Second of all, I want to go ahead and let y'all know about some changes coming up. My dear friend Landra at Rise of the Slush and I are starting a review blog at the beginning of the year for books published through a small press or self-published. We're covering EVERYTHING (including YA) as long as it's through a small press or self-pubbed, so keep your eyes open. It's called Indie Books R Us for right now because I suck hardcore at titles, but I'd love it if you guys checked in every-so-often. Landra's already a highly-experienced reviewer and I just like excuses to read. However, this means I'll be blogging even less frequently here (like the 2-3 times a week I manage are really that tough), but I hope to see some familiar names over there :)
Third of all, I'd like to share with you a website that I found via The Bloggess. It's called Wish Upon a Hero and it's an effortless way to change someone's life in time for Christmas. There are a lot of families who won't be able to provide for their families during the holiday season due to unemployment, cutbacks at work, illness, or a variety of other seasons, and this website allows you to chip in to whomever you want. It's. Freaking. Awesome.
I think that's everything. Anyone got some good news to share????

Count me in, Lexcade. I'll be checking out the new site and reading the reviews.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season.
Oooo, a review site? Cool! Mind if I add you to my list of review sites on my blog once you're up and running?
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you. :)
Thanks, guys! Landra and I are very excited :)
Pippa, that would ROCK! Thank you so much!!!! I'll let you know when we're up and running :)
Yay to us! And Merry Christmas to you too Lexcade. Super excited about the review site. *cracks knuckles* Ready to get busy :)
Pippa you're awesome, in case no one told you that today!
love that blog name!
Am I too late? Did you take down the site till it's really live? The link is dead :o(.
You KNOW I'm excited for you and Landra! Can't wait to see what you come up with. Anytime you'd like a FLOOD -- and I mean of biblical proportion -- of subs for review, just let me know. One mention on one particular forum I frequent will keep you drowning in indie books for 2 years or more. Seriously.
Trust me, you'll need to have some solid guidelines in place for what books you'll accept for review -- if you even open up to unsolicited subs. Let me know if you'd like me to post out your link when you're ready :o)
...it'd probably help to put in the correct link... it's indiebooksrus.wordpress.com *sigh*
Landra and I haven't talked about guidelines...but that would help considerably.
I appreciate the offer. I'm sure it'll be a good way to get us started at least, once we get guidelines set up. Thank you so much for your help and support, Phoenix!
Ooh, look. Pretties! <:o)
@lexcade - you're welcome. :)
@Landra - ty very much! :)
