I'd like to thank The Academy...

... because it's such an honor just to be nominated.

Jay has selected the seven finalists for the first Blogging For Books competition, and I made the cut. It was a lovely warm-fuzzy to find on an otherwise annoying morning, so thank you, Jay! I really enjoyed both writing for the contest and reading all the entries. When's the next one??

(Edited for the confused, to add: No, it's not over. Andrea Buchanan will be selecting the final winner, who will then receive a signed copy of her book.)
