Thanks so much for the awesome list. And thanks for including my niece's interview. I'm sending her mom (my sister) a link to your page. They'll be so excited!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend :D
Great, comprehensive list, as usual! Love the Friday round-ups. I could spend all day reading from the links. Thanks for pulling them together!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, again, for a great list! A quick scan shows me there's a bunch of links here I want to check out...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the usual dizzying array of linkies! Very informative stuff.
ReplyDelete(And I can't figure out which post it was that I couldn't comment on earlier in the week...duh. Well, hope you got the bugs out--or maybe it was just on my end!)
Interesting links. So far, I checked out a few of the "Craft of Writing" ones.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, what's your criteria for links in the round-up? Do you just choose ones from the high-profile blogs, or do you selectively pick them?
amazing list as always! Thank you, thank you!
ReplyDeletefyi - I'm giving away 18 YA and MG books on my blog if you want to check it out and list it in next week's round up.
