Hey Laurie!! We made it to Friday!!!

Happy weekend. I am so glad it is Friday - and I am all about free books. Have a good one!

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidey-ho laurie!

happy friday, for all of you with jobs. doesn't mean as much for the unemployed, but a license to drink, nonetheless.

I love Karin Slaughter. Her emails are hysterical. Hope you have a happy weekend.

Vicki

P.S. Pick me, please. I won't call the law on you!

Hope August is turning out to be better than July so far! Happy 8-8-8 to you!

Hey Laurie! Free books are great!

Hey from Kansas City. I'm for free books like my Charlie cat is for a good scratching and a full food bowl.

Happy Friday; Happy August. I'm in Georgia and we don't always call the law first thing! If you're giving away books by a Georgia author, put my name in the pot. (I hope I didn't misunderstand you and that I now have my foot in my mouth. It happens.) Love your writing. Keep it up. Marie

Hey-to from RTP!

Me want pretty books. Please?

Hey-to, Laurie! And thanks for the contest. I have never read Karen Slaughter and I am looking forward to it. Happy Friday to you and your cat family!!

hey ya from the 'boro. pick me- cause i'm all about me some southern women writers.

Hey-to! I like that. I'm about as country as they come and I don't think I've heard that one. Apparently not part of the western NC vernacular. Does it make me uppity to use the word "vernacular"?

Hey to you and Karin too!

Hey y'all! (That's the best greeting a New Yorker who has spent the last 15 years below the Mason-Dixon line can do!) Please sign me up for the free books!

Noro Blossum on sale at an online store here in Ol'Virginny: http://www.gotyarn.com/detail.cfm?ID=2987

Sorry to be an enabler. I am hangin my head in shame. I hope you make it to your post box tomorrow! Enjoy your weekend, sweetie!

Love Karin Slaughter! Have a great weekend Laurie!

Er, that's BLOSSOM, not Blossum. I mixed up a beautiful yarn with a possum. I guess I have been Virginia too long!

Wow, just read about the books on Amazon and they look awesome! :D Hope you have a great friday! :)

Hi from a displaced Southerner exiled in the Netherlands. According to my husband, I sound "country" when I talk on the phone to my Daddy. If I win, you can save on postage by mailing the books to my parents in sticky, sweltering NC!

Hey-to! That's a new one to a Yankee like me. Hope you don't hold the fact that I live north of the Mason-Dixon against me. ;)

Happy Friday!

Hey, I should (totally belatedly) thank you for mentioning Karin's knitting contest last year - I entered and won the "hat" part of it! Karin is hilarious; I love getting her newsletter, even though it only arrives approximately once a year. Glad to hear you made it to her stalker list; that's quite an accomplishment!

Hey there! ¡Hola! Salut! Chào bà!

Happy Friday! I only have one more Friday until I have to go back to teaching high school kids how to say hello and many more things in Spanish. I sure would like a good book to read before I have to go back! ;)

Love your blog!

Howdy, Laurie! Happy Friday!

I hope August is going much better for you than July!!

I have not read Karin Slaughter but her books sound exactly like the kind of books I do read.

Have a great weekend!

Hiya!!! *wave*

Love Karin's books -- have read them all so far -- can't wait to get my hands on the newest one!

Absolutely! Looks like two good end of summer reads to me!

Hey! I just finished my book last night and I'm looking for another great read. Count me in!

Hey-to Laurie. Or um, something...I'm from California, where I'd just say hey, but I'm living in Texas now, so maybe I'll just say what up, y'all!

Happy happy free book and friday!

OMG I mean IN Virginia too long. What is wrong with me today??

Happy Friday Laurie!

Hi Laurie! You make me almost miss the south!

whilst it would be insane to send the UK only book back to the UK, it won't stop me putting my name down - Mel (Leeds, UK)

Karen Newton, nice Canadian girl here. My cats would like if I won the books, so I would stay in place for a long time while they sit on me.

