Coming up this week:
When I love a book I really love a book. I even get a little obsessed about it....reading it over and over, harassing people to buy it. You will see in the coming months what I'm talking about - I have a few things planned pertaining to my favorite authors.
Up first is Willow by Julia Hoban. This was by far the best book I read last year. I've read it many times but I still get totally sucked in everytime. Willow was released in paperback this month and to celebrate I'm dedicating the whole week to Willow and Julia Hoban.
First up is a contest of course! I'm giving away a copy of Willow.
I'll post my review and then a little something special for those of you that have already read the book. I won a "marked up" (the author writes notes throughout the book) copy of Willow last year at a charity book auction. I will explain more about that and how you can participate yourself when the auctions start back up in August and I will be sharing the "mark ups". If you are a fan of this book you won't want to miss it. I'll tell you why Julia chose the names "Willow" and "Guy", the inspirations for different scenes and more!
I'll also have an interview with Julia.

See - like I said....obsessed!

This week's pet is "Bob" the stuck up cat (or so his owner says) sent in by Maresa. Awwww - leave poor Bob alone!
If you have a pet send your picture in and I'll use it in a Sunday post!!
