Dear Reader,
The house is clean, the guest room is ready, and my husband and I have made a list of fun things to do. Tomorrow, Seth and Bailey, our two teenage grandchildren from Wisconsin, are coming to visit for 10 days. We are so excited!
I loved visiting my grandparents when I was a kid, but I must admit when I became a teenager, other interests got my attention and I didn't visit as often. So it's quite a compliment that 14-year-old Seth, and 16-year-old Bailey have been emailing and calling, "Grandma we are so excited and we're counting the days!"
While I'm on vacation I've invited authors to fill-in for me. Every day a different author will write a guest column, and there are plenty of fun giveaways. When I asked folks to fill in for me, everyone said the most exciting part about writing a column at the book clubs was getting mail from readers. When you email a guest author, you'll get a personal reply back. So don't be shy. Send an email to say hello, or feel free to ask questions.
Shortly after I return I'll be featuring a Pet Photo Contest. Take a picture of you and your pet (maybe reading a book?) and send it to me, along with a short note about your favorite furry or feathered friend, or fish, or reptile. Inspired by a photo that a book club reader sent to me, I thought it would be fun for readers to share pet photos, and I have some cool prizes to give away, including a Sony Reader.
And on July 18th I'll announce this year's Write a Dear Reader Contest. Write about any subject this year and you could win a Kindle and gift certificates to buy your favorite books.
Please welcome the guest columnists, beginning tomorrow, you'll enjoy their stories--I did. Talk to you soon.
