Final countdown: 3 days until we Scream!

Who and What: Scream! For the Cure is a multi-author, multi-genre auction to benefit Stand Up 2 Cancer, one of the leaders in supporting cancer research. 100% of donations goes to research.

When: Beginning October 5th readers will have an opportunity to bid for baskets. The categories are Erotic Romance, Urban Fantasy, YA & Adult paranormal romance, and Horror/Suspense. We’ll be showcasing the baskets the week they go up for auction, with the auctions taking place on that Friday. 

How: In the comments. When the auction posts go live, you bid in the comment section. 

More: In-between, we’ll also have guest posts from different authors and bloggers talking about their personal struggles with cancer, some who’ve battled the disease themselves, and some who have witnessed the ongoing struggle through someone else. *WAVES* I'll be posting, and crying. So I'm coming with a box of kleenex. 

Plus: It’ll also be a forum for people to talk about their experiences, maybe share some uplifting stories as well. It’ll be whatever we want it to be.

Here's a quick glance at some of the Urban Fantasy, YA, Paranormal Romance, Erotic Romance, and Horror Authors participating. 

Funday Monday- September 12, 2011

It's Funday Monday and we need new stuff to keep wandering minds occupied.

First a little naughtiness... not that kind romance readers.

4.) Perpetual Kid- Whether you work from home, occupy the 9-5 shift or just want to send something to a critique partner. Perpetual Kid has a ton of awesome items. A friend turned me on to this site and let me say that her and I both got stuck on here for hours finding ways to spend our money. There was a lot of giggling involved too.

3.) Whine at 9 - Recently a twitter friend turned me onto this blog. It's all about complaining and actually has audio podcasts that you can listen to. There's even a call in number where you can provide your own whine. I haven't used the number yet, but am putting it on my reserve list. So between the blogs and audio clips you'll find plenty of stuff to amuse you and who knows some of the whines may boost a little creativity.

2.) Fantasy book reviews- In the search through the blog-o-sphere I've been trying to locate a good fantasy book review site. So far my search has turned up a few results and I have mixed feelings about them. Regardless, if you're a fantasy genre fan then these sites may be of interest for your next money spending endeavor.
Fantasy Book Critic- extremely detailed reviews.
Fantasy & SciFi Lovin' News & Reviews- Reviews on more than just fantasy including movies, graphic novels, etc.
Fantasy Book Reviews- This covers YA fantasy only. The great thing is that the provide detailed opinions and at least describe if a book may have content that parents don't want their children to read.

1.) Ashley March is on a blog Tour!- Alright! Everyone knows I'm a sucker for historical romance. Yes...I am. Anyhoo, Ashley March's latest Romancing the Countess is out now and she has started a massive contest/slash blog tour. The link has more info. She's blogging about this book just about everywhere, and let me tell you from personal experience it's worth talking about. I'll have a review up soon. The grand prize is 50 romance books... if you can handle the challenge.

I'm sure you noticed only 4 exciting things this week... but if that's all there is then *shrugs*.
Enjoy the Monday!
