Wednesday Wanderings

Posted by shelburns on 22nd October 2008

No, it is not supposed to say “wonderings,” I did that on purpose.  I have been wandering through my favorite blogs this morning, reading the latest posts, learning about books and people, and entering challenges.  This is the part of blogging that I love the most, because it’s through other blogs that I learn so much and find such great reads, ideas, and thoughts.  So, I thought that I would share with you what I’ve found today.  I am going to try to make this a weekly thing on my blog, so if there are any button makers out there reading this, I would love a button for Wednesday Wanderings, if you’d like to make one.  I’m so bad with all of the technical stuff! :-)

I stopped by Hey Lady, Whatcha’ Readin’? and found a great review and giveaway.  It is, The Likeness by Tana French.  To steal a quote from Trish, she says, THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I’VE READ THIS YEAR. Truly, seriously, I’m not even kidding, I can’t stop thinking about this book.”  I encourage you to stop by, read the review and enter the contest.  All you have to do is leave a comment about how many pets you have – different, huh?  It has nothing to do with the book either.  If you post about the giveaway on your blog, you will get 3 extra entries.  What are you waiting for?

Do you like history, historical fiction?  What about Nefertiti?  Well, take a look at what Dar has at Peeking Between the Pages has to giveaway this week.  Michelle Moran, author of Nefertiti and The Heretic Queen, stopped by for a guest post.  She gave Dar 2 copies of The Heretic Queen and 1 copy of Nefertiti to give to 3 different people.  Just leave a comment for 1 entry, comment about something specific from the guest post for another, and blog about it for one more.  The drawing is on Oct. 31.

Finally, I visited My Friend Amy, where today, she poses a great discussion question: What kind of blogger are you?  I had to get in on that one…check it out!

So, what do you think about Wednesday Wanderings being a weekly thing here at Write for a Reader?  Where have you wandered today, or this week even?  What did you find that piqued your interests?  Please let me know by commenting.
