Pop Culture Saturday - RWA's "Readers for Life" Literacy Autographing

Waking up at the beach ....

We have winners from my guest posts at the Reading Reviewer:

That Magic Moment - Debby is the winner!



Britt Bury's THE DARKEST DAY - Leslie is the winner!


Plus Mia Marlowe's guest post is open through Friday, July 13 at this link.


And I will be a winner in three weeks when I attend the RWA National Conference at Anaheim. I am looking forward to seeing author friends who haven't quite made it to Hawaii yet. The largest event during the conference is the "Readers for Life" Literacy Autographing - publishers donate books for purchase and authors sign them for fans! Proceeds benefit RWA's literacy projects. The list of participating authors is here

Reading at the beach ... 

Who would be in your top five authors to see? One randomly selected commenter wins a book choice form the literacy autographing - I will procure a an autographed book from the winner's choice of those authors attending the signing. This giveaway is open to all readers. Comments are open through Friday, July 13, 10 pm in Hawaii. I'll post the winner on Saturday, July 14.

Mahalo,

Kim in Hawaii

I'll need a vacation after RWA!
