Linkety McLinkster

I swear, this month isn’t just shorter on days.  The days feel like they’re no more than eighteen hours long all of a sudden.  Amusingly enough, almost all of the books I’ve read recently are for review sites, so I’m almost caught up on blog reviews.  I’m not going to talk about Saffron Kitchen, since I listened to it over such a long time, and since  I can’t flip through it to find any supporting passages, my opinions are a little hazy.  I do have a great post on Persuasion floating around in my head, so hopefully I’ll get that out soon!

In the meantime, I have some links to catch up on!

First off, the February Bookworms Carnival is up. The host, Renay, obviously had a bunch of fun so go check it out! (I had to admire the amount of Neil Gaiman love in evidence)

Then, I realised I never announced who won the ARC copy of The House at Riverton. Whoops! The lucky winner (via random number generator) was Susan, of Bloggin’ ‘Bout Books. Go Susan! I’m looking forward to reading her thoughts on it as well. :)

Oh, and Bookfool was kind enough to give me a “Mwah”! Here’s what comes with the cute picture:

The point of the Mwah! award is “to hand some of that love and kindness back around to those who have been so very, very, very good to me in this bloggy world. My hope is that those who receive this award will pass it on to those who have been very, very, very good to them as well. It’s a big kiss, of the chaste platonic kind, from me to you with the underlying ‘thanks’ message implied. I really do appreciate your support and your friendship and yes, your comments. … Mwah!”

I have so many people leaving such kind, supportive comments, that I don’t really know how to decide who to give this to! So, I’m giving a big Mwah! to everyone who commented on my “Loud Screams” post-all of the well wishes and congratulations were so sweet. And just to show how much I appreciate it, I’m listing everyone!