Hey Laurie. Love your book and blog. You inspired me to sign up for a beginners knitting class. Would love to win Karen's book. By the way there is a butcher in town with the last name "Slaughter"...no lie. Some occupations are inevitable.

Have a great day.

Hey!
I'm working my way through Karin's Grant County books and looking forward to someday making one of her events (because she pretty much tells you to in her newsletter) and I promise to take my CAP prize book with me for an in-person updated autograph... Thanks for the fun offer!

Hey to CAP!!! TGIF. I would love free books because I have had such a bad week. Too much OT. I'm a graphic artist, kind of like CAP. My print job turned out great!!!

A giveaway? I'll shout a hey-to for that!

Happy, Happy Weekend!

Hey, it's hard to take good photos when you're doing the arms length thing, so you can be in it yourself. And speaking of skin, YOU have great skin... so peaches and cream. Is it just Olay Daily Facials, or do you have more skin secrets?

Hello! Love to read your blog---and I LOVE your sense of humor!
Have a quick Friday and a nice weekend.

hola----glad it's friday..
thanks for the infor about karin.

Hello! I love love LOVE Karin Slaughter!!!!

Hi. I would love to be in the running for the books. I have not read her works and am always looking for a good read. I send my finished books to my aunt in France. She has lived there 15 yrs and still speaks LITTLE French so I have to keep her library full!!!

Hey-to!! I'd love some books!! Who could call the law on someone who sends facial products?? :)

Happy Friday, Laurie!!!

Hey Laurie, I would love a new book. The perfect excuse for staying in the house and not out in the LA heat!!

Hey!
I'm a big reader and former bookstore owner, and I love Karin Slaughter. Love the skin advice too. If Karin doesn't do well with the Oil of "Ol'lady", she might try the Vichy line of skin care - I just started and it seems to have resolved my middle-aged acne AND moisturizes my wrinkles. Not too expensive either.
Have a good weekend.!

Put me in the book contest, please! I haven't read Karin Slaughter before but have loved all of the other books you have mentioned.

Love the blog! Enter me! oops, that doesn't sound right. But you know what I mean, I'm talking about the books!

Texan translation: "Hey, ya'll."

YIPPEE.....it's Friday. What would make it better is winning a book to read....

Hey Laurie! TGIF! Thanks for all these wonderful opportunities to win! Oh - did you hear Target now has reusable shopping bags. Ones that fold up really small and fit in your purse and only cost $.89 to $1.50 each :) Just thought I'd spread some Green around...If by Green one does not mean money :) LOL

A book give-a-way? I'm all for that!!!

I love Fridays.

It's the weekend!! And there's another book giveaway on this here website! Count me in!

Can things get any better? Truly, I think not.

Howdy! I love free books. Pick me please?

I just won $18 in the lottery this week. Perhaps my luck will continue....???

Hey! I think I have appendicitis. Not that that has anything to do with the books, but if I don't win, at least I get a smidge of sympathy!
I hope you're well!

heytoyou!
You've inspired me to get a new camera so I can participate fully in the recording of cat moments, garden birds and bees delights, and the posterity of family and friends. The flickr cupboard is bare.
Am home vegging after a medical test, thinking of seaming a sweater, but I hate seaming!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Laurie!

Bob, Soba, and Frankie too~

Nothing like a good summer read! Also, your post from yesterday has inspired me to buy my cat a nice big scratching post/throne...to Petco I go this weekend!

You give her such a good introduction that I thought I'd try to win the books. What fun!

Hey-O! I'd love a new book to read!

Hi there! I would LOVE free books!! Happy Friday!

I am in need of a couple of great books to get me through the rest of the long, hot, sticky summer here in Salt Lake City.

I just finished your book - FINALLY - (was I the last person on the planet to read it?) and it was GREAT!!!! I read the whole thing in one day! LOVE YOU (although not in atalker-ish way) I'm not going through a divorce - nor do I ever plan to (does anyone plan to?)- but the words really spoke to me. Thanks for sharing them!

Oh yeah - pick me for the prize...pick me for the prize!!

hey! I'm in Georgia and parts of it are very friendly. We like to barbecue things too. Come on over and I'll show you!

