Contest Fever

I was busy and hadn't been reading my usual blogs recently. But I'm trying to catch up with friends. And it seems that lots are having a contest! Darcy is awarding a copy of Kate Jacob's newest book in the Friday Night Knitting series. And while I haven't even read the second book, I'm still gonna try for winning the third. The second won't be hard to read. I've always been a reader. I did buy the first book in the series and then included the book in a swap package I was sending out. Darcy also has a wonderful story posted on her blog with a background story about going to Kate Jacob's book signings. I haven't ever lived near an area that had book signings - I'm a bit jealous!

82. April Fools Challenge

Actually, I don't think it's technically an April Fool's contest - but that is the deadline for entering. Anne posted a contest on her blog - you are to name one of your favorite blogs - and why it's a must read.

While I don't check in but maybe once a week, The Pioneer Woman is a great blog. She writes wonderful stories, takes amazing pictures (her subjects don't hurt that either), and posts true artery clogging recipes on her companion cooking blog. Be sure to read the back story - Black Heels to Tractor Wheels! If I ever find out this is fiction and not the true romance story behind her and her Marlboro Man, damage will occur!
