So this weekend I've been pecking away at Bloggiesta, and while I'm not accomplishing as much as I'd like, I have managed to get the bulk of my three reviews written, as well as a few details on projects. I did take a break to watch several episodes of the second season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles which is so achingly strong in these last episodes I know I'll feel a sense of loss when it's over.
So I hope to get a bunch more done today--like those stinking RSS buttons! And a few more posts written. But really, I have many different days in my week that are like mini-bloggiestas.
In other news, Beth Kephart has revealed the cover for You Are My Only, her new book coming from Egmont in October. Personally, I love it!* Read more on Beth's blog.
In the Lunch Community, I asked the question, Will the Physical Book Go Away Completely? Come join in the discussion!
At the Underground Lit Society, we shared our most recent podcast--a personal favorite--ZOMBIES! I hope you'll check it out since it talked with both Mira Grant, author of Feed, and Jesse Petersen, author of Married with Zombies and Flip This Zombie.
And just a reminder, tomorrow at 1 PM EST, 10 AM PST Deborah of Books, Movies, Chinese Food and I will be on Twitter hosting a chat about Christian fiction. We're really hopeful a lot of people will show up for the chat and engage in honest respectful dialogue. Even if you don't see any problems with Christian fiction as it is, we encourage you to come and listen. Deborah recently wrote a very brave and honest post about how she feels about Christian fiction and Hannah of Wordlily also shared some thoughts. I've heard rumblings that a few more bloggers might post their own thoughts as well. I hope they do and also join in on our Twitter chat!
Coming this week:
More thoughts on Christian fiction, reviews of Never Been Kissed by Melody Carlson, Drought by Pam Bachorz, and the return of The Vampire Diaries, plus much more!
Have a wonderful Sunday! If you're bloggiesta'ing, reading, or doing something else, I hope it's wonderful!

The Sunday Salon -- Bloggiesta Update and Awesome News
Logging you in...
Quite a few of you have been working hard this week on your blogs! Even if it doesn't feel like you got a lot accomplished, Amy, it sure does sound like it. Because of my extra long days at work, I find that the only time I can really work on my blog is on the weekends, so I've been trying to prep early. Unfortunately, I'm more of an off the cuff blogger so it makes things more challenging.
I hope you have a great week!
I hope you have a great week!
I know what you mean. And lately I'm writing for more blogs than ever so I have little time to really get ahead. Hope you have a great week, too!
LOVE the cover on Beth Kephart's book! Adding this to the October calendar so I can watch for it! You have been busy during the Bloggiesta!
I didn't commit to Bloggiesta this time, but I did do a lot of reading yesterday. Today is work on posts day, hopefully. I do like Beth's new cover!
My weekends are crazier than my week days, so I knew I wouldn't be able to officially be a Bloggiesta-er. But I did catch up on reviews on Friday! I am loving that new cover of Beth's. A little creepy! I am an official fan of that lady...she can do no wrong in my eyes.
It is just the right touch of creepy isn't it? :) Catching up on reviews is a start!
It's amazing how much time blog housekeeping can take, isn't it? I hope you get a lot more done today.
That's a gorgeous cover!
Happy Sunday -- That cover definitely get my attention!
Gosh, thank you for sharing this, Amy. You mean the world to me, no matter what capacity, what role you play. At the end of the day, you are you.
You have ben busy. I have not been as productive as I had hoped, but I did have a wonderful weekend with my family. It balances out. Happy Sunday!
I'm glad you had a good weekend with your family! That's so important, too!
I was ticked about Sara Conner ending because it had such promise! Hope you enjoy it, as it is a thrilling ride to the end.
You still had a productive weekend, even though you didn't get Everything done. Tomorrow is another day :)