And I love to read.

Hey as we say in the south. Free books are good.

Carmen in NC

Hey you! Hope you have a fantastic weekend.

Hay-2! Love Ms. Slaughter, but there's a million holds on her new one it at the library. Send those puppies up to NoCal, pleeze.

Hey! Georgia isn't so bad. I miss it.

TGIF!!!!

Hey-to! Pick me! Couch, books, me, cats, quiet! Have a lovely weekend!
Kate

Ok - Pick me. I need a boost today.

Understood immedately what "Hey-to" meant being a fellow transplanted southerner and all.

Hey! Have a nice weekend now, hear?

Ok...I really really need some new reads. I'm on my 3rd or 4th round of a Buffett book.

PLEASE PICK ME! I love both BBQ and the crawfish boil. Restraining orders, not so much.

Hello and happy Friday! I don't blame you one bit for wanting to spread the love of Olay Daily Facials. They are about the best thing the cosmetic industry has come up with in a long time. You know, other than mascara, consealer, lipstick, hair color... Okay, maybe not the best thing, but they are still great!

I need a new author obsession, so a couple of free books is a great way to start!

I love Karin Slaughter. And even more now.

Hey they'a, as we say in Maine! We BBQ and chowda here and while we might be a tad reserved we won't call the law on you unless you mess with our lobstah!

Free books are always a treat...so please pick me!

Have a lovely weekend!

Pick me. I too am Southern.

I'm always up for reading new authors!

I enjoy your blog and love book giveaways! Thanks! - Lisa from Phoenix

Hey Laurie! Happy Friday!

HEY!Hey!Hey!!!! Pick me Laurie. Have a fabulous weekend!

You so lighten my world! Thank You! Grandma Beth

Yo! and Hey! and Hi! TGIF!

Pick me, pick me, right here, here I am, pick me.

Heyho! Does that mean you can still stand in Florida and wave wildly at Georgia?

Hey-to!

Pick me, pick me, pick me!

Hi Laurie, I'm a long time lurker. I love your blog and knitting and reading and cats. We could be sisters. That sounded a bit stalkish, didn't it? (is that even a word?)

Oh bless her heart. Isn't she just a good sport?

Happy Friday, Auntie! Hug the kitties for me please.

xo

Howdy from Dallas!

Yeah for free book fridays! Sign me up!

I'm in! Thanks :-)

marianne

Sign me up!

you got to meet karen? wow...lol

Perfect hot weather to stay in and read

i'm a nice Georgia girl too! i just happen to be living in TN . . . for a while now. ;-)

I am saying hello, because I love books and you are hillarious, which I am totally not saying because I love books.

:> Happy Friday!

You ARE a great photographer, and cute as a bug (as we say in the South).

Have a great weekend!

Happy weekend!

Gotta love giveaways

Eve from Fallon NV ;)

Hey to you. And to Karin. My husband just finished her book, but I'm leaving a comment anyway, because I am all about the contest.

I would love to win her book - I love her books!

Hey to Laurie! Congrats on making it through another week! Woo hoo, it's Friday!!!!

Hello! I'm always up for free books! :)

Another Southerner chiming in - love your blog and would love to have a chance at the books!

TGIF! What a great giveaway. One of my favorite authors.

hey-to on Friday afternoon! You should come hang out with me and my mother...I bet you anything we're both shorter than you! :-)

(oh yeah, and pick me pick me pick me!) :-)

Sign me up!

you got to meet karen? wow...lol

Hi, Just wanted to tell you I love the blog. I've been reading the archives from the beginning. When I got to What is the plural of dumbass? I laughed hysterically. My husband thought I was having a seizure or something. Thanks for all the laughs. Have a great weekend.

Happy Friday. Maybe there is another Laurie in Georgia who is up to no good.

Free books = Happy.

And even if I don't win I will add the books to my request queue at the library. I did that with your last book contest and I really enjoyed The Butterfly Garden.

Hidy Ho Laurie, from South Dakota!

