Thanks Diana,
Will post this shortly.

And Bravo to Renay for standing her ground in the comments
Doret, that was some discussion. I'm there with you.
I cannot understand how a white reader can say they never notice the race of an author. If that were the case, why isn't there greater diversity among the writers they read? Moreover, it is insulting to suggest that anyone who is reading a writer of color is only doing so to be inclusive. Where does it say that a reader is disinterested in quality when reading a person of color?
Do we ever make the sameness argument about gender, sexual orientation or even genres? We do not, but bring race/ethnicity into the equation and then this particular element is suppose to neutral. Please.
Why not simply say you've never bother to look past race to see if you would enjoy a writer of color?

Hello, thanks for stopping by my blog.
SiO = Shout it Out. :)
I guess you can say it's an art movement/internet meme (whatever those things are) where the person making it "shouts" things that are usually kept secret. In other words, a fun way to vent.

Kelli at Book of Kells has a summary of her experience with NaPoWriMo that I think is excellent and deserves some reads: http://ofkells.blogspot.com/2009/05/napowrimo-summary-and-so-what.html
She has inspired me to write a similar summary, maybe tomorrow or Tuesday.
Yeah Susan I really liked that post. After I read it I couldn't wait for little lovin Monday
Stop whatever you're doing. Our lovely HappyNappy Bookseller, Doret has been interviewed! Yay, Doret. Loved, loved, loved it!
Thanks for the link! Did you notice you won a contest on my blog? I still need your addy.
Hi Liviana, no, I didn't. Thanks. On my way.
Morning Susan -
This morning I'd like to share the blog of a woman from Finland - Looks like she started blogging at the end of 2008, but has really been actively blogging since March of this year. She seems to review a lot of Historical, fantasy, romance, and a few others, and I've found some really great books from reading her reviews. :)

Susan thanks so much for the link and the twitter mention.
Wendi, where's the link?
Thank you for including me!
I'll be on the lookout for a great site to share :)
(Oh and is it alright if I enter again? I know some sites want a different winner each time.)
Oh, I know I'm a little late, but I want to spread some love to
Traveling To Teens (T2T) that Yan and Carol have put together!
The tour for The Chosen One has started!
It's Wednesday, how's the reading and commenting going? Have you shared some lov'n?
