If you are on Google+, look me up - Heather R. - Link in Sidebar to the Right ->

I am no longer an Amazon Associate. I am currently working on updating my posts with links to various locations to buy books. One of the links I am including is to RJ Julia - this is my favorite local independent book store. You can shop their store online and have access to pretty much anything you are looking for. I do not have any affiliation with any of these sites - just looking to support my local indie book store.

Anyone looking for a new feed reader? My recommendation is Bloglovin'. I made the switch and love the layout, plus there is now an app for my phone. If you use Bloglovin' or have made the switch to another feed reader, please make sure you are following me on it so you miss none of the content here!

Get your HF Bingo board to participate in this fun challenge/game which runs until February 24th.

Blogfest 2012 at The Maiden’s Court


Hi everyone and welcome to this stop on Blogfest 2012!!! This is my first year participating but I have wanted to have the opportunity to get in on one of these large giveaway parties for awhile!

So, first of all, Blogfest is exactly what it sounds like – a huge blog festival with roughly (my guess - give or take) a hundred bloggers participating. You can check out all the blogs participating (and all the great giveaways) by visiting the host site – A Journey of Books. Blogfest runs from September 28th through September 30th – so its just a short giveaway run but packed with prizes up for grabs.

I am offering up for grabs the winners pick of one of the following gently used books:

  • (HC) The House at Riverton by Kate Morton
  • (HC) The White Queen by Philippa Gregory
  • (HC) The Dark Lantern by Gerri Brightwell
  • (HC) The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova

Giveaway is open to participants in the USA and Canada. The last day to enter is September 30th, and the winner will be announced October 1st. Simply complete the Rafflecoptor below to enter.
