Alligators Overhead Swamp Hop Moseys On

Thank heaven today is Monday and not Friday. I'm a little superstitious and Friday 13 always gives me a case of the jumps. So since this is the beginning of the week and my usual time to blog, I'm feeling kind of back to normal . . . whatever that is.



The Swamp Hop is hoppin' and I believe there are FREE BOOKS involved here and there during the month of August.






Since I am now imbued with super powers and can be in two places at one time,  visiting two  different and very important bloggers.





One is BISH DENHAM on RANDOM THOUGHTS TODAY. I love visiting her blog because a lot of the time it's like a mini-vacation to the Virgin Islands. Bish has fascinating stories to tell about growing up in this island paradise. Hope you'll pop in and say hi, then follow her blog if you don't already.





JENN HUBBARD is hosting me, too, on her Books of our Youth series. I always enjoy her series. She features a lot of different writers who share their thoughts on one topic, so you get to know a bit about the writers who create the stories you love to read. Here's one of her super books.
