Whoo-hoo! I just heard that Something About You made the shortlist for the American Library Association’s 2011 Top Genre Fiction Reading List! Thank you, ALA!
The complete list can be found here. Funny–Meljean Brook’s The Iron Duke also made the list, and I’m reading that book (and enjoying it) right now.
Stayed tuned, folks: juliejames.com is going through a redesign and the new website will be launched soon! I can’t wait for you all to see it.
In the meantime, there’s a cool giveaway I wanted to let you know about. Over at Writerspace, I’m giving away a $50 Macy’s gift card and an ARC of A Lot Like Love. (The gift card even has the book cover on it– how cool is that?) You can enter the giveaway here.
Good luck to all of you who enter, and happy reading!
In case any of you are looking for quick dessert recipes for the holidays, I just made this one and thought I’d share– it’s delicious, no-bake, and super-easy (many thanks to my friend Debra for the recipe!):
Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
2 cups powder sugar
12 graham crackers crushed or 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup peanut butter
1 stick butter (melted)
Mix together and press into 13 x 9 inch pan
8 oz chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet)
2/3 cup peanut butter
Melt together over very low heat. Spread on top of crust. Refrigerate.
Enjoy!
Hey everyone! I’m getting into the holiday spirit and giving away a copy of Something About You over at Romancing the Book. And there’s a great Christmas cookie recipe for kids! You can check that out here.
Happy holidays!
How cool is this? Anyone interested in checking out a sample of the Just the Sexiest Man Alive audiobook, the narrator, Karen White, posted a clip on her website. (Many thanks to Karen for sharing!) Granted, this is my first audiobook, but I think Karen does a FABULOUS job. But don’t just go by my word, check it out for yourself here.
Happy listening!
Oh– on the topic of Just the Sexiest Man Alive— I found out last week that the book has gone into its fourth printing. Hurray!
(And–psst– if you don’t do audiobooks, but like the sound of the book, Amazon has it on sale here for the holidays for only $3.12!) (Kind of a random price, but who’s complaining?)