I love reading your blog and wish you'd come up here to S.D. one Winter - we wear LOTS of wool. ;)

Hello. Thanks for the give-away!

Happy Friday!! Love your blog (as is evident by my deer in headlights look when you visited Minnesota last year.)

Thanks for all the chuckles.

Howdy From one ODF fan to another. The midwesterners use the whole restraining order bit as a greeting too, although they start with a plate of brownies :)

Hey from South Dakota Laurie!

Thanks for all the great stuff you give away all the time, we love you for it.

Hey there. Enter me into the cost. Love your blog as always.

- Another divorced womyn covered in cat hair and lovin' merlot.

*sigh*

I think the cats broke my keyboard.

That was supposed to be "enter me into the contest."

Thanks!

Happy Friday (especially after the week I've had.) And books! Double Happy!

Hey to Laurie and also to Karin! It's so nice to read about those who get to write full time for a living and also who make the book tours. It would be an honor to win even more reading material.

"Hey-to!". Did I hear something for FREE?? Sign.me.up!! (just as long as it's not a case of used bandages or something, k?? :))

Happy Friday! And oh yeah, free books, please.

How does a Georgia girl wind up in print only in the UK?

Oh, and Hey.

Hooray!! Another new author to try! Happy Weekend!

Hello, and Happy Friday!
Please enter me into the drawing for the books...this is how much i dig books:

Books/Charlotte; Cake/Laurie

Hi Laurie! Happy Friday!
Would love to check out the book. With my yarn addiction, books are taking a distanct second to knitting, but I love them! I am currently reading your book (a gift from my Mother who tells me how much she wished she was your next door neighbor) and not wanting it to end. It is fabulous. YOU are fabulous! Our days are not complete unless we have checked in with you... :) Have a great weekend!

Hey!

Hey! I would love Karin's books, especially since we're neighbors. (I'm from Alabama).

Hey from another southern girl - from NC currently living in SC. Also divorced, but covered in dog hair. I LOVE Karin's books. Some of her characters are just a smidge twisted, making her books even more memorable. Finding your book was serendipity, a perfect find for that time in my life. Since then I've enjoyed your blog. One more thing and then I'll stop. I started simplifying (throwing out the crap) several years ago and my world became lighter and began to make a lot more sense.

Hello from Atlanta, Georgia! I've only had the law at my house twice - once because of a lurker in my backyard and once a couple of weeks ago when I had two cars broken into/vandalized/ransacked in my driveway. (You can tell my in-town neighborhood is really safe, huh?) I never call the law over to welcome friends though.

Having lived in Georgia for a few years, I reckon' the "law calling" is more like a gentle "don't let the border slap you on the hiney on the way out" than a welcome, but I'd bet they were mixed up when they informed you. ;) You'd be more likely to get kind of welcome that includes a parade than the other kind.

Hola! Karin sounds great! I'd love to read her! Too many exclamation points!

Would love a new book or 2 for the end of summer (sob!) and always love your posts. Bob was especially fetching yesterday . . . I get my kitty "fix" from you because I'm allergic. :(

Books! Talk about Manna from Heaven!

Yay! Friday!

Oh, and hey!
.

Hey to Laurie! Givin' away more books! Me wanty too! (looks like it is time to cut the caffeine)

yo, 'sup?
I like Karin. She has quizzes and contests on her website sometimes. Kind of like you, only without the yarn and cat hair. Hmmm... I like yours better.
f.

Happy Friday and please enter me in the Grand Prize Drawing for the books! Many thanks and have a super dooper weekend :)

Karin is on my list, which is waiting until the moratorium on books and beads is lifted. I'd love to get to read her without breaking my rule. Thanks for the chance, CAP!

Whether or not I win some books (and I hope I do) I'd just like to say that it's real nice seeing fellow southern blonde-haired, fair-skinned gals. We're not as rare as I thought.

Well you two are just as cute as buttons! Please enter me, happy Friday and have a great weekend!

Hey Laurie! Hope your August is going much better than your July. Happy Friday!

