Christmas Story-telling, by John Everett Millais, 1862

Hello, again! Here I am with a quick summary of Week 3 of the tour. Coincidence or not, I’ve been happy to see some familiar screen names among the responders at these different locations.

Last week was probably the busiest so far with a guest appearance every day of the work week. On Monday, December 17, I blogged about the disabled heroine on Romancing the Book. On Tuesday, December 18, I shared my family recipe for Coconut Date Balls at Reading Between the Wines. Two interviews were logged on Wednesday, December 19, at Simply Ali and Dear Author, as part of their weekly Debut Print Author feature.  On Thursday, December 19, I participated in an ongoing holiday event at Cocktails and Books, blogging about a favorite winter memory.  A blog about families in romance at Fresh Fiction finished out the week on Friday, December 20. Giveaways of Waltz with a Stranger are being held at most of these events.

This week, I’ll be making three blog appearances, and I think giveaways are being held there too, so interested parties might want to check these out.

December 24: Romance at Random

December 27: Manga Maniac Cafe

December 28: Books Like Breathing

This being the week of Christmas itself, Blue Stockings & Crossed Genres will be going on a brief winter hiatus. But I hope to be back soon, with my usual stash of this and that, including the ongoing alphabet posts and perhaps some information of what might be happening down the road . . .

In the meantime, have a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year!
