Library Thing Tuesday (59) + picture of Emmy + Nothing But Ghosts Book Drive

Today's question from Wendi: What areas of Library Thing do you find confusing or frustrating? The team at LT seem to be continually updating things at the site. Is there anything in particular that you would like to see updated or changed?

You know...I can't really think of anything right now. I guess I'd like it if I could sort my books into LT authors and non-LT authors but that's only because of the LT author challenge. I think the LT team is doing a great job. I only wish I had more time to use the site to its full potential.

So it's official - new kitteh's new name is Finn. It's literary, evokes a bad-boy personality, and is easy enough to say in German and English. (Plus, we can call him Shark Fin as a nickname). As you can see, Emmy's become quite protective of our Finn.

Beth Kephart's newest novel NOTHING BUT GHOSTS releases today. I am in the middle of it and loving it so far (review up on Thursday). The amazing My Friend Amy put together a live chat/reading/party with Beth set for next Tuesday, June 30th at 9 PM PST/6 PM EST on her blog.

Not only that but we are both sponsoring a contest/book drive where the prizes get sweeter the more books are sold. Our goal is to sell 200 books to support this deserving author and show that blogs CAN have an impact on sales.

There are two ways to enter the contest - come to the chat/reading or send your receipt for NOTHING BUT GHOSTS to Amy (if you buy over amazon, use this link to make your purchase count automatically.) . Doing both gets you two entries. The prizes are:

At 25 copies sold, a paperback copy of Undercover along with a limited edition not available in stores My Friend Amy keychain!
