Liesl and Liebster

First of all, congratulations to my friend Liesl who just sold her book to Knopf/Random House! I was lucky enough to read RUMP before she started querying it, and I love it! It's so much fun. Anyway, I'm super happy for her and you can read more about it here. So go congratulate her.

And, while you're at it, go congratulate Jenn Johansson for selling her book in Italy! Today is just full of awesome news!

Also, Liesl was sweet enough to give me the Liebster Award:




The Liebster Award is meant to connect us even more and spotlight new bloggers who, at the moment, have less than 200 followers. The rules are:

1.Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
2.Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3.Post the award on your blog.
4.Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the Internet – other writers.
5.And best of all – have fun and spread the karma! 


I'd like to highlight the following blogs:


1. Leisha Maw who makes me laugh and helps me not take myself so seriously.


2. Taryn Albright who has so much energy and inspires me to work a little harder.


3. Stacy Henrie who always has warm and happy blog posts. 


4. Kelly Bryson who gives fun book reviews and excellent writing advice. 


5. Heather Dixon because I love her blog. Seriously, she has the funniest posts that she illustrates herself. (Okay, I'm not sure how many followers Heather has because Blogger isn't telling me right now, but I'm passing the award along anyway.)
