Thanks for hosting today!

Author Amok said...

Thanks for hosting, Becky.

I have 5 questions for Edie Hemingway today. Edgar Allan Poe's poem, "Annabel Lee," plays an important role in Edie's new middle grade novel, "Road to Tater Hill." You'll find "Annabel Lee" and a fun Poe fact at the end of the post.

TGIPF!

HI, Becky! Thanks for hosting. 7-Imp is celebrating fall with "Ex Libris" by Eleanor Wilner.

Also, my word verification is "lenchies," which I think should be a real word. Maybe for the snacky feeling I get between breakfast and lunch?