I'd love a free book!

Wow ... if I won two great books I'd probably cry! I LOVE hardback books but rarely have the extra funds to purchase them.

I'd also love to meet you some day. I read your blog all the time and adore your cats and your sense of humor. :-) I have two cats, a dog and a Quaker parrot. Animals are great, aren't they?

Have a wonderful day!
Lesley Ann

Winning a book would be amazing. Having the time to read it - priceless. (7 new babies coming into my life by January -- lots of knitting and crocheting to be done!)

I love free stuff and books.. this is a good combination.

Hey-to!

Hey Laurie and Karin!
I want to win!! I love Karin Slaughter's books. I can't wait for the next Grant Co.

stellar photography, oh petite one!

I hadn't heard of Karen Slaughter, but her stuff sounds good!

I'm always looking for a new author to read obsessively....:)

Hey Fellow Southern Lady!
I am all about free books, especially with vacation coming up soon and I love to do nothing but read while enjoying my martini on the deck.

Georgia girl author sounds like good reading to me! Hey y'all from this Florida cracker.

Ooh - I would love to win those faboo books! Have yerselves a great weekend, all!

I'm more of a fantasy/scifi fan, but if the author is short, she must be good!

Hey Laurie from another displaced southern girl. I'm a NC native stuck out in MO. and there is a reason the missouri sounds like misery.

anyway I<3 the south and books!

Pick me please. I work at a Borders and always give your book the highest praise. We do seem to sell a lot of your books but that is because it is so funny and inspiring at the same time. I love mysteries but have never read Karen Slaughter.But I love anything free.

Woot - free books!

You'd make a GREAT biographer, love your blog! Love books that have been signed and generously passed on to lesser beings such as me. Thanks for the chance to win!

Hey all y'all! Enter me!

Hey Laurie,

Send me the books! Pick me! pick me!

Hi Laurie, do you not realize how awesome you are? I come home from a crappy day at work to find a give-away, wow! TGIF! Hope whoever (or is it whomever?? haha) gets these books enjoys them!

Oh, my goodness! Another book offer! WOW! How exciting! Since I've learned to use the Prairie Cat library system at my local library, I've ordered 47 books! Read 'em all, too! Of course that doesn't sound like a lot, but you have to understand 24 of them have been in the past two weeks! Sure, some have been knitting books, (yours included!), some mysteries (about knitters!) and some just for fun, but still, that's kinda alot! I loved your book, it brought back so many memories of my own divorce thirty two years ago. Wish someone would have put needles in my hands then. Knitting of course!

Hey hey hey... :o)

Me me me!! Pretty please with sugar and chocolate and sprinkles and those silver thingeys with the funny name on top!

Howdy.

Well I swan! What a nice thing to do!

Hey! Pick me! I'm always up for supporting a fellow Georgia gal. Plus I need a good book to look forward to while my in-laws are visiting next week. Eek!

Throw my name in the hat for the book drawing, purty please!

Hey! I'm from Canada! Pick me! (I don't think we say "hey-to" here, sadly, but I will make it my personal mission to see that we get a little more country in the future. Canadian country, that is. Eh.)

sweet... not stalkerly at all. but htem I'm not her... and if you pick me, I've got sensitive skin too ;)

my skin is hard and impenetrable like tire rubber, or shoe leather, even. I just use water and Dawn dishwashing liquid! But I do like to read!

I'd love a free book or two for vacation reading - heck, for any time reading! Cheers!

Hello! I live about as far from the south as you can get in the continental US....that counts for something, right? (But I still think it is sweet to help a like-complected sister!) I totally mangled the spelling there.....

Hey-to Laurie!
Happy Friday.
People always look at me funny around here in the Pacific Northwest when I say y'all. it's just friendly, ya know, y'all
looking forward to a good read and I love the pics you take!

Hey! Love your cat pics.

I love Karin Slaughter. I'm a tad behind on her series, thanks to knitting, but I'd love to win her book.

hey...book me!

