Quen & Kimi. Once I made the executive decision to leave Eloquence’s hair unbraided for this near-kiss, it became increasingly obvious that with his hair loose around his shoulders, Quen looks even more like his father. They’re both charmers in their own way. ::twinkle::

Pairing Books with Snacks. This is a quick reminder that there’s a new Photo Challenge underway. Here’s a snapshot from last round, courtesy of Saholia. Which has me contemplating a photo shoot of my own, since I still have a small stash of Kimiko-worthy snacks. What do you think pairs well with the Saga & Songs?

Cameras Ready?! Take pictures for me! This time around, I’m inviting you to send me snapshots of ANY of the books (Saga & Songs). Jumble them together or feature them individually. Prop one up in your favorite reading spot. Snag a book-sniffing selfie. Showcase the latest title with the other books in your set … with props from the story … with your mug of tea … with your pets … with your plushies … with character doodles … with a Kimiko-worthy snack. Get creative. Be enthusiastic. Impress me. Be elegant or silly. Make me smile. Because there will be fabulous prizes.

If you’re taking part, I’m going to assume you’re okay with my re-posting your pictures here on the blog, on Twitter, on Goodreads, etc. And yes, if you can find creative ways to show off your digital edition, I’ll count those pictures, too.
Fabulous Prizes. Everyone who participates (and lets me know w/ a comment or email and link) will be entered into a drawing. Four people will be selected by ye olde randomizer. Multiple pictures are welcome (encouraged, even), but they’ll add up to one entry per reader in the prize drawing. I’ll reveal what those fabulous prizes are in a future reminder. ::eyebrow waggle::
Raiding the Pantry. It’s been a while since I looked through my stash of Kimiko snacks. They’re running a mite low, and there’s no way to restock. (Quarantine inconveniences.) I’ll have to host another photo challenge, soon. Those are always fun. I like seeing your creative arrangements. ::twinkle::
Eloquence and Kimiko. I have permission from Aviva to post this in “all the places,” which amounts to … here! Fanart for Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal.

Thank you to Mariana for this entry in the Photo Challenge I hosted last summer. A cozy blanket and some chocolate sound great about now. ::twinkle::
Honey-Dipped. I love all the bright colors. And the staggering array of beverages are just as much fun to sample as the sweet and savory snacks.
Kind of Addicting. I actually like to keep Japanese peanuts in stock. They’re especially good for snacking during NaNoWriMo.
Thank you to Lexie for this entry in the Photo Challenge I hosted in August. Kimiko does love her snacks! What are yours? ::twinkle::
Thank you to Goldenmirth for this entry in the Photo Challenge I hosted last month. ::twinkle:
Thank you to Alicja for this entry in the Photo Challenge I hosted last month. Her photograph includes many details from Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal. She shared, “I got her favorite tree in, though this is a Pink Serissa not a red like Kusunoki’s.” Nice! ::twinkle::
Thank you to Lynne, who sent this along during last month’s Photo Challenge. For those who’ve read both Book 2 and Book 3, I’m sure you grasp the humor. ::twinkle::
… I really will be drawing for winners soon. Thank you for your patience!
Thank you to Leslie for her entry in the Photo Challenge for Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal. She’s been enjoying Travis Baldree’s narration. (Psst. You know that Book 3 will be coming out in audio format on September 10, right? Good!) ::twinkle::
There’s still time to enter the Photo Challenge >>
