Tote-able

Books on the Go. I’ve been remiss about sharing more of the entries I received during our most recent Photo Challenge. This one’s from Dani, who took the Amaranthine Saga along for a visit to Lake Superior.

Nice tote! ::twinkle::

Button Splosion. Another quick nudge (because I really, really should get back to writing) toward the ongoing photo challenge. So many more entries came in this week, and I love your creativity. I’m always delighted when you pose my books with pets, and we’re about even … cats vs. dogs. Will you be entering? Hope so. There’s time!

Photo Challenge

Bright as Pennies. Entries have started rolling in! Therefore, we’re due for a quick reminder that there’s a new Photo Challenge underway. This time, I’m prepared with a quick snapshot of the oft-mentioned “fabulous prizes.” This round, I have 5 of these pretty blank books with Starmark-esque copper accents. They’ll come inscribed to winners in the drawing.

Copper Accents

Fun Fact: Merit Starmark (that’d be Harmonious’ eldest son) was nicknamed “Penny” by Boonmar-fen Elderbough, his childhood friend. Obviously, it’s a reference to the color of his eyes. I can’t say that always-serious Merit is entirely thrilled by the endearment. ::twinkle::

Reminder: Photo Challenge

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?

Ideal Setting. This is a quick reminder that there’s a new Photo Challenge underway. Here’s a snapshot of Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox amidst fallen gingko leaves, sent to me last fall by Jeanine. What would make a good setting for your own photo shoot? ::twinkle::
