in for that early winter darkness now. For the lucky ones, that may mean some nice, long. cozy evenings of reading ahead.
It's been a few weeks since I've properly Saloned on a Sunday--although I did pop in a day late last week with some author-provided book-review guidelines--and even longer since I've done Bookkeeping, so a Reading Status Report is just a bit overdue!
My current reading doesn't lend itself to my usual review format, so I'll be blogging about it in a different way over the next couple of weeks. Since we're in the midst of NaBloPoMo, I'm looking forward to highlighting a few sections from Sticky Readers: How to Attract a Loyal Blog Audience by Writing More Better, a truly useful, content-focused blogging guide by humor blogger Margaret Andrews of Nanny Goats in Panties. I'm also very excited about featuring some choice clips from Anna Lefler's The CHICKtionary, currently on tour via TLC Book Tours. I met Anna a few years ago, even before she launched her humor blog Life Just Keeps Getting Weirder, and I love seeing the great reception her book is getting!
Speaking of great receptions...there's still time to give some of your choices for the best books of 2011 a great reception--and some recognition--with a nomination in the 2011 Indie Lit Awards! Nominations in the seven categories are open until December 31:
Eligible books must have been published in print for the first time in 2011 (e-book-only titles are, unfortunately, ineligible).