Hiya! I can't seem to read enough books lately, and they've all been thrillers. I would love to discover a new author. Happy friday!

I'm having a bad day....I think I'll go look at the pictures of Bob from yesterday.

*wanders off...sobbing...*

So you get "hey" as not being rude then?? Some people just don't get it. So hey!! Or hey to! Love books, love reading, love your blog, love your photography (cough). No really, I do!! Have a fantabulistic weekend kiddo!

Hey Laurie!
I love books. I'd love to be in the drawing.
Thanks
From Tennessee

ooh contest! Sign me up!

Here is a hey-to from Central Florida, via a Canadian...I love books!

Happy Friday...the South may rise again!

I have recently started reading your blog and am enjoying it lots, especially the cat pictures. Have never read this author but would like to check her out, especially if it is free.

Hey there... I'd love to win a book or 2...please, please, please (shameful begging!)...when I lived in KY, cake seemed to rule...followed closely by drinks and nibbles (canape, my dear?)...Glad we're in August, yes?
K.

Hi, happy Friday. even if I was bad and called in sick. Free books would be wonderful.

Hello. My Friday has sucked pretty hardcore, hope yours has been MUCH better. :)

I looked at those books on your blog earlier today, but got pulled away by hubby to to the Sam's store for stuff. I would so love to read her books! Those are the kind of books I love and my cousin loves the audiobooks. She listens while she works. So, we would be so grateful if you were to pick me/us.

Hey!

Ah, two beautiful Southern women, and Friday, and free books. What a delightful post! Only cat pics come close...well, and bumper stickers!

Hey from Nashville, TN.

I would love a chance to win free books! Count me in. I'm a yankee please don't hold it against me.

Hey, I just moved from GA to CO. I miss the magnolias, but I do not miss the humidity in August. :-)

Hey there! Happy, happy Friday!!

Free books are so awesome, please put my name in the pot...

Have a GREAT weekend!

Happy Friday! I just moved from China to PA to Houston, TX and am in desperate need of books to read (all of mine are in storage!!). Pick me :-))) (My smiley face has three chins to represent my girth increase over the last week as a result of eating too much Texas BBQ and sweet tea).

Hey, howya doin', Laurie? Like you, I have been displaced (going on 4 years now...) from RI to IL. I have also had the most hellish week and I need something wonderful to happen to me..so PLEASE, please choose me to win the books!! I need a happy ending to my week.

Have a great weekend and cuddles and kisses to the meow meows!

YAY it's Friday!!! Karin Slaughter is great!!!

I would love to try a Karin Slaughter book. Happy Friday!

Hey-to, Laurie! Have to admit I haven't heard that one before...bein' a Yankee and all...such southern talk sounds like a foreign language to me.

Once my Texan BFF told me that Texan for "all of you" (group of people) = "all y'alls". I'm pretty sure I looked at her like she was a Martian.

My dad's fiance is Southern. It's like I'm surrounded now. :)

Have a great weekend!

I'd love to read a book written by a nice short person like Karin Slaughter.

Hey-to Miss Laurie! The weekend's almost here!

Hey-to, Laurie! My mom and I read your blog every day. It is one of the high points of our day. We look forward to reading your entries, the pictures of your cats and your original patterns whenever you have them. We own your book and love it! We wish you the best of luck in everything and thank you for all the time, effort and energy you put into your blog. Happy Weekend!

Hey y'all! (I always hear Paula Deen when I type that...)

I'm a short (probably shorter than you), mystery-reading, y'all-saying, cat-person, so please count me in on the book drawing! :-)

I love books and these look wonderful. And your picture taking contunues to amaze!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Hey Goober! Hey Gomer!
does that count??

Happy weekend!

Hi, I would love to be entered into your contest and I love youg blog and your attitude.

I love a chance at free stuff! I love your blog and your cat-tastic pictures! I hope I win her books, I've never read her before ;-)

Count me in for the drawing. It's always nice to have new books to read.

