Judge Judy, Channing Tatum, Bourbon, Jimmy Choo, Cheetos & Ryan Ghosling…what do they have in common?
They are some of the things that authors are thankful for.
I’m also thinking this blog title could be a movie.
What do you think?
Picture it: Judge Judy presides over a case where Channing Tatum is charged with drinking bourbon while wearing Jimmy Choo’s and tossing Cheetos at Ryan Ghosling. Yes? No?
Perhaps that could be a blog post for another day, but this week it’s all about YOU. Yes. YOU.
It goes without saying that I (as well as my fellow authors) are grateful for our families, friends and our creative gift.
We are also extremely thankful for all of YOU book lovers; readers, bloggers, librarians, book sellers.
We are happy to welcome you all to the READER APPRECIATION EVENT, gifting books in a variety of genres.
