Same Meme as Below: Take 2

I have already accomplished this meme, but have been tagged once again by a different person (The brilliant, organic, brilliantly organic African Bookworm). You can see the rules on the previous post, so I'm just going to go ahead and meme away. Who knows. Maybe this time I'll even tag someone...

I am currently reading Abhorsen by Garth Nix and Page 123: Lines 5,6,7,8 says....

"A black and tan dog not much bigger than a terrier, with huge feathery wings growing out of its shoulders.
At least it's a different dream, part of him thought. He had to be almost awake, and this was one of those dream fragments that precede total wakefulness, where reality and fantasy mix. It was his tent, he knew, but an owl and a winged dog!"

Waitwaitwait. I know that describes the Disreputable Dog, but since when did she/he wings? And who is Nick (I just read around those few lines to get some context)? Sorry to cut a post short everyone, but I must now read on and figure out how and when this happened.

I be taggzing...

1. Ink Mage (The Magic of Ink)
2. Tyto Alba (The Magic of Ink)
3. Jory (Jane & Jory Book Reviews)
4. Jane (Jane & Jory Book Reviews)
5. Courtney (Once Upon a Bookshelf)

Go to. Go to.

Best of luck in all your meme-ing delights.

1 Day Refund

It is a habit of mine to wait until the last minute to do everything. This spread-the-word activity is (sadly) no different.

So. Over at the Story Siren, a splendid book-blog of challenge taking and book giving glory there is a contest. A contest for THREE WHOLE BOOKS!!! Note that these are whole books as opposed to ones with the pages torn out. They are for the Fire/Poison/Magic Study Series by Maria V. Snyder. For all the details you must go off in pursuit of the shiny grey link. Oh. And just a quick note. This contest ends tomorrow at midnight. Yes. Yes. I can hear your protests. "Aella! Why must you put such important things off until the very last minute?" And I have no answer but to hang my head in shame.

But to make it up to you, I am now engaging in another spread the word activity. 3 Cheerz for dual-postage and space conservation! This one is another book give away, but at the Page Flipper. This is also a laudable blog with many the intriguing review. 6 Books all of which are described ever so eloquently at the linked blog:

• Tweak by Nic Sheff
• Here, There Be Dragons by James A. Owen and its sequel, In Search for the Red Dragon
• Three Little Words by Ashley Rhodes-Courter
• Fake Boyfriend by Kate Brian
• and The Unspoken by Thomas Fahy

Bloggers will enter. But who will win? Simply observe the details and act upon the directions. And this time I've given fair warning. 31 days worth actually. The entire challenge is simpler than chick lit and far less painful.

Support the literary realms and its "dauntless crusaders" (time for another round of Name That Movie) in these splendid challenges and my hopes for success to all.
