Linky Love
A little link salad to end the week.

HB Moore is looking for reviewers for her newest book, AMMON.
I'm not Mormon but I've read Heather's books and they're really good. If you enjoy books about faith, check out the link and contact her.

Do we have any book reviewers out there? Apocalypse Rising is now available from NetGalley.
I am so nervous about this book. It's a sequel, so the big elephant in the room is: Can it stand alone or do you have to read the first book? I'm hoping people will buy both to get the full apocalyptic effect. :grin:

And finally...
Wills and Kate are jumping the broom. I have to admit, I find the whole royalty thing a bit pretentious, but we have nothing on that level here, so it's fun to watch. Getting married is hard enough as it is without a billion people watching. I wish the young couple well. I hope they have a grand life together.

Do you have any links or news to add? Do tell.
What do you think of all the royal pageantry? Would you be willing to have your whole life on display?

Wishing Kate and William lots of luck! They have several years together already behind them, so I have high hopes :-)
Yes, the whole wedding is a bit petentious but fun. Best of luck to them--but I wouldn't want to be on display like that. :)
And best wishes to the married couple. I understand the pageantry, but wow, what a lot to have to handle, forever and ever now!
Happy Friday to you :)
I'm not normally a Royalist but I did enjoy watching all the pomp and ceremony, and I wish them well.
Thank you again!
Jennifer: The bride was so pretty. I absolutely adored the dress.
Sarah: Good luck. The reader truly was the best thing I've ever won.
Joanne: I was pleased to see how Kate and Will brought it down to a more reasonable level. Loved that they drove an Aston Martin to the other residence.
Ellie: Don't you live in London? I imagine it was impossible to move around much. Very exciting though.
To be part of the "royal family" at all would be such a bother and a nuisance but for people today to make such a big deal out of the wedding of William and Kate amuses me, the pageantry and the pomp and circumstance do not mean the marriage will fail or last all that matters in the end is the two young people who are finally tying the knot...
However you are right Maria we can enjoy the spectacle and all I can say is just thank our lucky stars to be normal everyday people who do not have to live our own lives in the fish bowl that apparently goes along with the lineage of being a royal in England!
I like my independence and isolation. The idea of someone else telling me how to live my life would be ridiculous.
Oh, and the dress was good too, though I preferred the trees in the Abbey and the Archbishop of Canterbury's eyebrows.
CAN NOT WAIT for this...going to re-read ToF so the story is fresh for the 9th :)

I used to think he did some of those things deliberately to alleviate the tedium. :)
Amazon and B&N are so slow in updating ebooks. Chances are good they won't be updated until at least it releases.
Although Carina has its own blurb, (http://ebooks.carinapress.com/EF6974BC-CF22-405E-9F90-7C9E3EE6A315/10/134/en/ContentDetails.htm?ID=88316FB6-BC3B-4BD1-8C54-BEC885138B3B), I use a shorter one:
The only place to hide was in the past. Leda and Grey have one chance to escape a madman and that’s through a portal to a time before the apocalypse. But nothing has prepared them for 21st century culture, and every misstep draws them closer to the End Times. The world is teetering on extinction, and they may very well be the cause of it.
Thank you for always being so supportive of me. {{hugs}}
I would like to tweet the link about the story. Do you think that would be okay? Or this whole post?
