What’s Jack up to? Wild boy is having a fun time lately perched up high on the couch looking out the window barking at the world. He’s still not thrilled with me not taking him out as often or as long as he would like this past week but he’s been pulling a bit too much lately and the back can't deal. I told you before Jack graduated from obedience training under 'the no child left behind act'. But really, all is pretty good in Jack’s world.
Yesterday the nominations for RWA’s Rita and Golden Heart awards came out which is essentially the Oscars for romance books. Twitter was all a twitter and the message boards were on fire with congratulations all around. I’d like to say congrats too all the nominees.
I can feel my TBR (to be read) pile growing at this very moment.

I don’t even know which way to turn here with so many of my faves on the list. Hello. Kleypas, Hoyt, James. Sigh. And the others I have not read yet but have heard very good things. So many books so little time.

Just dropping by to say hi to you and Jack and hope you are beginning to feel better!! Hugs xo
My Sophie graduated under the same act..poor girl could sit but the rest was just too boring for a terrier! Hope your back gets better and you and Jack are out and about again. Congrats to all the winners I will have to check them out.
I have two pups that both failed miserably- actually it's probably me for being too soft!
Congrats to all of the book winners. Hope you're feeling better.
Congrats to the finalists!
LOL... Jack and Sophie make me laugh. It is the terrier in them that makes them so smart. Our first rescue Bud (welsh terrier) was returned to the breeder because he was too smart for them. The trainer we had for Kelly I liked her way of thinking. Some of the folks used her technique in raising their kids. LOL...
Kwana thanks for the list of books! I enjoy a good romance book.
I hope each day your back gets better. xoxo
What an exciting day it was! So many fabulous authors to choose from. I don't even know who to cheer for! Well, except Gena and Rocki. They're a given. : )
....and the award will go to you when you are on that list - my friend! Now get that assistant of yours, "Jack" on board and sit up straight when you write. I know you can do it! It looks like your list of mentors is a good one. Congrats to each of you!
Oh fun new books to add to my list. My reading list just keeps growing and growing.
Oh that Jack. He makes me laugh. My little guys are made at me as well for no walks today due to the rain. They keep going by the leashes and crying. Way to make me like a horrible mommy.