Hey ya'll. Pick me. :)

'Hey-to' Hope it's not too late to enter the drawing. I love your blog, by the way. And your cats are just terrific. Your Soba looks so much like my cat Billie, who died a couple of years ago.

Well, I knew about hey, but thanks to Smokey Joe I have deciphered the Hi-D-Ho drive-in whose name used to puzzle me. Long ago in Alamogordo, NM.

Just so you know, in the fabled land of Georgia, we barbecue big things too, only under the shade of a magnolia. Hey!

*wanders back in...wiping face*

Ok. I'm feeling a little better now. Sure, I'd love some free books. Enter me in please!

Thank goodness for the kitty cat pictures. Some days I just need to see something cute, soft and fuzzy that isnt related to the dust bunnies in my bedroom.

I miss having a pet, so it's kind of nice to live vicariously through other people's blogs that have digital cameras and photogenic animal life.

Love the pictures of Bob...he reminds me of my aunt's former cats. But Bob looks better and isnt missing any of his original parts. (well, nothing obvious at least) My aunt had a cat that was missing his ear...and another one that was missing part of the snaky thing that follows behind the cat when it walks...oh yeah...that's the tail. :)

From one country girl to another... howdy! We'd say "howdy, youins" around my southern country parts though... :) would love to win the books! Amazingly enough I did learn to read here around these parts!

Hola Chica! I am not Spanish nor do I play a Spanish person on T.V. I am just weird.

Please enter me in the contest. I've not heard of this author before and I should remain ignorant.

I love to read and listen to Karin Slaughter's books. I would love to receive signed copies of her books.

That was supposed to say "shouldn't remain ignorant." But people who hit publish before preview may be beyond hope!

Hey to your short Southern self from another short (and wide) Southerner in NC. I'm all in for the free book thang!

I have discovered that NOT watching TV and reading and knitting instead has really lowered my anxiety level....I figure if anything REALLY important happens, my mother-in-law will call me :)

Yay, Friday! Yay, books! In Canada we don't call the law, we just offer you a beverage or a mixed drink with about two ice cubes, because apparently there's some kind of beverage ice shortage or something. Here in the So Cal desert in monsoony August we offer you your choice of adult beverage and a pool, umbrellas for said drink and/or pool optional. Cat fluff on every possible surface and potentially in your beverage, sadly not optional. But, yay cats!

Hey,
Today is one of those days that would be nice to win something.

Hey.

(Which I understand is actually the proper response to "Hey!")

;)

It's 5:33 on a FRIDAY, and I'm still at work. That certainly calls for a couple good books!

Pick me! Pick me!

Thanks for keeping me entertained!

Hey, Laurie! Love your blog and would love to win some books!

I love your blog. I read it everyday! Have been meaning to ask if you have ever read Jane Evanovitch? I think you would love her and her quirky characters. They are totally escapism reading.

Oh hey! :)

Hey!

I live in Georgia now, but I'm from the West so it's still a bit new to me. But I have tried cheese grits one time.

Hi Laurie! Love your blog, your kitties' antics and would love to be in contention for a book! Thanks!

Hey, Laurie! Hey, Karin! I'd put Karin's signed books right next to yours.

Howdy!--that's what we say in Texas when you get to our bar b q. And Thank you!--that's what we say when we get a chance at free stuff.

Hey Laurie....Happy Friday!!

In Florida, we just give you tea. And cake.

Hi darlin'!

Hey Laurie - happy Friday to you too! I'd love some free books. Thanks!

In Canada we'd give you a beer and talk about the weather.

It's August, Friday, and was payday to boot!!!! Love to read, knit and drink wine. The weekends are often too short to get the first two done, but there is always time for wine!

Karin Slaughter is GREAT! And a release so new it's only available in the UK?!? Oh, I hope I win the books! :-)

Thanks for the giggles and the opportunity for the books, CAP!

Hey there! Entering is always fun, but winning would make my daughter (13) flip out! She loves the kitty pics the most! (Hope the kitties are keeping cool)

Love your blog. Who can resist a book contest? I should be finishing the baby blanket I'm knitting instead of surfing the 'net...
