Give-Away Heads Up and more...

A FOUR book give-away is to be had right now over on the SiWC blog, so hop on over there and leave a comment. We're looking for the book you are most thankful to have read.

You'll notice I didn't answer this one, as I actually have NO idea which book I would choose. I have so many favourites -- I just don't know. Books that inspired me, enslaved me, enraptured me... it's just too tough a question for me. But hopefully not for you! To qualify, you'll need to make your choice and leave a comment by Friday, November 28th, 2008 at midnight.

And I can't believe I'm doing this, but...I got tagged by the devilish A Novel Woman, after she was tagged by the dastardly Grape Journal, both of whom requested a list of six things you may not know about me. Just to prove I refuse to follow the herd, my twist is to list six artists who are currently knocking my socks off in their respective fields.

And since I simply cannot force myself to tag someone else, I invite anyone who would care to participate to do so and send me a link in the comments.

And so I bring you : Six Sock-Knocking Artists...

Pee Ess... I'm kinda into Neil Gaiman in a big way these days, too, but he's got enough good press without me. Oh -- and Mervyn Peake, too, but he's ...well, he's dead.
