I must have been really tired when I typed up my last post, because I forgot to mention the rules of the Brillante award. Recipients are supposed to give the award to 5 of their favorite blogs - as far as I can tell, they can be any kind of blogs. Leave a comment on the blog letting the author know they have received the award and encourage them to pass it on. That's it! I named the blogs I selected in my last post, but forgot to let them know. Duh. Sometimes, I'm not so brillante!

Anyway, have fun with it. I love being recognized for my efforts and being able to recognize others' hard work.

P.S. I am reading, I promise. Right now, I'm about halfway through Courage in Patience by Beth Fehlbaum. It's a raw novel about a young girl who has been molested by her stepfather. Not the cheeriest of subjects. I should finish it soon, then I'm going to have to choose between Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer and Devil Bones, Kathy Reichs' newest. Plus, I need to come up with interview questions for both Beth and Kirby Larson, read a couple review books and keep resisting the urge to join Carl's RIP III Challenge. So much to do, so very little time ...
