Peace,
Geoffrey
Hi Geoffrey, it will be up before folks wipe the sand from their eyes. Thanks.
Thanks Susan. Can you pass my book along to Nikki Grimes, Call for book donations
Hey I won, thanks. I really appreciate you doing this.
Give thanks, Black-eyed Susan!
Did you share some lov'n today?
Thanks a bunch for putting a link up for Body Image Week at MFA!
It's not to late to leave links and it's never too late to support fellow bloggers. Can someone tell me why this meme isn't generating greater participation? :-(
Hi Page Turner, you're welcome. Feel free to leave links for other articles at your site or elsewhere.
Here's a link to my Mother's Day book list:

Hey Susan - I'm sending you LOTS of Lov'n today. I hope you won't be discouraged if you aren't getting the kind of response to your meme that you want. I'm new to memes and I'm not able to participate in all of the excited ones that you do - but I'll always contribute when I can!
Thanks, Claudia. How are you? Always glad when you come by. Speaking of poems. At our recent, Lay It Down Sunday (Color Online), our girls put on a talent show. They were amazing! The show was just for ourselves but it turned out so well, we're planning on putting on a show and inviting other community programs to come up and see what our girls can do.
That's great news about the talent show! Glad to hear things are going well. I can't complain...It's HOT down South and I've been spending more and more time in the yard digging and planting and getting myself dirty! Yay!
Morning Susan - I will share a little love this morning:
From Bermudaonion's Weblog, a great review of Simas Undergarments for Women (fiction): http://bermudaonion.wordpress.com/2009/04/28/review-simas-undergarments-for-women/
From Enroute to Life, a review and blog tour (including a giveaway) for One Deadly Sin (fiction): http://enroutetolife.blogspot.com/2009/04/early-birds-blog-tour-and-giveaway-one.html
Over at The Epic Rat, Cecelia has shared a list (with links to interviews, giveaways, reviews, etc) of blog tours she is participating in: http://epicrat.blogspot.com/2009/04/ultimate-list-of-blog-tours-and-cameos.html

For future posts, do you prefer copies of the web address, or links?
I've visited over 10+ blogs and left comments this morning (non-meme related posts). Now I'm off to work on Teaser Tuesday posts! :)
~ Wendi
Thanks Wendi, you only need to leave links, but we appreciate the commentary, too. Did you see my question about Christian teen fiction on your blog?
I've added a link (and the button) in my sidebar, so hopefully I'll remember to head over on Monday!! :)
~ Wendi
PS - I saw your question about WildCard tours, but not about Christian Teen Fiction - I'll see if I can find it. . .
I'm sorry Susan!! I'm generally really great about comments, but I somehow missed the one about Christian Teen fiction - what was your comment? If you can remember the post you made it on I can go find it.
:) Wendi
Great post and great point. I'm guilty of "lurking" around blogs myself...I read a ton of blogs but don't comment nearly as often as I'd like to. I try to comment on at least 1 or 2 blogs a day, more if I find posts that I'm passionate about.
At the very least, I think it's nice to just say "thanks for posting" on a person's blog to let them know somebody's reading and appreciates what they're saying.
I love this l'il loving stuff!

Hi Okie and Bernice, welcome to Little Lov'n Monday. Bernice we have your work in our library. I need to make a point to feature it soon. Okie, I like what you do and yes, we can't comment to everything but making a conscious effort to let our peers know they're being read is always a good thing. A simple comment can make someone's day.
Reverie has an interesting post up about the acceptance of YA as actual literature, which is always an interesting topic. Check it out here!

Hey Doret, don't know how I missed your note. Will donate a book on your behalf. Thanks.
Putting it up, Steph. Thanks.
Here's an interesting article for those who do not know what ARCs are =) http://www.forewordmagazine.com/blogs/shelfspace/PermaLink,guid,6ef8cfff-c44c-43bd-9078-de3bc7166f65.aspx
This is a great idea! I'm so touched that Wendi mentioned my post.

Thanks Ashley, that's a lot of love. Good luck in the drawing.
I love the idea behind this meme! I've been an awful slacker this past week with giving some love to my fellow bloggers!
Thank you to Wendi for showing me some love! :)
And I will also leave this link where Justina announces the winners of her Find Beauty Challenge.
I'm such an idiot - I left a comment on the wrong LLM post!
I should have written, here:
I'm plugging Cindy's new book, so it's not really celebrating the blog of a fellow blogger, but definitely the work of one!!!
Here are two posts you MUST NOT miss!

Aerin, love is love. Ain't madatcha. Posting it now.
Thanks, KB.
Aerin, after visiting Ello's blog I've decided I'm going to write my C.O.R.A. Diversity Roll Call post on her. How about you joining us for the meme?
KB,
The link isn't working for me. Please repost.
Wow, this is a wonderful blog and I am honored to be linked up here! And your CORA diversity blog is awesome! We need more of this!!! Celebrating diversity, hurray! I am so for this! And since this is linky love day I'm going to link you to the Enchanted Inkpot technically to a post I did about fantasy in Asia.
http://community.livejournal.com/enchantedinkpot/5238.html
There was another post about gender roles where I talked about the fate of gender in Asia too. I'm not sure if you have seen them, but if not, I hope you enjoy them!
And thank you for your wonderful compliment on my blog. I have to tell you I am truly honored by your words. Thank you.
Thanks so much for your support of Body Image Week! I'm writing about my own body image experiences this week at http://mybignose.blogspot.com
Here's something awesome:
