Good luck, everyone! I'm afraid that only US residents will be able to win the grand prize this time around. Next time I'll make sure we've got a couple of different options so we don't have to exclude anyone. Thanks for hopping and be sure to check out all the posts on the Linky list. There are prizes galore and loads of truly terrific posts too!

Love,
Libby

  1. Libby, this looks great. The trouble is, I'm not really sure how it works. I think it's a blog hop for authors, right. To enter, you have to offer a prize yourself. It is a great idea for published authors.

    1. Oh, no. Not at all. But the giveaway doesn't officially open for another hour and 40 minutes. Hope you check back. :-)

  2. Thanks Libby for organizing this Blog Hop! I pulled this quote about location off Goodreads; thought I’d share. I’m really enjoying everyone’s posts and blogs. This is fun! – Julie Valerie, @JBValerie, Blogs on julievalerie.com Blog title: “Chick Lit Chit Chat” Sub-title: a gleeful gallop through the chick lit genre

    Here's the quote:

    “It was [Robert Louis] Stevenson, I think, who most notably that there are some places that simply demand a story should be told of them. ...After all, perhaps Stevenson had only half of the matter. It is true there are places which stir the mind to think that a story must be told about them. But there are also, I believe, places which have their story stored already, and want to tell this to us, through whatever powers they can; through our legends and lore, through our rumors, and our rites. By its whispering fields and its murmuring waters, by the wailing of its winds and the groaning of its stones, by what it chants in darkness and the songs it sings in light, each place must reach out to us, to tell us, tell us what it holds. ("The Axholme Toll")”
    ― Mark Valentine, The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror 21

    1. The Emma Kaufmann link is broken; thought someone should know...

      Delete
    2. You are so welcome! And thanks so much for hopping too.

      Sigh, I do know about Emma's link and a few of the others aren't working either. I've tried to fix this, but the linky list seems to be set in stone. Sorry everyone. I'll make a note of this in Rafflecopter but the "post on everyone's blog" option will obviously not need to include blogs that don't have a post up.

  18. Libby! Thanks for putting together such a wonderful hop. And, I do love San Fran. It's the site of my fav RWA conference so far, a weird "fake relationship" adventure, and some of the best car chase scenes ever!
